Spectacular views and stunning driving from Duncan - oh my word, these guides need to be awarded some sort of DVLA platinum driving status. There were moments on the high narrow slopes when I was nervous but Duncan was zen with bionic skills even leisurely carried on his commentary. I've now been on the 10 Lake tour, the Beatrix Potter tour and now this last high mountain pass tour of the year and I've been totally thrilled with each experience. This tour had stunning views! Our group had lunch at the Brook House Inn where the lunch was really yummy and very reasonably priced. Can't fault the day, tour or guide. Thank you so much!

His driving was first class his commentary was very interesting and his general manner very helpful, courteous and considerate to us. he also ensured that we were in time for the birds of prey at Muncaster. And their flying and was totally fascinating. We had a very good day.
