Very well organised tour visiting lots of great places throughout the Western Lakes.

Great tour guide/ driver Tony who gave lots of info about the sites we visited.

Great lunch stop at a local pub and lovely trip on the railway.

Definitely would recommend these tours to anyone.

Amazing!

The knowledge, experience and humor of our outstanding driver:guide, Tony!

What I liked best is that he didn’t need to talk excessively the whole 8 hours but when we passed points of interests and stops and always answered our questions. Amazing countryside vistas

Just returned from a fabulous full day on the high adventure tour. Tony our driver was amazing. Great careful driver up very steep hills/mountains, knowledgeable about the area and very patient with me who was full of questions! A credit to your company. Give the man a raise! Lol. Will definitely book with you again. Great value for money too.

It's always a pleasure to receive such lovely feedback and we will certainly pass this on to Tony. It's great to sit back and let someone else do the driving especially on the high mountain passes, as it enables you to take in the stunning scenery on offer on this tour.

Thank you once again for choosing to book with Mountain Goat.

Amazing!

This was the third Mountain Goat Trip that my husband and I took on our two week holiday to the Lake District and it did not disappoint. This time we went on the High Adventure which covered the less busy Western area of the lakes. I was a bit dubious about booking because I am bit nervous with scarey roads but I need not have worried. Our driver, Tony, was so calm and reassuring and he was such an experienced, careful driver that he set my mind at rest. It was a wonderful opportunity to see this area as it is not possible to access it by buses and Tony told us lots of information along the way about the various locations. We made lots of stops to expolore and stretch our legs and it really was an enjoyable day. We saw so much and the scenery was magnificent.

Amazing!

We went on this tour on 11.08.2024 with Tony and we had a wonderful time. Although roads look scary I felt safe safe with Tony who was not only a great driver but also was very patient and respectful with other drivers and especially Sunday ones. We learned a lot about visited spots and we pass through scenic and unforgettable landscapes. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing!

We appreciated most the breath-taking views from Wrynose and Hardknott passes, and the skillful driving of our guide round hairpin bends! We had a delicious lunch in the hotel at Boot and enjoyed our trip on the little steam train from Ravenglass.

Amazing!

Went on this tour this week and I highly recommend. Our driver Tony, was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and made frequent stops for photo opportunities. The views at the top of each Pass were awesome. The roads are very steep but I felt safe at all times. We stopped for lunch at a lovely Inn and visited a Bird of prey display before going on a short steam train ride at the end of the day.
