Escape the bustle of Manchester and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of England’s Lake District on this full-day guided bus tour. Travel in comfort through rolling hills and serene countryside, discovering why this region has inspired poets and artists for centuries.

Your adventure begins in Bowness, a lovely town nestled on the shores of Lake Windermere. Here, you can enjoy a scenic cruise across the tranquil waters or explore the charming streets lined with inviting shops and cafés, all framed by spectacular lake views.

Continue to Grasmere, a village beloved by William Wordsworth. Take time to visit Dove Cottage, sample the famous Grasmere gingerbread, or simply unwind in the peaceful Daffodil Garden by the River Rothay. The area’s literary history and natural beauty make it a highlight of the day.

From Manchester: Lake District Bus Tour & Windermere Cruise

Good to know

You're restricted to 14 kilograms (31lbs) of luggage per person on the tours. This should be one piece of luggage similar to an airline carry-on bag plus a small bag for onboard personal items • To maintain balance and comfort on board, group bookings are limited to a maximum of 8 passengers per booking. Please note this does not mean the tour is capped at 8 people overall - our small-group tours operate with up to 16 participants in total. This way, you’ll share the journey with other like-minded travellers while still enjoying the benefits of a smaller group: more personal service, more time with locals, more opportunities off the bus, and a friendlier, more authentic travel experience. *Please note that on 24 December, Dove Cottage and the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop will be closed, and options for food and refreshments on that day will be limited.
