Custom Guided Tours of the Lake District
Tailor-made private tours for small groups
Our tours consist of half and full day tours and we can also do hourly tours for your preference.
- A half day tour starts at 9am and finishes at 1pm
- A full day tour starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm

We can accommodate small groups of up to 6 people. All our tours are child friendly and we welcome children and infants of all ages. Infant/child seats are available at no extra cost on request.
We also provide:
- Complimentary bottled water

Over the years some people have wanted to trace their family tree and ancestral connections and we have been able to design a tour to accommodate this.
We highly recommend that you participate in one of the tours at the start of your stay in the Lake District because the knowledge and information you will gain from the tour will enrich the rest of your holiday.
