A great day out in the south Lake District.

Published on Aug, 2024

A lovely day spent travelling the south Lake District on this trip. Our driver, Tony, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful without being overly chatty whilst driving. The weather certainly helped provide some lovely views of the Lakes and we drove up roads which I certainly would not have been confident enough to do so. A great trip which I would recommend to anyone wanting to see more of the wonderful scenery without the hassle of driving.

100% recommended

Trip with Tony! Very good driver, very knowledgeable about Lake District, and making our rainy day espectacular. He is super nice and I really enjoyed this trip! I recommend this company tour, they are serious, reliable and worth the money. Thank you for everything! :)

A wet High Adventure experience.

Despite some awful weather, I loved the day. Tony went above and beyond to make sure we didn't miss anything. The drives over the Langdale passes were absolutely spectacular. He answered every question I threw at him and was very professional. I would definitely use Mountain Goat again and recommend it to anyone who wants a great day out.

Great trip

Duncan was friendly and professional, very informative and very considerate of my husband’s limited mobility needs. He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe over the high passes!

Great tour with Mountain Goat

Heres a shout out to Derek from the High Adventure tour from Windermere for an amazing experience! Derek was funny and full of interesting trivia about the Lake District and was really good with allowing us time at the view points, the passes, the Roman fort to take in the real essence of the National Park! We got to see the real, raw natural beauty of the region and it was an exhilarating and real eye-opening expereience for us! The Lake District is so much more than Windermere or Ambleside! Would totally recommend it!
