Mountain Goat Tours: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, especially for someone who doesn’t want to walk for a really long time in the winter! Btw find one picture of Derek, thanks for his kindness and knowledge!
Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience on the tour with our guide. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the Lakes and the places we visited, but also incredibly funny and engaging. We had the best time. Thank you Tim for making this day as awesome as it was.
Hello Muhammad, Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review! We're so glad to hear you had a great day with Tim, we'll pass on your comments to him. Hopefully we'll see you again on one of the tours. All the best The Mountain Goat Team
Positive experience: We had a great experience on the Ten Lakes Spectacular Tour. Our driver, Tim, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating facts and stories throughout the journey. He also had a great sense of humor, keeping us entertained with his witty jokes, which made the day even more enjoyable. Tim went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable experience, even taking lovely pictures of us at some of the most picturesque spots. The itinerary was well planned, showcasing the stunning beauty of the Lake District, from tranquil lakes to breathtaking viewpoints, although I would personally have preferred a shorter lunch break (we had 1.5 hours and I thought 1 was enough).
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing time on the Ten Lakes Tour with Mountain Goat Tours in Windermere! Despite the winter weather not being on our side, the tour was incredibly well-organized, and we were able to see and experience so much of the beautiful Lake District in one day. Our guide, Derek, was absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, funny, and full of energy! He kept us entertained and informed throughout the journey, making it a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Lake District efficiently and enjoyably!
Fantastic experience: My parents and I Had an amazing day trip to Lake district (Windemere). The day was incredible. Our tour guide Jean was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She knew all the good spots for taking pictures. I would definitely recommend her for tours and can see myself doing this tour again.

Fantastic experience: Six Lakes Tour We've just completed the six lakes tour with our guide Sheri. I've got to say at this point this lady is an fantastic tour guide and her knowledge of the area is amazing. The transport was clean and well maintained and the route was quite breathtaking throughout we had three stops one at Ullswater (15mins) and the other at Grasmere (60mins) . The third stop was to take in the ancient ancient stone Circle at castlerigg we're you also get an beautiful views of the surrounding hilltops and valley below. We would certainly recommend this tour as a first taster into the beauty of the lake district,and this particular company for the excellent experience they provide you.
Hello Stephen, Thank you for leaving this great review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day out with Shery and her knowledge has given you a great experience with us. We hope we can welcome you again in the future. Best Wishes, Mountain Goat

Hello Melanie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so happy to hear that Andy gave you an enjoyable and comfortable experience out with us. We hope we can welcome you back again soon. Best Wishes, Mountain Goat
Positive experience: A long and a bit boring tour. There is really only one or two scenic stops. When we stopped for lunch or a snack, the driver only gave us a direction in the town to walk and no recommendations. It seemed the drivers main objective was to get through the day. It was disappointing.
Hello Michael, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We always value all feedback and will take into consideration your review of the tour. Our drivers to like to try and give you free time in the middle of your tours to go and explore but we are sorry to hear that you felt a little rushed. Overall, I hope you got to see the area you visited and enjoy the outstanding scenery that they have. Best Wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: I had the best time with Tim, in the 10 lakes tour! It was my first solo travel and he made the whole experience so informative and incredibly funny, leaving us all with the biggest smiles! He also had me read Wordsworth during the trip for the group, reading Wordsworth in the land of Wordsworth, a memory I will never forget. I hope I come back soon, and do the same tour all over again with Tim, just an amazing human being, and an incredible experience.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful day . My wife and I booked a 10 lakes day tour - 3rd Sept. 2024. Firstly, prior to tour day I rang the Mountain Goat office to ask about parking facilities when meeting the coach as I have mobility issues. I spoke with Rosie who could not have been more helpful, lovely cheerful person who was able to help and put my mind at rest. Come the tour day we had Stef as our driver/tour guide - couldn’t wish for a nicer bloke. Great personality, had a lot of time for all on board and extremely knowledgable about the areas visited. He made our day so enjoyable. Fantastic value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you to all at Mountain Goat for a memorable trip. Mr & Mrs Davis
Hello Bernie Davis, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a delightful review. Our entire team are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with the company from booking with us to the day of the tour with Stef. We always prioritize the experience for our guests and we are delighted to hear this feedback and we hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best Wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Fabulous tours! I did both the 10 Lake tour and the high adventure. Mark S. was amazing with making everyone comfortable, answering questions and an incredible driver taking us up and down those winding roads
Hello M P, Thank you for leaving this review we are so happy to hear that you have had a great experience out with Mark. He always loves to hear how his passengers enjoyed his tour and will appreciate comments like this. We hope to be able to welcome you back for more soon. Best Wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Had an absolute amazing day trip to North Wales in July 2024. The whole day was incredible. Our tour guides Scott and Dave were exceptional. Both with knowledge and putting everyone at ease meeting for the first time. I would absolutely recommend doing this tour. Will definitely go again.
Fantastic experience: Me and my husband had a brilliant day doing the 10 lake tour with our guide Jane. Jane was so knowlegable about the area, and a brilliant driver, we definatly see more of the lake district on this tour than we would have on our own because you go to all the great spots and Jane told us all about them. Can't recommend enough fab day thank you x
Fantastic experience: Today we did the half day beatrix potter tour. Ian our chaufeur and guide was great. He lots of facts and showed us lots of places. Thank you so much for this experiance
Fantastic experience: A very professional and well thought out organisation. Tony, our driver, was knowledgeable and entertaining. He pointed out many of the best places to take photographs. The bus was clean and very luxurious. Would thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We did the full day 10 lakes tour with Mountain Goat Tours! We had a spectacular experience. The van was clean and roomy. Our driver Graham was top-notch, he took the time to learn our names before the start of the tour, this made the tour seem more personable. He was great with my kids. During the tour her was so knowledgable and willing to answer all of our questions. What was appreciated most was how great of a driver Graham was, the narrow roads and hills would have seemed more scary without Graham behind the wheel. Thanks Graham and Mountain Goat Tours for a wonderful experience through the Lake District.
Fantastic experience: Hi, me and my husband we had a joyful and amazing day on the tour Ten Lakes Spectacular with company Mountain Goat Tours.

Fantastic experience: LOVED LOVED LOVED THE TOUR♥️ TIM you were the best tour guide and human being I have come across. This was so beautifully organised and Tim was just such a nice person who remembered every ones names somehow. Lake District is a beautiful place and if you visit you have to have to book this tour. It was worth every penny Again thanks Tim

Hello Donna, Thank you so much for leaving us a review and 5*s, so glad you enjoyed your tour of the Lake District, the cruise and steam train are fantastic so we're glad you liked those parts of the tour. Hopefully you'll join us again, Many thanks Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: We went for the 10 lake spectacular tour. It was very user friendly booking and instructions were emailed to us with reminders. Very prompt with timings. Loved Patrick’s live commentary. He even offered to take pic for us. Patrick was very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Reasonable stops to stretch our feet, washroom breaks, coffee and food. Highly recommend for someone who is not from the country but would like to explore with guided tours.
Hi Jyothi, Thank you so much for your 5* review! what a glowing review as well. We're delighted that you enjoyed your ten lakes tour with Patrick. We appreciate that you would recommend this tour. All the best Mountain Goat

Fantastic experience: This was a perfect way to spend the day and view the 11 lakes. Our guide was Steph and he was fantastic. We had a beautiful sunny day that made the trip that much more special. Despite it being an all day tour, there are plenty of stops to get out and stretch and take in the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this tour if you have the time!
Hi Sherry, Thank you so much for leaving us a review, so glad you had a lovely day with Steff. How fabulous it was sunny! certainly makes all the difference. Thank you for recommending us and hopefully you'll join us again for another tour one day. Many thanks Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Incredible Time with Mark, he was knowledgeable and entertaining as well on top of that punctual ✅
Fantastic experience: We took the Six Lakes half-day tour to give ourselves an introduction to the area. The stops were well-selected and we enjoyed picking up some good facts from Tim's tour guiding. As you cover a lot of ground, a lot of time is necessarily spent inside the mini-bus, but even the views from the bus are spectacular. Our highlights were Castlerigg Stone Circle, Ullswater and The Struggle!
Fantastic experience: We went on the High Adventure Tour in mid-June. Our guide, Mark, was entertaining and knowledgeable. The entire area we visited was beautiful. The pub we stopped at for lunch was delicious. The train ride was a blast. Fortunately weather was on our side. Really a great way to spend a day in the Lake District.
Fantastic experience: We had great experience on our one day trip to Lake District from Manchester. Our tour guide Mr. Scott was very friendly and helpful during the tour. The overall experience was awesome.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service on the phone; excellent experiences on the day; made all my companions happy!
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic tour of the 6 lakes with Cherie. She was an amazing tour guide and the knowledge she has is remarkable. Would highly recommend Thank you
Fantastic experience: Geoff was an excellent driver and guide! It has been a dream of mine to visit Beatrix Potter's home and villages and Mountain Goat tours made the dream come true. I quickly realized that it takes a lot of skill to navigate the charming but very narrow lanes in the Lake District and we were in good hands with Geoff.
Fantastic experience: Incredible 10 lake tour with Tim as our driver
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant 4 hour tour on the 6 Lakes trip. Lisa was excellent as our guide - very knowledgeable. Been going to the Lakes for over 20 years and went to places I had never visited before. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We had a private tour in the Lake District last summer. Shery was professional, friendly and courteous. It was a great day!
Fantastic experience: I did the 10 Lakes tour today with Graham (early June 2024). It was brilliant! I learned so much and Graham was warm, knowledgeable and funny! He managed to tell us loads but also not be intrusive on our enjoyment of the tour (some tour guides can be overbearing). He was easy to chat to and ask questions of; a great driver - I never felt scared on the narrow windy roads. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day… and we were really lucky to have a sunny-ish day and no rain after 9.30am. I think that made all the difference to the general mood of our group too! I’d highly recommend anyone visiting the area does this tour as a great introduction to a vast area to then explore afterwards (if you have the time!). I feel it’s reasonably priced too for essentially a whole day 9am to 5pm.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience, Tim was a perfect host and knowledgeable driver and guide. Will be taking more tours with Mountain Goat.
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your review, so glad you enjoyed your tour with Tim and we'll look forward to seeing you out with us again in the future. Many thanks Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say what a fantastic day we had. The high adventure trip was amazing - the views were magnificent. Gordon was a brilliant guide - made the day special for myself and my family.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the 10 lakes spectacular tour, it definitely lived up to its name and was a truly wonderful day. We were picked up by Peter Fox, who was an excellent tour guide throughout the day with such great & interesting facts about the lake district. His driving was impeccable despite some of the slightly off the beaten track roads & tight spaces. We were taken to all the must see spots around the lake district & there were plenty of breaks & stops in-between, which didn’t make it feel like too much of a long drive at any point. I won’t reveal too much about the actual day but there are some truly amazing places which we weren’t aware of but would act as a good introduction if you wanted an idea of where to go back to or stay.
Fantastic experience: Excellent tour with Tim yesterday of the best-of- the Lake District and a lot more.. a wonderful day of nothing but stunning locales, scenery and just the choice tidbits of the history and traditions of Cumbria and its heritage to make this an immersive Lake experience. Nice feature of Mountain Goat tours and their guide-drivers is you are always off the motorways and the entire tours are via secondary and scenic paths you would take if you were driving..except you do not have to drive. Particularly appreciated Tim sharing just the information that added to gaining the sense of the place and its unique history..and avoiding the drone of data thats wiki/web/siri/chat gpt factoids..made this a thoroughly enjoyable and educational excursion with a lot of quiet time as well to just take in the scenery and chill. The thoughtful attention that Tim paid to highlighting the Lake/Cumbria experience for everyone and his personality and disposition towards each and every one on the tour made it such an enjoyable day. Second tour with Mountain Goat and recommend.. Tim and their other guide-drivers make all the difference..
Fantastic experience: An excellent day trip with the Mountain Goat Lake District Tours! Worth every penny. Our tour guide, Tim was a very knowledgeable, witty and funny guy who kept us entertained throughout with lots of information regarding the 10 lakes we visited. We were given a decent amount of time to look around, take pictures and take it all in! Will recommend this company especially Tim as your Mountain Goat tour guide!
Fantastic experience: We enjoyed the 10 lakes tour on our trip to the Lakes District. Tim was our guide for the day and it could not have gone any better than it did. His insight on the area’s history coupled with the incredible views was well worth the time. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the rich culture and history of the area.
Fantastic experience: Great trip to the Lake District with a lovely guide, amazing views, information on local history and cute villages.
Fantastic experience: The full day 10 lakes tour was spectacular. May 2024. Tim was a fabulous guide and incredible driver. These roads are narrow and often one way, Tim’s driving was both professional and courteous. We learnt so much how places got their names, the history of the lakes district and were shown some truly stunning vistas. Thanks Tim for a fabulous and thorough introduction it the lakes district.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic day out to the Yorkshire Dales with Mountain Goat Tours on 15 May. Our driver, Trevor was very knowledgeable about the many different places we visited and he was extremely polite and friendly. It was a full day trip and extremely good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Booked private hire mini busses. Everything went well, the drivers were prompt and helpful ensuring a good night was had by all and we were returned safe and well.

Fantastic experience: We had Caroline and she was so lovely and so knowledgeable. She would slow down so we could see the places she was speaking about which was also nice. I felt safe with her driving also, some of those roads were quite small and looked tricky but I felt safe throughout. The tour was great. We didn't have the best weather but we made the most of it. Highly recommend
Hi Alisha, Thank you for the review! so glad you felt safe with Caroline and enjoyed your experience with us. All the best Mountain Goat

Fantastic experience: Today we had the immense pleasure of the Ten Lakes tour from Windermere. Right from the moment Tim picked us up he was so clearly an enthusiast for the Lakes district and equally passionate about his role in showing it off to his busload of visitors. Tim was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. His commentary was relaxed and even conversational. Well done Tim. We all enjoyed spending a day with you. Rob and Janice

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! So glad you enjoyed your day with Tim on the Ten Lakes Tour. Hopefully see you on another tour in the future. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: I took The Ten Lake (Disctrict) Spectacular tour with my wife and two sons. It was indeed spactacular, enjoyable, comfortable and safe. I would strongly recommend to do this tour (first) as it takes you and introduces you to ten different areas in The Lake District. This gives you the opportunity to enjoy the areas in one day, but more so ability to chose your own favourtie area and hence plan your next visit/site/area in your own car. The bus was comfortable and the driver (Gordon) was very professional, friendly, good narrater and story-teller and accommodating; even took our pictures. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it.
Hello Raza, Thank you for leaving a review! Delighted to hear you enjoyed your Ten Lakes Spectacular Tour with Gordon. We appreciate you taking the time to leave the review. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: We were a group of six-- a ten year old, with her parents and grandparents... And each one enjoyed the experience. It was indeed fulfilling, fascinating and educative, thanks to our Guide Dave, who was not only well versed with the region but also with the literary laureats! We were truly impressed by his wide knowledge and wit. We encaptured breathtaking views in our cameras and memories to cherish forever!
Hi Prabha, Thank you for leaving the review! So glad to hear your whole family enjoyed their experience with us and that you enjoyed your time with Dave, we'll pass on your comments. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful day today, even though it got a bit wet at the end. This tour was fantastic and our driver Tony was knowledgeable, funny and above all a very safe and courteous driver.
Hello Wayne, Thank you for the review! Glad you enjoyed your day with Tony. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Derek our driver navigated the tricky roads up to and around Buttermere and the slate mines brilliantly. He was a mind of information on the history and geology of the lakes.
Hi Gillian, Thank you for the 5* and lovely review, we'll pass that on to Derek. All the best Mountain Goat

Fantastic experience: We did that the 10 lake tour with Mountain goat tours today, and had a fantastic experience, Tim our tour guide was fabulous. He ensured that we had a great time all along giving us the history of the different places that he drove us to. In addition, he also is a fantastic photographer and volunteered to take pictures for everyone. His enthusiasm was infectious and all in all he made the trip a memorable one for us. Full marks to Tim and Mountain Goat tours.
Hi Arvind Thank you for your review so glad to hear you had a great experience with us on our Ten Lakes Tour! Thanks for the glowing review for us and Tim! Hopefully see you again soon. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Used the 10 lakes tour 3 times over the years. If you make sure the weather is good, the tour will be a lot of fun. The details the guide shared were very interesting and lake district is extremely beautiful. A must do in the area
Hi Amit, Thank you for the 5* review and for your repeated custom! we're always happy to have people return to us. We'll hopefully see you again. All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful tour of ten lakes in The Lake District. Duncan, our tour guide was very knowledgeable on topics from the geography and topography to the culture and history of the amazing landscape. He had a great sense of humour whilst explaining facts of the area.
Hi Mehal, Thank you for the review! Glad to hear you had a great time with Duncan. All the best Mountain Goat
Negative experience: A guide from this organisation told his guests that it was OK to climb on a 4,500 year old standing stone circle in pursuit of photos, etc. They did so, defending their actions with “well, I’m sure our guide knows best”. Deeply uncool in all regards. Avoid
Hi Nick, I am sorry to hear you thought our driver-guide was encouraging visitors to stand on the stones at Castlerigg Stone Circle and this warranted a 1* review. We will discuss this with our team and ensure this is not the message past onto visitors. Best wishes, Mountain Goat Tours
Fantastic experience: The perfect way to see the best of the Lake District. Derick our driver was informative, amusing and a competent driver along some very tricky roads. We were part of a coach holiday to the lakes. Switching to the smaller mountain goat vehicles was ideal as some of our group had mobility issues, this was the perfect way to really experience, and be immersed in the beauty of the area. It was the highlight of the trip.
Hi Paula! Thank you for leaving us a 5* review! we really appreciate it. Really glad you enjoyed your experience with us. All the best Mountain Goat
Negative experience: Booked the western lakes (Lake District) full day tour via Get Your Guide. Received confirmation email from both Get Your Guide AND Mountain Goat Tours. Turned up at meeting point for 9.20 am and no bus. Eventually got through on the telephone at 9.30 (that took several attempts too!) to find that there wasn’t a tour that day. Please note… it hadn’t been cancelled due to bad weather or anything. They didn’t do a tour that day so apparently it was a booking error. As you can imagine, tours get booked up way in advance and it was our last full day there so we missed out completely. What really annoyed me though was that I spoke to a lady and she said she would call her manager to find out what was going on and then she called me back to apologise and explain. I feel the manager should have realised - it was hardly fair that she had to deal with my annoyance. So if you book with them, I would advise calling to confirm it’s going ahead in advance
Hi Steff, As explained on the telephone and email, we apologise for the issue you experienced on this occasion. Unfortunately, this was due to an error between our booking system and Get your Guide, the third-party agent that you booked with. We would always encourage customers to book with us directly and speak to our helpful and professional team in our local office. We are sorry a manager did not call you back to explain the situation in more detail. If you are visiting the Lake District again, we would encourage you to contact our office and we will arrange a complimentary tour. Best wishes, Mountain Goat Tours
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.Amazing experience and had a great opportunity to see the breath taking view of Windermere.Tom, tour guide and driver, very knowledgeable about the history of Lancashire and Cumbria!!
Hi Neeta, Thank you for the 5* and lovely review, so glad to hear you had a great day with Tom and enjoyed seeing the beautiful Lake District! All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: My sister and I took the Lake District tour and had a fantastic time. The scenery was breathtaking and the small village and castle we explored on foot were beautiful. Our driver Tom provided historical facts and funny stories that made for a wonderful day. His kindness, patience and driving skills were also appreciated.
Hi Sue, Thanks for your 5* review we always appreciate our customers taking the time to do this. Delighted to hear you and your sister had a fantastic time with us and that Tom looked after you. All the best Mountain Goat
Negative experience: Most pathetic tour today with Mountain Goat toda of the great lakes. Completely uninterested driver and tour guide, Tony. Just interested in completing the tour. Will avoid Mountain goat
Hi Chandresh, I am disappointed to read your review. All our driver-guides are knowledgeable and passionate about the Lake District, I am sorry to hear you thought our driver-guide was disinterested. Although you are not specific about your dissatisfaction beyond this. We would encourage any customers, that are not happy with our tour to contact our office directly to rectify the issue offline. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: We used Mountain Goat Tours for a Stag Do trip earlier this month and they were fantastic. Excellent communication beforehand including sending the mobile number for the bus driver so we could communicate any queries before pick up. Regarding the actual trips, Both the outward and return journeys were on time and very comfortable - the air on was a godsend. Both drivers were extremely friendly and accommodating for any stops we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone
Hi Patrick, Thank you for your review! we're delighted to hear you had a positive experience with us and that our drivers were accommodating! We hope you enjoyed the stag do! All the best Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: 10/10 rating for my fav guide of all times - Tim! Absolutely loved the day ♥️
Hi Atmika, Thank you for your glowing review, I am pleased to hear you had a wonderful day with our driver-guide Tim! Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: Lisa on our High Adventure tour was a knowledgeable, humorous and helpful guide. Gave us a good idea of what to explore on our own in future. Enjoyable trip.
Thank you for your 5* review. It's great to hear you enjoyed our High Adventure tour with Lisa. Your photos look fantastic and I hope you enjoyed the brilliant Bird of Prey Show at Muncaster Castle. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: I just had the best trip today, would recommend to everyone ❤️! The lady arrived on time, she was really lovely and knowledgeable! We had many stops to take photos, walk around or have lunch and came back on time!
Hi Martyna, Thank you for leaving us a 5* review, I am delighted to hear you had the best trip. Your photos look wonderful and I hope you enjoyed the delicious Grasmere Gingerbread too! Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Fantastic experience: We did the 10 Lakes tour, a full day, and it was worth every penny. I was absolutely amazed at the amount we got to see throughout the day, and even more amazed with the amount of knowledge our tour guide/driver, Mark, had (not to mention the skill he showed along the tiny roads!) It was quite honestly one of the best things I've ever done visiting the lake district, and it allowed us to reach places we could never have got to ourselves (transport and mobility issues) It made the whole of the lake district super accessible, and Mark never rushed anyone getting on and off the coach, yet we still managed a jam packed day! We can certainly say we'll be booking on one of the other tours on our next trip here.
Hi Naomi, What a fantastic review - thank you! It's great to hear you had such as great day with our driver-guide Mark & managed to explore places in the Lakes you wouldn't have visited otherwise. We hope to see you again on a tour very soon. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
