5A lovely day out and some memories for my dad
We were visiting England for my dad’s 75th birthday and before he left England in the 1970’s he spent alot of time in the Lake District as a child. He wanted to go back to visit but didn’t know where to start. This tour was a lovely glimpse into the beauty of the area without the stress of driving. David was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable, kept the day moving smoothly and even enjoyed some fun football banter with my dad. We had a great time overall and we highly recommend it!

Our guide, Paul, knows everything about the area with here and there a joke. Recommend him strongly! It’s a lot of time in the car, but with the views you have it is definitely worth the drive!

About Manchester
Manchester, the former cotton capital of north-west England, is a city of red-brick mills, canals, football, music and big museums.
Manchester grew in the nineteenth century as the centre of the cotton trade, and the warehouses, mills and canals of that age still shape the city. The Gothic Revival Town Hall by Alfred Waterhouse dominates Albert Square, the John Rylands Library holds a Victorian reading hall of carved stone and stained glass, and Castlefield has a Roman fort beside the canal basin. The Science and Industry Museum stands at the oldest surviving passenger railway station in the world.
Top-ranked sights in Manchester: Etihad Stadium (City of Manchester Stadium), Manchester Cathedral, Manchester Central Library.
