  • 5Fabulous Tour with Simon!

    We had a fantastic trip with Simon! He’s very personable, customer oriented, and his stories and sense of humor were delightful. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and history. Simon contacted me ahead of time to check our preferences and ensured we saw the highlights of the area. One of my family members was not feeling well and he kept checking to see if she needed anything. He made as many stops as needed for breaks, photo opportunities, and to ensure I got the best scone in the Lake District. We all definitely recommend him, he lives up to his excellent reputation. We found a new friend in England and will seek him out for another tour on our next trip.

  • 5Excellent Day!

    We had the most wonderful day with Simon. His knowledge of the area and history is amazing, and his enthusiasm is contagious! We saw places that we would never have known about otherwise, and the views were breathtaking. Simon also kindly took photographs and promptly sent them to us with captions reminding us of where each was taken. We would highly recommend any tour with Simon!

  • 5Fantastic half-day tour!

    What a great half day tour of the Lake District! It was our v first visit to the area and Simon was a fantastic guide showing us the key sites. We found him v friendly, articulate and knowledgeable about the area. Our party of 6 included my elderly parents who also found Simon highly considerate particularly helping them into and out of the MPV each time there was a stop, which was much appreciated. My father really appreciated Simon’s effort to stop by the famous poet Wordsworth’s home in Grasmere as it was a particular wish of his. In summary, we couldn’t have been happier with the tour and would definitely recommend Simon very highly to anyone wishing to have a private guided tour of this beautiful area.

  • 5Stunning it is

    The quality of the tour exceeded our expectations. Simon arrived 10:00 AM sharp to pick us up at our hotel driving a comfortable van with AC, snacks and water. Clear accent (we, non native speakers, had absolutely no trouble understanding the narrative), intimate knowledge of the Lake District, attentive and friendly attitude constituted the wonderful overall experience despite a rainy-windy weather. Tour locations offer breathtaking views and a glimpse at a somewhat secluded lifestyle of Lake District's villages. The tour itself and meeting Simon were a perfect way to start learning about the district.

About Windermere

Windermere is England's largest natural lake and the Lake District town beside it, with lake steamers, high fells and literary homes close by.

Windermere is the largest natural lake in England, about seventeen kilometres long, its shores wooded and dotted with islands. The town of Windermere stands a little inland, and Bowness-on-Windermere on the water is the hub of boat life, with steamers and launches sailing to Ambleside at the head of the lake. A museum on the shore shows the lake's historic steam launches.
