La excursión al Distrito de los Lagos desde Londres

We had a wonderful tour of the lake district of Northern England with our driver and guide Rob. Go tours ran the trip even though only four of us were on the bus. Rob, the driver was like one of us and we had great time altogether. He was knowledgeable about the places we went to, and many other aspects of English culture.The admissions prices of different locations were not included, but we were given a choice to stay longer if we wanted to go on a location tour, such as a castle, or go on and spend longer in the next destination. That worked out really well. Rob took us to local places for rest stops instead of going to fast food type rest stops.. The minibus bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. The accommodations were at small hotel/bed-and-breakfast places that were very friendly, helpful and had great food. The only downside was we went during a heat wave and the rooms generally do not have air-conditioning and the hotels we stayed at do not have elevators. It was not a problem for us, but may be for some people.

We had a wonderful time on this 5-day tour. With a smaller bus we were able to drive on some of the country roads through many small villages. It was great to experience the history of the area and visit many historic sites along the way. Our driver also shared some of the history of the places we visited during the drive. However, the cost of the tour doesn't include the cost of admission to many of the historic sites that we visited. I would recommend this tour for couples who enjoy a smaller group size.

Very reasonable fees for a most entrancing and wonderful tour of the Dells and Lake Country as well as visiting some great sights and the spectacular Minster in York. The transport van is comfortable the driver super-thoughtful and helpful and group size allows for a really great interaction. Given the size of the vehicle we were able to visit many places others could not, and it packs a whole lot of sights and experiences into a 5 day tour. A most memorable experience indeed.
Accommodations were very nice and included breakfast was a treat, this company goes above and beyond to make your trip comfortable and fun.

I have only positive things to say about our tour! Len, our driver, was so skilled at navigating the narrow roads, and he provided us with a great deal of useful, interesting information about the areas, the history, etc. He was so cheerful and helpful, which made the trip very pleasant for all of us. Our hotel accommodations were outstanding, and our daily stops were wonderful. I think it would be nice if your company added Grassington to this tour, though, since that is where All Creatures Great and Small is filmed; that would be more topical and interesting than seeing where the much older show was filmed. We especially enjoyed the little stops on the way to walk a little, get a piece of fresh gingerbread, find the toilets, appreciate the beautiful scenery, etc. Such a wonderful trip that definitely lived up to our expectations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to York and the Lake District. We visited Lincoln and Cambridge on the way to the Lake District and Hardwick Hall and Stratford-on-Avon on the return. Our driver/guide, Len, was knowledgeable about the area and kept us entertained with stories of the history of England

The Lakes District and York. I took this 5 day tour the week after completing the Go UK Cornwall tour (see review). I travelled from Australia to spend three weeks in the Uk. I loved both tours. I can't fault them for places visited and all other arrangements. For me, it was the perfect balance of great places that were organised and my own free time to explore. The Lakes District is so scenic and continuallv changes from stark valleys to stonewall, treed fields. The lakes (or meres ) border the journey throughout, as you visit the places Beatrix Potter and also William Wordsworth lived. There was time to explore picturesque Windermere and also the historic city of York at our leisure and other towns on the journey. The BnB's were very comfortable and close enough to walk into town quite easily. As a solo traveller, this was important for me to be able to walk and explore. The journey also included time in Cambridge as well as Stratford on Avon. I Ioved my days in the Lakes District. Len was a great tour driver - very accommodating and informative. I especially loved travelling on many of the quieter, smaller backroads of this beautiful area. I can highly recommend this tour also. Thank you, Go UK Tours.

Go tours offered a comprehensive itinerary for York and the Lake District with numerous stops along the way. Highlights included the cathedrals of Lincoln and York Minster as well as various stately homes along with a picturesque countryside. Len, our driver guide was very well versed on history and attentive to the interests and needs of the group. As well he made adjustments to the itinerary based on the interests of the group. That being said, once dropped off at the various locations Go Tours leaves individuals to explore on their own and there is no guiding at individual sites. Thus, it is important to have a guide book and to have done some research on one’s own to gain additional insights of sites such as Hardwick House and York Minster. Also, be aware that entry fees are considerable, between 17 and 20 pounds.

The Lake District tour was well planned and the hotels we stayed in were very nice. Our guide was a lovely man who shared his interest in history with us. A list of restaurants in the towns where we stayed would have been helpful.

What a fantastic tour of the Lake District, with a fantastic guide. From London to York to Lake Windermere and beyond, our guide Len kept us entertained with history, geography and linguistic lessons and perhaps a tall tale or two, all the while ferrying us safely through the narrow lanes of the English countryside. The stops gave us enough time for a good look around and there was no sense of being herded like the thousands of sheep we saw. I was impressed with the quality of our hotels, above what I expected for such a tour. Our travelling companions from all over the world added to the enjoyment of the trip. Many thanks to Len and to John for making a last minute change to our itinerary. I would book again with Go Tours, they provide exceptional customer service.Cheers!Renée and John

A wonderful tour of the Lake District. Our driver, Len, was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about English history. A magnificent experience.

Traveling on the 5 day London to Lake District was an absolute delight, exploring English towns & countryside under the expert supervision of Len, whose charm was appreciated by all. From Cambridge to Lincoln to York to Windermere and Stratford upon Avon, we were enchanted by the various locales & local culture. Hotels we stayed at along the way were impressive, the group became quite close, and Len proved to be the perfect combination of consummate professional & genuine friend. This was our first multi-day bus tour and we are already planning to visit Cornwall next summer with Go Tours, hoping we can be fortunate enough to have Len orchestrate the journey.

Great driver but short on guiding. Left us on our own with the minimum of information. No maps, no advice about lunch and put us out in Lincoln in a driving rain storm.

Lots to see but only 90 minutes on average per stop to see it. Minimum 6 hours a day riding.

All the sites were wonderful. Especially York and the Lake District.

Our B and B in Windermere only served cold breakfast I don’t think you should use them again. The owners wife is not well.

Len came to our rescue and got us breakfast in the other B & B. We really like him but the tour needs to provide more professional support

My husband and I enjoyed our tour. Guide and Driver, Rob, was friendly and gave us lots of tips and stopped at his secret spots. Accommodations were nice and comfortable. The Lake District is worth the trip, and we liked leaving the driving to Rob.

Our second multi day tour with Go Tours, and again just a perfect way to travel. Our guide Len couldn’t have been any more informative, competent, and FUN! Many interesting and memorable stops , and great accommodations. We chose the hotel stays , our other travelers chose the B+ B+B’s.
You won’t be disappointed!

Great, relaxed, well organised tour. Accommodation was good and catered well for dietary requirements. Our driver, Rob, was fantastic. Very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent five day tour of north England in a small group (15 max) with great driver/guide. (Our second outing with this company). Good balance of visits to sites and driving. And smaller vehicle than a tour bus permitted us to go along on smaller, quainter roads. A definite plus. Would highly recommend them!
Driver Len kept us well informed while exploring the countryside. His affable & kind personality made the trip extra special.

Our 5-day tour to York and the Lake District lived up to our expectations. The bus was comfortable for the 12 of us on the tour. Len, our guide and driver went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and special requests. We opted to stay over night in BNB’s and both were very good and located in convenient locations close to restaurants and various sights. Go Tours promotes the fact that their mini-buses go on routes that the bigger coach buses can not manage. This was certainly true on this tour as we meandered through the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. We look forward to joining another Go Tour next time we are in England.

The tour was fantastic as was our guide, Rob. The towns and scenery were beautiful. Recommend this trip for anyone. It was easy going and relaxing.

Just back from a fantastic trip - York and the Lake District - only 10 passengers so lots of room on the mini-bus. Several nationalities and ages and the group melded well. We did have the obligatory person who was usually late back and was generally annoying and entitled but the rest of us were very tolerant and didn't let it spoil the trip. Our driver guide, Len, was excellent, both as a driver and a guide. He was helpful, caring and informative without an overload of information. The itinerary and hotel accommodation were excellent and the Kensington meeting/drop-off point a good choice. I would recommend this tour to anyone and am already looking to see what other tours I could do in future.
