Beatrix Potter and lake Windermere Cruise

Published on Mar, 2025

Amazing day with a great tour guide Peter Fox-breath taking views, lovely cream tea to finish the day. Picked up and dropped at railway station

Peter's Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Peter provided an exquisite touring experience. He delivered narratives about the sights and the towns which were loaded with thoughtful detail and a depth of knowledge which can only be informed by living in the Lakes District. It was magical and a once in a lifetime experience. I'll never forget it.

Beatrix Potter tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The boat trip across Windermere gave us some great views of the surrounding area. Hill top farm was fascinating and the house is just as Beatrix Potter left it. We had tour guide Tim, who was informative and great fun. Lots of interesting facts and fabulous scenary along the way. I highly recommend it this trip.

A lovely way to spend the day

Published on Nov, 2024

Enjoyed our guide, who gave us just enough info and history to make the story come alive, but not too much that we didn’t have some quiet time to think and talk to each other. The day was well organized, and was a lovely way to see more of this incredible area of the world.
