The coach driver was a local man and very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. A very pleasant day.

Derek this one's for you! Brilliant trip on the Goat yesterday. Our driver Derek took us to things I would never have found myself and on roads I would never choose to drive. The bus was comfortable, the experience fantastic. We had dithered over whether to book but would not hesitate to recommend heartily to fellow travellers. Derek's knowledge of... More

As part of our stay in the lakes, we wanted to visit Wastwater. We took some good advice from posts on Trip Advisor on the best ways to get there. After looking at our options we chose to go with Mountain Goat and signed up for their full day tour and being driven through the various passes up to the... More

the coach trip with whom I travelled had booked us onto a mountain goat tour and it was a totally amazing day out along narrow roads and up over the mountain passes with lots of photo stops. We left the hotel at 9am and got back at 6pm and what I really liked is that, unlike a coach trip, you... More

The Lake District has been on my bucket list for many years. I'm finally here, and Mountain Goat tours has helped make the first few days some that I will never forget. I'm a walker, but my husband is not, so we chose the mini-bus tour option. We took a half day tour of Beatrix Potter's home and environs and... More

We took 2 trips : the High tour and the 10 Lakes spectacular. Derek and Tony the guides really looked after us and were always friendly and helpful to all on the bus. It is a great way to get around if you have limited mobility ( my husband was on crutches ). They drive you expertly along those narrow... More

Tony came to the hotel and picked us up at 09:30, we had others on our tour and the bus was full. Have to say... More

These guys were subcontracted by Evan and Evans tours to conduct the Beatrix Potter tour. They were brilliant and I can't recommend Mountain Goat tours highly enough. The mini bus was modern and comfy and Tony, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, personable, and a very safe driver. We had a really lovely day. Rcommended.
