★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,717 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $76Our pick

A small-group full-day mini-coach tour from Windermere packing Lake District highlights, stone circles, and villages with guided commentary.

“Absolutely worth every penny, saw places we wouldn't have seen on our own and the information our driver gave us was fantastic. We got some great photo opportunities at places we stopped off at and even time for lunch in Keswick. I say this trip is a must if you come to the lakes. We had lots of laughs throughout the day and met some lovely people on our coach. Will definitely be coming back and doing more tours with them.”

Beatrix Potter half-day tour from Windermere with Lake Windermere cruise, Hill Top, Hawkshead and Tarn Hows in a small group.

“This tour is heavily focused on Beatrix Potter. There is a ferry ride included and a personal bus driver with a small group which is great. You visit a church/castle however you cannot go into it and you can walk around only, personally felt this was a bit of a waste of time. You then go to Hilltop to visit the house of Beatrix which was really lovely to see. If you have a car you could do this yourself.”
