We did the mountain passes tour which included muncaster castle and the infamous hardknott and wrynose passes. Tony the driver was extremely informative and friendly. We went to the Falconry and Owl show which was excellent and had lunch which was really nice. This is a demanding and challenging route but at no stage did we feel unsafe and Tony handled the bus with expertise. Would thoroughly recommend

Thank you Martin for your kind review! Our drivers are the heart of Mountain Goat so we're glad Tony's driving expertise and knowledge allowed yourself to experience the mountain passes with ease and enjoyment from the comfort of our buses! Thank you for choosing Mountain Goat to Go Explore and we hope to welcome you again in the near future.

This was the 2nd Mountain Goat tour I did in 3 days, again this tour was very good and allowed me to get to remote and stunning parts of the Lake District that I could not have got to otherwise. The scenery was lovely and the tour covered a very large area. The Tour guide Tony was very good, he gave us lots of interesting information about the area and we all felt totally confident with his driving around some very narrow, steep and winding mountain roads which were spectacular.

Thank you Alan for your kind words, it's great to hear you had an excellent tour with ourselves and your driver guide Tony, he certainly is very experienced driving around the narrow mountain passes!

Viva la GOAT.
Yvonne liked her tour very much.
Driver was very helpful, assisting with her disability stroller and providing a very fine commentary 👌.
Yvonne feels that she could easily have made use of more time at Muncaster Castle, but coped . Driver
Dropped her off at her Camp site which saved her either a bus from windermere or a walk from the pier.
However, Yvonne is coeliac and specifically booked gluten free, this was NOT forthcoming .

Thank you John for your kind words and review. We are glad to hear that Yvonne enjoyed her day with ourselves, which was highly factored by the knowledge and experience of our driver guide! We can only apologise that the gluten free request was lost in translation with ourselves and Muncaster castle, which we will investigate further so the situation doesn't happen again. Thank you for choosing ourselves to Go Explore. Best wishes, Mountain Goat

Thank you Carol for your kind words, it's great to hear you had an excellent tour with ourselves, especially regarding our knowledgeable experienced driver guides. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Peter was wonderful!
It was my mistake that I thought this tour included a visit to Hill Top. Sadly, I was not the only customer on board who also thought it did.
The "World of Beatrix Potter" was extremely dispointing.
The tour did not dispoint. Peter was a joy! Peter's knowledge and love for the Lake District was more than evident and appreciated. The beauty and grandeur of the Lake District were beyond what we expected. I learned so much that it made me wish we had more time to explore the Lake District. Thank you, Peter for a wonderful afternoon!

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re sorry to hear there was some confusion regarding the itinerary and the inclusion of Hill Top. We do try to make the tour inclusions as clear as possible in our descriptions, but we appreciate your feedback and understand how this may have caused disappointment. We’re also sorry to hear that the World of Beatrix Potter attraction did not meet your expectations.
That said, we’re delighted to hear that you still enjoyed the tour overall and that Peter helped make the experience such a memorable one. His passion, knowledge, and love for the Lake District truly shine through, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind comments to him.
It’s wonderful to hear that the beauty of the Lake District exceeded your expectations and inspired you to want to explore more of the area. Thank you again for travelling with us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Worth every penny!
The wit and wisdom of our tour guide, Tim, was brilliant - as was his driving in some tight and hair-raising situations - and the Lakeland scenery was fantastic.
This was a last minute choice for 'a day out' and it was worth every penny.

Excellent tour
Excellent tour, very good value for money too. Ben A was a great driver and tour guide, very informative, funny and took good care of us all. Would highly recommend if you only have a day/a short time to explore the Yorkshire Dales. Bolton Castle was the highlight for me in a day of multiple highlights!

Tony provided just the right amount of commentary to make the journey interesting and we were glad to leave all the challenging driving to him.

mountain passes brilliant
We did the mountain passes with our driver Andy
What can I say 10/10 from pick up to drop off Andy was full of great information and made the day brilliant
We wish we was staying in the Lake District longer as we would definitely have booked another trip with them
Also the food at the castle was lovely and the bird show is a must
Thanks for a great day Andy

We absolutely loved reading your review - thank you. It’s fantastic to hear that Andy made your Mountain Passes tour such a brilliant day from start to finish. He’ll be delighted to know his commentary and local knowledge helped make the experience a 10/10 for you both!
We’re also so pleased you enjoyed the castle visit, the food, and of course the bird show — it really is a highlight of the day.
It’s a shame you couldn’t stay longer, but we’d love to welcome you back to the Lake District again in the future.

The bird display at Bolton Castle is always a memorable experience, so it’s lovely to hear it was one of your highlights too! And we’ll definitely let John know that his “weather-control powers” didn’t go unnoticed — we’re very glad he managed to arrange such a beautiful day for your visit!

Absolutely worth it
The route itself was absolutely spectacular, but Tim truly made our day. Not only did he share so much knowledge about the area, but he also kept us laughing for almost 8 hours straight. We came home with huge smiles on our faces, and this is definitely a tour we won’t forget. Thank you, Tim!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular scenery, and even more delighted that Tim helped make the day so memorable for you.
A great mix of local knowledge, humour, and good company can really make a tour special, and it sounds like Tim delivered all three in style! Hearing that you went home smiling after eight hours of laughter is exactly what we hope for.
We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Tim — they’ll mean a lot to him.
