Top Windermere Sightseeing Passes

As a coach driver, three times I have had a group go out with Mountain Goat and each time was faultless. Excellent, knowledgeable drivers, in clean, new, minibuses. Tony and Elliott this week cannot be recommended enough. Tours are not cheap but worth every penny.

Best tour ever with our tour guide and driver Steve. Great day spent with really relaxed atmosphere and nice people. We went to the best photo spots and Steve was full of great facts and information throughout our journey. Having someone who was truly passionate about the region as well as being an excellent driver was fabulous. The longest stop was Muncaster Castle, where we arrived in time for lunch and the bird of prey show, followed by axe throwing and a walk around the castle, all included in the price. Thank you for a wonderful day.

We had an excellent day absolutely lovely views Tony was our guide he was very polite and friendly he went above and beyond. pointing out places of interest and very informative about the history which made our tour, I would definitely be back doing more tours in the future 😀

What an incredible experience! This tour exceeded every expectation we had and ended up being one of the highlights of my trip, it was an incredible way for my partner and I to celebrate our 9 year anniversary!The scenery throughout the route was absolutely breathtaking, with countless opportunities to stop and take photos of the beautiful Lake District.A huge part of what made the experience so memorable was our guide, Steve. His passion for the Lake District was obvious from the very beginning, and his knowledge of the area’s history, landscapes, and local people was incredible. He was friendly, approachable, helpful, and genuinely trustworthy, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic day.The activities when we got to the castle were brilliant too, we had a great time with the archery and axe throwing, which added something a little different to the experience. Lunch was excellent, with very generous portions and a hot drink included, which was a lovely touch.As well as enjoying the stunning scenery, I came away having learned so much about the history of the Lake District and the people who have shaped it over the years. It was informative, fun, and incredibly well organised from start to finish.I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re visiting the Lake District, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss!

An excellent value trip with a very good guide in a good quality mini-bus

We had a great trip with Mark H who was very friendly, informative and a skilled driver! The views were spectacular and the day was planned out perfectly so that we could enjoy the afternoon events at Muncaster. Mark had a lot of amazing knowledge about the Lake District's history and was engaging throughout. He also navigated the Hardknott and Wrynose passes very well. Thanks to Mark for an amazing day!

Best tour we’ve been on in Uk and we’ve been on lots of them over the years. I would highly recommend this company

Highly recommend for a relaxing day out experiencing the high passes (without having to drive the narrow road yourself). Really got to see Lakes beauty, diversity and key locations and the visit to Muncaster castle was interesting. Andy our driver was wonderful.

An incredible tour packed with fascinating facts about the Lake District, that even as a local, I learned things I’d never heard before! The drive offers breathtaking scenery, including a visit to Manchester castle. The driver I had, Derek, was friendly and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone, young or old, with a love of history and beautiful landscapes!

Amazing high adventure tour day with Mark P, tour from Windermere through the passes and muncaster castle. Thank you for a fantastic day, would totally recommend.

A wonderful trip with Tony. a first rate driver and guide. Superb scenery, accompanied by his gentle, witty and yet unobtrusive commentary. We would have liked more time to enjoy the high passes, for example the Roman ruins, and then perhaps linked up with Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway for a run, re joining the coach further along. Muncaster Castle needed a lot more time to really enjoy as an attraction in its own right.

Tour host was the highlight. He was friendly, funny and very informative. he was also a superb driver, negotiating the winding roads of the Lakes with ease. The scenery was spectacular as was the visit Muncaster Castle. The lunch provided was excellent, more food than we could eat. Muncaster was interesting, we participated in the ax throwing and archery, first time for both of us. The amount of time spent at each location was perfect and the small tour group made the journey a lot more pleasant. I highly recommend this tour guide and this tour for single folks and couples of all ages.

Today our driver and guide Andy provided us with a fabulous experience. His knowledge of the local and regional area was fantastic. Andy made us all feel Very comfortable and engaged with everyone on the bus. He went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t miss a thing and he mastered the drive that would have had the most seasoned of drivers a little tense at times. Thanks for a brilliant day Andy. If you are looking for a great day trip, don’t hesitate to book this tour with Andy from Mountain Goat.

Booked it as a surprise for hubby for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and he couldn't have been more pleased with the day. The scenery is fantastic with stops not only just for comfort breaks but to stop view and photograph it. Muncaster Castle had everything you could need from Castle viewing, Axe throwing and Birds of prey to see flying. Our driver Tony was brilliant. He made you feel comfortable from the start. His commentary was informative and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better driver. Tony's driving skills were impeccable.

We enjoyed this trip. Driver Tony was a great driver through all the narrow and twisty roads. He gave us an interesting commentary throughout the trip giving information about the history and geography of the Lake District. We were able to have plenty of stops to get out and stretch our legs and take photos, attending 2 cafes for a drink and toilet stops. We also had a good lunch break (just over 2 hours) at Muncaster castle, 45 mins having lunch in the cafe (which is included in the price of the day), watching the birds of prey display (the best one I have ever seen), a look round the castle, and a trip to the gift shop. We saw a few of the Lakes and drove back along the coast for some of the way. Everything was very well planned. Highly recommend!

I really recommend this tour. Duncan was a very knowledgeable guide and excellent driver. Don't drive yourself on these narrow roads. There's lots of traffic and the roads are very steep. Take this tour instead, no stress and enjoy the landscapes.
