The high mountain adventure was exiciting. Though the weather was not very good, the scenery was great! And the introduction by the tour guide Tony (I am not sure if I have mistaken his name) was comprehensive. This gave me a sight of another aspect of lake districts. Highly recommended!

The trip was good and adventurous, but the weather is very critical at the lakes. our driver and guide (Mike) is an exceptional person. He knows the place, it's history and most of all he is very polite, conservative and his English is very good most especially for the foreigners.
