I had a wonderful experience during the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and much of that is thanks to Tim. He provided incredibly detailed information about each location we visited and kept the atmosphere light and fun with his humor. His efforts truly made the trip memorable. Highly recommend!

One of the best guided tours and an exceptional guide in Jerri, who explained the history of the region so very well and seemed to know every nook and corner of the Lake District.
