The Lake District: 6 Tours from Windermere and Beyond

6 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $79

The lakes are close together and the roads are slow, so the itinerary matters more than the mileage. These 6 tours differ on how many lakes they reach, whether a Windermere cruise or the mountain railway is included, and where they start.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 304 reviews · from $92

Review of Mountain Goat Tours’ Manchester Lake District day trip, with Windermere cruise, Hawkshead, Tarn Hows, and seasonal train ride.

“It was an absolutely unforgettable day - my first introduction to the Lake District, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jean for it! She is not only an inexhaustible source of knowledge about the culture and history of the region, but also a great driver, amazing storyteller and overall lovely person. I loved the day and will be back to explore more. The tour is warmly recommended to everyone who has a day in the area - it will give you a great first impression and provide you with plenty of ideas and inspiration for longer stays.”

Review of Mountain Goat’s Lake District tour from Liverpool, with Windermere cruise, steam train, Tarn Hows, Hawkshead, and seasonal cream tea.

“Our guide Colin was absolutely fantastic, giving us information regarding the different aspects of areas of outstanding beauty. He also pointed out different historical aspects . We were given ample amount of time to enjoy our tour at the various stop off points. The boat trip on lake Windermere was so enjoyable and we loved it and the steam train of the Lake & Haverthwaite railway was wonderful and it’s brilliant that it’s been brought into use . Would 💯 recommend this tour”
