Totally worth it! The driver + guide is very experienced and friendly too! it was a perfect size for a day tour trip. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, still we managed to finish all spots and it worths still! Remember to drop by KITTchEN: P*ssy & Pints! Amazing bar!! Mind that the pick up point for the trip is a bit hard to find in Google Map though.

The tour guide was very interesting and humorous, and the itinerary wasn't too strenuous. The attractions were well-arranged and offered good value for money. The only downside was the extremely hot weather; the air conditioning on the tour bus wasn't cold enough, so the temperature inside the bus remained high during the midday and afternoon.

What to know before visiting Cumbria

Quick snapshot of Cumbria and what to expect

Cumbria draws most Klook bookings for tours and outdoor experiences, with demand peaking in early and late summer and falling right down in winter. Activity bookings follow a seasonal rhythm: lively in June and August, much quieter toward December.

Best months to visit based on demand and prices

Klook demand data show the busiest months are June and August, while the quietest month is December. Prices tend to peak in July and are typically lowest in November, with a modest gap between the priciest and cheapest months. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for November or other shoulder months; if you want the full summer atmosphere, June through August is when demand is highest (prices are also generally higher around July).

Tips for travellers

Most visitors book about two to three weeks ahead, with many late decisions possible up to roughly five days before. If you have a short trip, you can often book experiences close to travel dates; if you plan to travel in the summer peaks named above, consider locking in key tours a few weeks out. Use Klook to compare available tour times and secure spots when you know your dates.
