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.

I really enjoyed this trip! Our tour guide and driver, Jean, was absolutely lovely, bubbly and so much fun to be around. She’s also a fantastic driver! She took us on the road less travelled so we could enjoy some beautiful views of the lake. Such a wonderful experience! ❤️

The bed and breakfast is conveniently located a five-minute walk from the town center and includes a parking lot. The owner also delivers a delicious, personalized breakfast directly to your room.

What to know before visiting Cumbria

What to do in Cumbria

Cumbria is best known for guided Tours, which dominate bookings and shape the year: walking and sightseeing tours lead in popularity, with activity peaking through the southern hemisphere winter months of June and August according to Klook booking data. The demand summary shows quieter months around December and the start of the calendar year, so plan outdoor routes and scenic day trips when the rhythms suit you. Decide whether you prioritise summer atmosphere or lower prices and fewer crowds. All figures come from Klook booking data.

When to visit Cumbria

Demand on Klook rises to clear peaks in June and August, while December is the quietest month; that pattern suggests lively summer months and a much calmer late-year period. Prices trend highest in July and stay elevated in June and August, then drift down through autumn to reach the lowest typical price in November; where demand and price align, June–August offers peak atmosphere at higher typical cost, while November–December gives quieter conditions and cheaper median prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider November or December; for peak-season atmosphere, choose June to August.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Very quiet AUD 158
February Very quiet AUD 161
March Quieter than usual AUD 157
April Busier than usual AUD 163
May Quieter than usual AUD 161

September Busier than usual AUD 166
October Busier than usual AUD 164
November Very quiet AUD 151
December Very quiet AUD 167

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers lock experiences in about 18 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 38 days out, according to Klook booking data for the platform. That makes planning advisable if you want specific dates or weekend departures—especially in the June–August peak months when demand is highest. If you prefer flexibility, last-minute options still exist for many Tours, but aim to book sooner for summer. Use Klook to compare typical prices, watch for lower-season November–December availability, and reserve popular guided Tours early to secure your preferred slot.
