Definitely the best one day tour from Manchester. Lake District has picturesque views. fun to take the boat cruise and steam train.

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.

Great 4.0
For a Holiday Inn, this one is quite new and clean. I heard from an Uber driver that it was built not too long ago, and the facilities are really good. Breakfast is okay. The only thing I don't understand is why the boiled eggs are served cold; it would be better if they were kept warm.

Convenient luggage storage, located very close to the train station, only a 10-minute walk. After storing your luggage, it's only a 5-minute walk directly to Piccadilly Garden. Highly recommended!

Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

The BritRailPass is so worth it. Easy to activate and use the QR codes for each day. You can take your time and be assured that you can board the train at the time that you prefer. There are routes though that are really popular and crowded. Train fares are quite expensive if you buy them on the day itself so the flexibility helped a lot. We traveled around UK with our large luggages. just make sure to board the coach with the luggage compartment.
