    Despite my comment about letting people know what kind of vigorous uphill climbing to expect, this trip was indeed full of wonder and memorable moments, Getting to know the other hikers, the wonderful Garamara place, and the views as we hiked - were the highlights

    Every day yielded wonderful experiences ! The hotel was wonderful, the food and the staff was top-notch. Our main guide Graham was superb and we had good group dynamics. Climbing Scafell Pile was certainly a highlight - and a challenge - but I will retain wonderful memories from the gentler walks as well.

    Enjoyed the walking tour offered by Explore. There are 2 guides so 2 levels of difficulty are offered each day. Guides are wonderful. Accommodations are also great. We experienced 5 different hikes in the Keswick area. Recommend

    This is an excellent, varied tour in a stunningly beautiful area of northern England. Our hotel GlaraMara House was fantastic, with comfortable and spacious rooms, excellent, friendly staff, and fabulous food. Our guide Graham, and the other local guides were top notch. While a few of the days were more challenging to hike(Scafell Pike), we were offered alternate routes with a separate guide. Good weather helped, but the variety of walks, stunning beauty, and expert guidance made this trip memorable.

    Beautiful countryside and excellent hikes with great leaders. So nice to come back to the same hotel each day and enjoy gourmet food after a fun day outdoors. Highly recommend.
