Reached the heights of heaven in the Lake District

Frank was a great tour host. Unique way of presenting with music and humor. Provided some historical background which was very interesting and showed he clearly had a knowledgeable interest in the history. Pleasant, courteous, friendly, accommodating - gave tips about various local areas of interest. And the piece de resistance…the views! This made our entire trip. So very worth it.
