Connect your Carlisle arrival with a guided day

If you're arriving by rail, the first part of your tour can begin with a clear meeting plan. We travel from Langholm to provide mobile guiding and pre-arranged transport in Carlisle, collecting private groups from the station, accommodation or another agreed point. Your route can explore historical and heritage interests before ending with a planned return or onward journey. As the licensed vehicle carries up to six people and isn't shared with unrelated guests, the day can follow your group's questions and pace rather than a fixed public schedule.

Use your train time to set the day's shape

Please send your train service, expected arrival, group size and total time available. We also need your preferred historical themes, luggage details and final destination so we can judge what fits comfortably after collection. In Carlisle, a strong itinerary may centre on one subject and a manageable number of guided visits rather than trying to fill every hour. When transport and touring are planned together, we can account for your arrival and onward connection from the outset.

Frequently asked questions

Can you collect us from Carlisle station?

Yes, we arrange station pickups in advance. Send the station and train details, arrival time, group size, luggage and contact information so we can agree a clear meeting point and onward plan.

Can a Carlisle pickup lead into a day tour?

Yes, where your arrival and available hours allow a realistic route. Tell us which historical subjects interest you and where the day needs to finish, and we'll consider collection and touring as one itinerary.

Do we have to meet you at business premises?

No. We provide a mobile, pre-arranged service and meet or collect you at the agreed station, accommodation or meeting point. You don't need to travel to our Langholm base before the tour.
