Highly Recommend tour and guide- - This tour was a highlight of our visit to York. John our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history (2,000 years worth!) people and landscape of the area. We found him warm and friendly and his driving very safe. The stops are lovely and do not feel rushed. He pointed out the landmark buildings and areas used in the series All Creatures Great and Small, which was one focus of the tour. Highly recommended and a special thanks to our guide John for an incredible day in the Yorkshire Dales!

A Grand Day out in the Yorkshire moors and Whitby. - It was a wonderful day, even though the weather was quite awful, our guide John made it very interesting and entertaining. Our tour was the Yorkshire moors and then to Whitby. We saw some amazing sights and John point out and educated us on so many things. If we had driven it ourselves we would have missed so much. We even got to ride a vintage train into Whitby and this was the highlight for my Dad. The bus was very comfortable with nice big windows. All in all it was money well spent. Thank you :-)

Came half way around the world to see the Yorkshire Dales and couldn’t have been more satisfied - Oh my, what a great day we had. Mark, our driver and guide entertained us thru the most beautiful places in the world in the Yorkshire Dales. Polite, helpful, knowledgeable, entertaining— he made certain we saw what we came to see and explained all the geography , history and all in detail with enthusiasm and a level of professionalism you rarely see. Go anywhere on any tour with these folks.

Fun Day in Yorkshire - Out tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Yorkshire Dalea and catered the day to our interests. He showed us many sights we wouldn't have known were there. We lived learning about the history of the region.

A Beautiful Day - First, visiting the Dales is a must. If one does not have a vehicle, this trip really fills the bill. The beauty and views are endless. Dave A. was a fine and cautious driver, but an even better reconteur of all things Dales (and Lake District). The numerous view and comfort stops were well timed, and the castle and creamery visits added interest and flavor to the tour.

Fun, Laughter, Information & Knowledge - Best tour ever for all creatures great and small tour. Barry is by far the best tour guide you could ever have fun laughter knowledge. His knowledge of where we went surpasses any tour I’ve ever been on in all my life and I have been on many I’m going to rate this as number one totally plenty of photo opportunities. Plenty of information telling you of what the photos are going to be for and some little surprises along the way. I want a wooden mouse of Barry for a question and Answer competition and I’m now going to also put this on Tripadvisor. If you want a great days outing do yourself a favourand go on this tour.
