An Interesting, Fun Experience - Overall, the tour was quite good. Barry shared lots of information about filming sites for both the first and second series. He also had wonderful stories about the little extras (ie., the man who carved mice into the pews he made, the behind story of Wensleydale cheese, etc.). I did have trouble keeping straight which site matched which series though, especially since I had not watched the second version. It would have been nice to make a short stop at the church where the first TV James and Helen were married. All of us in the van appreciated Barry's willingness to make a little side detour to the town where Wensleydale cheese is made. We like the Wallace and Grommit shows and had fun at the cheese store. Bought cheese, of course!! Bolton Castle was good. The only problem for myself, my husband and my son was that we had a bit of problem with motion sickness which was not Barry's or the tour company's fault. The roads were very narrow, twisty turny, and up and down. I had more problems than the other two. Luckily we stopped for an hour lunch in Grossington (sp), and afterwards felt better. Thinking back, I probably should have asked Barry to stop for a bit longer at one of the other sites. That would have helped (I think)

An Amazing Day Out - A fantastic full day experience with wonderful memories made all the more special by Barry our tour guide. He had an incredible wealth of knowledge about the world of James Herriot, the television series (old and new) and of the Dales as a whole. We visit various film locations, one or two which felt rushed where we would have liked longer, but that was in order that we could discover as much as possible about All Creatures Great and Small. Covering over 150 miles and lasting 9 hours I would thoroughly recommend this tour to any fan of All Creatures Great and Small.

A spectacular, grand tour of some of the finest scenery in England! - What a gorgeous experience that we will always treasure! Barry, our tour guide, was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgable throughout the entirety of the tour. He went above and beyond- he couldn't have been more hospitable! His knowledge and enthusiasm for All Creatures Great and Small was superb and it was wonderful to find out some really interesting facts. Needless to say, the scenery was breathtaking and visiting Grassington was just as beautiful as it looks on the television. It was a day to remember and I would recommend it to anyone!

The All Creatures Great... - The All Creatures Great and Small tour was excellent and Barry our driver was also. Barry couldn't do enough for you and he was full of knowledge and gave out so much information on everything. The only thing I would say is even though Barry had a lot to get through it would have been nice to spend a little longer in the museum as we had to rush a little but overall it was a great day

Very knowledgeable & informative re the area & the tv series. Bus was very comfortable & thankfully had AC as it was an extremely hot day. A great day out. Thank you very much.

Definitely recommend! - My friend and I really enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Driver was fantastic, so knowledgeable and also incredibly friendly. Our only comment, and we appreciate that there was a lot to pack into the day, was that we would’ve liked to have spent more time in Grassington, as we felt rushed having to both eat lunch and enjoy the village, shops etc. in the allocated time.

More enthusiasm please - we´re all fans of ACGAS here in the bus! - I enjoyed the day in the Dales. Its a nice tour and our driver showed us a lot around the beautiful countryside, villages and towns. He is a great driver on the tiny country-roads and a very sweet and helpful person. What was a little bit pity is that he wasn't a very informed or enthusiastic person about the show. He showed us most of the important places, like Heston Grange and some of the churches they used in the series, but you could tell he wasn't a fan who knows more of the finer details or had more specific stories to share. But he knew a lot about the agriculture, landscape, biology and history of the Dales, which was nice and interesting, too. But unfortunately not all what I hoped for in this specific ACGAS-Tour. But I enjoyed the day and it was cool to visit and see the places. :-)
