          Loved it
          Wonderful. My guide Ben was terrific! He was full of history knowledge. Ask him to show you where Chuffers the cat likes to sit

          Great day out!
          This was a great day out. Lovely tour guide, Mark, took time to explain interesting facts along our tour, gave us plenty of time while utilizing our day perfectly. Don’t think twice, this is great value for money and takes all the stress out of driving.

          Great day - worth every pence
          We went on this tour Wednesday, October 30. Our driver was Mark, and he was very informative and patient and kind and made sure we had fun! Because we were a smaller van, Mark took us to a few places off the beaten track. He really did go above and beyond! The views were stunning and we all learned quite a bit about life in this national park. All stops were just enough time and the Wensleydale creamery is a must do - complimentary cheese tasting and a great lunch spot.

          Great Day Trip
          The trip was outstanding. Mark, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to locations that we could take pictures especially as the weather kept changing. I really enjoyed the trip and was glad I went.

          Outstanding Day Trip
          The tour was outstanding. Mark, our tour guide, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and friendly and showed us a bunch of great locations. The weather was atmospheric (i.e., misty, rainy) and he tried to ensure we got to places where we could see and take pictures. All in all, it was a great experience.

          Awesome tour!
          Well designed tour of Yorkshire Dales National Park. Mark, our driver & guide, was excellent. St Mary's church in Masham was interesting, the Nation Park views were awesome, Grassington was a great place to stop for lunch and Linton Falls were beautiful.

          excellent trip
          the trip was excellent. Mark, who accompanied us, did an excellent job and spoke clearly and slowly so that even those of us who don't speak English as our native language could understand.. we couldn't have had better weather. in short it was great.

          A day in the Dales
          We were looking for an easy way to see the Yorkshire Dales after ten days of constant busyness. The views were incredible and received a lot of information abt the area, the history, the sheep, and birds. Poor weather would impact it, we luckily had a great day. If you are looking for a lot of walking, or a fast pace, this tour does not provide that.

          Best day tour
          Day trip to moors & Whitby with this company was simply the best from start to finish. All on time, lots of information from our amazing guide Ben who didn't stop giving us all the history from this amazing part of u.k. Loved the steam train ride to Whitby, Recommend the fish n chips & mushy peas. Met some good people visiting from U.S.A Recommend to everyone, probably not suitable for children.

          Glorious day spent touring The Yorkshire Dales
          Our driver/guide Chris was excellent. He was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. The sites we toured and visited were excellent reflections of the area. Also, he explained historic derivations of words which helped us understand place names. He also passed around an iPad showing clips from ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL of places that we were visited.

        We started from the York railway station, where we were picked up a little ahead of schedule. We then spent the next several hours on a fantastic tour of some of the wonderful sights and history of Yorkshire! Our guide Alan, who is a native of the area with thorough knowledge of the land and its history both recent and remote, was simply excellent. He was flexible, paced the day well for our 3-generation family group, provided an almost continuous stream of interesting insight into the things and places we encountered, and was happy to answer anything we thought to ask. This is a superb way to make a day trip from London and see a sample of York, the moors, and a bit of the world that gave us James Herriot stories (a man he knew, by the way). It would also be a great way to get an overview of the area at the beginning of a longer stay.

        My two sisters and I did a half day tour with Alan in October. Alan was prompt, courteous, and so much fun. We felt like he was a long-lost family member. We laughed so much that day. And the sites were great. There is just something about the Yorkshire moors, that moody mist and sheep-dotted hills. . . Perfect. I highly recommend a tour with this company, and Alan's company was a bonus. We'd do it again in a heartbeat.
