Want to thank Andrew Ward and Expedition Yorkshire for the superb tour through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside! Andrew put together an outstanding tour including everything on our "must see" list and so much more. From the charming little villages and ancient ruins to the breathtaking scenery in the Dales and Moors, treating us to his vast knowledge of the geography, the history and all that is "Yorkshire"!

My friends, husband and I loved our tour from York to Edinburgh. Andrew, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to interesting and unique places like the castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. He filled us in on the history while we took in the beautiful views. Andrew treated us to the most delicious snacks- some amazing Scottish tea cakes, candies, crisps and drinks. The drive through the Yorkshire Dales had me imagining James Herriot riding along side us on his way to birthing a calf. I enjoyed those books. The highlight of our trip was a short hike up to Hadrian’s Wall. It was grand to stretch our legs and walk in the same steps as the Romans along the wall. All of our stops were special and worth the visit. Andrew filled us with local history, culture and stories for over 10 hours which is why I’d highly recommend this tour.

We booked our transfer tour with Andrew from York to Edinburgh. Our trip was fabulous from beginning to end. He was prompt with his pick up, a most careful driver, very courteous & and most attentive to the needs of our group. We didn’t have a set itinerary of things to do and see, we left all of those plans in his capable hands. We saw Bordon Castle, national parks, climbed Hadrian’s wall and much more. With plenty of snacks, rest stops & an awesome Sunday roast lunch in between. He is very knowledgeable and made our journey most enjoyable.

This was a last minute decision by us to try and gain a day of sightseeing and ended up a highlight of our trip. Andrew showed us areas that we would never have seen, from beautiful dales, to majestic mountain passes. He knew the area inside and out and was more than happy to adjust to suit what worked for us (such as an impromptu stop for a snowball fight for our youngest who had never seen snow!) His van was incredibly comfortable and provided snacks for everyone too. As well, the sheer ease of being collected and dropped off directly at your next stay was well worth it. Highly recommend!
