From the time Chris picked us up until he dropped us off, this trip was worth every bit. We learned so much about the author’s history, the lay of the land and how very special all of it was on this tour. Words cannot describe the journey. Chris’s knowledge of Alf Wight AKA James Herriot and all he encompasses bought the whole trip to life more than we ever expected. Not to mention the stress we left behind of not having to drive this ourselves. We never would have covered as much of the Yorkshire Dales nor been able to enjoy every moment. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Chris and Viator for the best highlight of our holiday!

We had an excellent day in the Dales with our guide Chris. He was friendly, answered all our questions and was willing to stop for photos. The weather was fantastic too. The James Herriot Museum was very interesting and we ate delicious fish and chips at “The Drovers”. We saw pretty little villages and about a million sheep. Beautiful scenery.

Alan's narrative and personality was wonderful resulting in a fantastic excursion. Provided insights and accommodated our interests.

A great tour by Sean! My husband & I enjoyed Sean’s knowledge of the Dales, All Creatures history, & York history. Great driving skills allowed us to relax & enjoy the BEAUTIFUL countryside. Highly recommend Sean and this outing!!!

My wife and I are great fans of James Herriot so this excursion was a no brained for us. Our driver Shaun was well verse in the Herriot stories and took us to villages where many of the TV scenes were filmed. The scenery in the Dales is nothing short of spectacular and Shaun made sure we experienced the best of the Dales.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Howard could not have been more professional, friendly and knowledgable. He knew the area extremely well and was a very good driver. We had originally thought about navigating the Dales ourselves but are so glad we splurged on this tour. I think the stress of driving on the small country roads would have taken away any pleasure we would have gotten from the beautiful landscape. The museum was delightful you shouldn't skip it.

We enjoyed our private day tour with Howard to see the Yorkshire Dales and the "All Creatures Great and Small" filming sites. Howard was prompt, knowledgeable about the area, friendly, well spoken, and a good driver. The vehicle was comfortable, and the tour included adequate restroom stops. The only thing that could have made me more comfortable: a more timely response to my confirmation email from the office. (I like to have all my plans confirmed before I leave home.)

The World of Herriot was like coming home. I enjoyed seeing the actual places I read about! We ate at the pub formerly known as Drovers Arms. I also enjoyed the drive around North Yorkshire: the old buildings, stone fences, and sheep. Our guide Chris, was friendly and accommodating.

Spent more time riding in van than visiting sights. Trip shortened by 1 1/2 hours by guide. Should have spent more time in Grossington not only for lunch but also to tour the town. Just drove by sites used for TV locations but never stopped to take photos. Worst tour I've ever had with Viator!! Not worth the excessive price!!

Chris was an exceptional tour guide. He was professional, friendly & knowledgeable. The trip was everything we hoped for & more.
