Barry was very knowledgable and great company. Plenty of fantastic views and stops. Clean and plenty of toilet stops. Thank you!

I would like to thank Trevor for making it a very educational and enjoyable day. We had lovely weather and as a photographer I could have wished for more stops as there were so many gorgeous locations we saw but I appreciate that there was a very full agenda that needed to be fulfilled and not everyone is a photographer. As I say Trevor was brilliant the breadth of information and the level of knowledge he demonstrated was just brilliant totally recommend this trip.

Our guide, John, was an absolute delight, and a man who clearly loves his Yorkshire home. He imparted fascinating historical information to us, along with facts about the land and animals we were seeing. Our day was cloudy with fog at the top of the ridges, but it did not detract from this experience at all. Seeing film locations was also lots of fun. This trip was my personal favorite from among the 5 that we took on our vacation this year.

Loved seeing the Dales and learning about the area. Especially loved the Bird of Prey exhibition we were lucky to catch. Very impressed the driver could share so many tidbits while dealing with bikers, tractors and narrow roads. Highly enjoyed this!

Our tour guide for the day was Ben, and I could not imagine a better experience. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was a highlight of my trip and a must-do. We started with a stop for ice cream, and it just got better and better. The Yorkshire Dales is one of the most beautiful locations I have been to, and if I ever have a chance to return, I'd love to do it again.

Our tour started on time with a 16 seater van. Our driver was John S. who was quite experienced - he successfully got us out of an unusual traffic jam at the start of our journey out of York. Kudos to him, we visited all our sites without any problems or delays. In addition, he is a safe and skillful driver. Yorkshire Dales is just as described in the James Herriot books, beautiful and serene. One just has to relax and enjoy the scenery while driving through the hills and valleys. Happily the weather was fine - no rain. A bit more sunshine would have been nice but I am not complaining. Overall it was a pleasant 1 day tour experience given our short time in the City of York.

Despite a cloudy gloomy weather, John lit up the trip to Dales with amazing narration of Yorkshire history. His tireless storytelling was so well done that I can probly now write my thesis of last few thousand years of York. Great trip and highly recommended

Gary S

John S, our driver and guide, was simply AMAZING! He was so informative, eloquent, kind, considerate, and a true gentleman. My wife and I learned so much from him that made our drive through the beautiful Yorkshire dales all the more enjoyable. This lovely tour was one of our best days ever in our extensive travels!

We have just returned from a great tour to the Yorkshire Dales with John S. We had a lovely time, experienced all seasons but thoroughly enjoyed it. John was an excellent safe driver, and so knowledgeable. An added bonus was seeing a falconry display at Bolton Castle which was included with the tour. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour and John, it gave me a break from driving and finding all those hidden beautiful villages, and being able to take in all the views. Sheila & Bob

Excellent day trip. Visited some beautiful places. John S was pleasant and knowledgeable. Recommend having lunch at creamery on a weekend as Hawes gets busy. Remember your camera .
