    This was a fantastic tour and one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip. We got to see the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Byland Abbey, the heather in bloom on the moors, picturesque small towns/villages and the fascinating York countryside, and also had great fish and chips at Whitby. Our driver/guide, John, was engaging and informative, and brought the history of York to life with the stories he told. We also found John's elocution to be clear and really easy to understand. We did not greatly enjoy the steam train ride - the train crew did not announce that we were supposed to alight at one of the stations and board a different train, and we only learnt about it when a kind fellow passenger informed us of the situation. There were some delays in the steam train journey as the train made unexpected stops in the middle of nowhere. But we understand these aspects are not within Mountain Goats' control. Additionally, we felt that the minibus was a bit of a squeeze though we're on the smaller side. But as John explained, a coach cannot fit on the winding roads, so this is understandable.

    Driving through the beautiful Yorkshire moors, steeped in history, stopping off to see the Heather, Byland Abbey and a charming market town, picking up a steam strain in Goathland, followed by a couple of hours in Whitby (with fish and chips at a pub) was a brilliant ti way to spend a day.

    It was a lovely day looking over the vales and moors! Our driver/guide John is very friendly, kind and very knowledgeable about the history of York and each location we went to. He surely enjoys doing his job. The views were so wonderful and picturesque. Seeing the abbeys, graveyards, and churches toom us back in time. But the highlight of my day was the visit to Hogsmeade. Trully a tick on a Potterhead's bucket list.
