Fantastic day, driven and led by John S. Courteous, friendly service, which was well thought-out in advance - the day ran really smoothly, and John made it so much easier. Lovely countryside, and some great commentary to boot. Huge thanks to him, and Becca for helping sort out the logistics. Will definitely use again.

On our recent vacation to England, my wife and I took a private tour of Yorkshire Dales departing from York. Without a doubt, it was the highlight of our vacation. Trevor met us promptly at 9:00AM in our hotel lobby at The Grand York. After introductions, we set off for a spectacular trip to the Yorkshire Dales. We made several stops, including a stop at Wensleydale Creamery for a wonderful lunch. The views were breathtaking and Trevor was an absolutely superb tour guide. I highly recommend Trevor and Mountain Goat Tours and we are already planning on booking another trip with them upon our return to York next year!
