Our tour guide was John who was delightful. He was charming, extremely informative and we had a marvelous day in Yorkshire. We learned a lot about the history of the region which also means that we learned a lot about English history as well.
The only reason for not giving the tour five stars is that it was an 8 hour tour which became a bit overwhelming. If they could find a way to knock off a couple of hours one could still be immersed in the region.

Thanks to best and knowable guide and also great driver Geoff and agency Mountain Goat I had a great time exploring and finding more about landscape and national heritage od Yorkshire Dales and testing and buying some excellent cheese. The tour was exceptional and I was glad that we visited Bolton castle with wonderful gardens. I would defenitly recommend travelers to go with them on their tours and making memories for whole life. Their guides and drivers are excellent and I hope that I will see you again on one of the tours in my favorite part of the world. You for sure have the best office in the world! Best wishes from Croatia, Slavica!

Absolute highlight of our time in the U.K. and Duncan, our guide, partly why. So full of knowledge and stories and the terrain just could not get any more beautiful. Another highlight was the stop at the Wensleydale Creamery for some cheese tasting. Any fans of Wallace and Gromit animation will understand the significance. An all day commitment—totally worth the money.

I would highly recommend this tour if you are staying in Windermere / Ambleside. I had always wanted to go to the Dales and tour fulfilled all my dreams. We went to a small farmers market in Sedbergh, saw a train going over a viaduct, went to Wensleydale and tried lots of cheeses, went inside an old mill, then Bolton Castle, and finally visited the Aysgarth Falls.
Mark my driver was excellent and knew so much information on the area and made the day very informative. His colleague Tim was also very informative and an excellent photographer.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves beautiful scenery and wants to experience the countrydide
