Not many day tours in the market provided a visit to the heather cladded Yorkshire Moorland as well as a steam train ride. We joined this tour, not only witnessed the pros of a small group (6 passengers in our trip) in an 8-seater minivan, which could move freely in country lanes in Whitby and Hemsley, but also enjoyed the advantage of arrived at the doorsteps of Whitby Abbey, instead of climbing up the 199 steps, as well as traveling on a classic steam train from Lewisham to Goathland, together with hundreds of school children on a school outing 😀 of course, the visit to Byland Abbey and hotel pick up are bonuses. Fantastic.

Really good trip pickering to whitby but disappointing that steam train not used on either journey there or back. You need to get to pickering early to get good seats as normally mobbed on all journeys Ticket purchased also last till following year on date off purchase every good if intending on return to the area next year All in all great journey and worth the money

Well organised trio, all really enjoyed, was for my father in laws special birthday, my 9 year old son also enjoyed, the tour guide picked us up on time, the mini bus was very comfortable and Chris the guide was very friendly, professional & knowledgeable. The steam train topped the day off.

Chris, our guide, did a fantastic job of making our first trip to the UK memorable, informative, and eventful! As a person with a similar job (Disney) we know how challenging it can be. We enjoyed his knowledge of the moors, Whitby, and our access to the NYMRR! I’d definitely recommend again! Alan
