We had a wonderful tour today with John as our driver and guide. A constant commentary on Yorkshire history, stories, highlights of our sights and laughter were all part of this special day.

The guide/commentary. JohnS gave a most interesting, entertaing and informative commentary the whole time that we were pottering through the most attractive countryside. Giving us background on the area and its' features, history and and some more quirky snippets. Clear information on where to go for the best appreciation of views and clear instructions on returning to the bus. The trip on the North Moors railway was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. Thoroughly enjoyable. We recommend it heartily!

Our tour into the North York Moors & Whitby was led by John S. he was a brilliant driver/guide and had a wealth of knowledge that made the tour thoroughly enjoyable. After getting home and looking at the map, we couldn’t believe how many places in the moors we travelled to, we really felt we saw as much as we could. We had plenty of stops to take photos and explore different locations. The moors were beautiful, had a fun steam train ride from Grosmont to Whitby and a short but lovely time at Whitby - where we walked down the steps from the abbey, had fish and chips and bought some famous Whitby Jet. We felt we really got value for money and John was the highlight of the tour - well recommended to anyone!

I went on this tour with my 84 year old Mum. It was such a good day out for both of us. Can’t recommend this highly enough as a way to explore, even for car-owning locals, like us. John, the driver/guide, had so many stories to tell about the places we saw, and was so well-informed. We’re planning to book our next tour very soon.

Awesome, attractive sights throughout the North York Moors and Whitby tour. Our driver John was an incredible and super fun tour guide. Along the way, we were told fascinating facts and stories about the history of York. Although it was cloudy as we went up to the top of the steepest hills in England, we were still able to admire the moors through the clouds and the sight was honestly breathtaking at such a high altitude! On our way back to York, John quizzed us on our new knowledge of the York history, and we were lucky enough to win the special Whitby magnet. To end off the journey, we had a great time singing along to John’s favourite Beatle song which made everyone on the coach giggle! The North York Moors and Whitby tour was definitely worth the visit- I would totally recommend it!
