Chris was a wonderful guide and told us all about the dales and the sheep farming there. The little villages that we stoped at were charming. It was a very enjoyable day.

The Dales are beautiful, serene and timeless area that captured my heart. Picturesque everywhere you look. Beware you will fill your camera storage trying to capture everything you like. Our guide, Chris, loves the area and it shows. He’s from the area and gives details you won’t hear from someone not from there. Excellent.

Absolutely fantastic day tour with our wonderful guide and driver. It was just him and four of us, which I loved, so much better than a large tour bus with 40 people! If we wanted to stop somewhere along the way for some pictures, we could. Highly recommend!!!

This was the most amazing day ever! We were all All Creatures Great and Small fans so it made for a great day seeing all the sites. Chris was so accommodating! Because it was pouring rain at the abbey, he offered to bypass that stop and allow us to visit the Harriet Museum in Thirsk. This was absolutely wonderful! Because it was a small group, we were able to make a change like that. This tour is a bit more than others, but it is worth every penny to be able to focus on what you really want to see! I would do it again if I come back to York!

We absolutely loved our day and tour of Yorkshire. There were only 4 of us on this tour and the bus is small to get us on some narrow and very scenic roads. Chris is a wonderful, unflappable and knowledgeable guide. He knew that we were fans of “All Creatures Great and Small” so shared with us backstories and delighted us with trips to filming sites. I knew nothing about The Fountains before this tour and was enthralled with the majesty and beauty if the place.Highly, highly recommend !
