Yorkshire Dales Tour ab York

Been on the North Yorkshire Moors trip today with family and we can't recommend it enough. We met John our driver and guide at Popplewell Bar park and ride bang on 9am and from the second he picked us up we were entertained and educated with his many stories and wealth of historical information. We were expertly driven around the most beautiful countryside seeing areas only locals would know about, stopping at the best places for photos and walks etc . A day of memories made many thanks John you made it fabulous.

We had a fine experience. Scenery was wonderful and Barry the guide a delightful commentator.

Lovely day visiting the Dales. Wonderful hike, pub lunch, and trip through the villages. Barry did a great job explaining the history of the Dales and the people who lived there. Highly recommend!

Long but great day . John our guide was very knowledgeable which added to the whole experience . Keeping us entertained all day with his knowledge

This has been an amazing tour! We have learnt a lot about local history, and many interesting trivia, like I wasn't aware a Creamery was saved by Wallace & Gromit! The places were magnificent, the sheep adorable, the birds of prey spectacular. Barry was very kind, friendly and incredibly knowledgable! Highly recommended tour!

Had such a wonderful day with Trevor on Wednesday 5th of August. Can't believe the amount of knowledge he has and the Dales were gorgeous. Particularly loved St Michael and All the Angels church. What a gem! This was our third Mountain Goat Tour and we've never been disappointed but this was the best one yet. The tour is well worth the money, plenty of photo stops and tea & coffee stops. Would highly recommend - just make sure you have some cash leftover (unlike us who had no cash on us 🫠) to tip the amazing Trevor! Thanks so much again, Trevor. Was such a fantastic day!

The places that we visited were beautiful and enjoyable. But the experience with the tour guide was not good. Our guide talked constantly. It was hard to understand what he was taking about. He kept bringing up some characters in a book that we were unfamiliar with. So it was just annoying. One of our stops was supposed to be at the Aysgarth Falls but we didn’t go there. We were expecting to return by 6:15 but arrived an hour early. So I think he forgot about making that stop. The stop in Wensleydale wasn’t long enough to get lunch and see the town. It would have been better to spend more time there and maybe a little less time sitting and listening to our guide drone on about the book I didn’t know about. I hope the other tour guides who do this tour are more thoughtful.

Given physical distance between York and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, most of the time was spent on traveling. But the park is very good and worth visiting.

This was a lovely day in the countryside. Because we were in a van rather than a huge bus, we were able to travel by the smaller roads past hedgerows and stone walls, enjoying the beautiful scenery, while stopping in some charming villages and eating far too much cheese at the Wensleydale Creamery. John, our guide and driver, was entertaining and informative, and the whole day was great fun. (I also really appreciated the clear directions to the meeting point. I found it immediately and that's not always the case!)

We went on this tour today. Our driver was very nice and knowleddgable about the area. I would have liked to make the stops a little longer so as to have a chance to walk around a little more. We also went on a trip to Castle Howard yesterday, and that also was wonderful but I would have liked a little more time there as well.
