ヨーク発ノースヨーク・ムーアズ＆ウィットビー日帰りツアー

A lovely day out seeing the moors and Whitby. Ben was a friendly and knowledgeable guide.

So much beautiful scenery and fun anecdotes! But it was a lot of time on the bus/train. We found ourselves wanting more time at our stops to explore and thought maybe the scope was too much.

We were visiting York and heard about this day trip which sound like a pleasant and fun experience and we weren’t wrong! We booked through the Tourist information Centre in York which was easy and accessible. The tour bus arrives on Leeman Road, Coach Stop A (opposite the Memorial Gardens) at around 8:50am before leaving at 9am. The tour takes you through the various parts of York all while your guide gives you a history of York and Yorkshire, it’s flora and fauna as well as teaching you some Yorkshire words and phrases such as ‘ey up and tarrah. (We even learned the Yorkshire counting for sheep). The tour goes to Byland Abbey (one of those destroyed by Henry VIII) for great photo opportunities before travelling to Helmsley for a short pit stop and to briefly explore. After heading back onto the bus you travel into to North York Moors for more great photo opportunities and a short stop at Kirkdale/St Gregory’s Minster before travelling to Goathland Station (or Hogsmeade Station from the first Harry Potter film) to catch the North Yorkshire Moors train to Whitby where your driver picks you up and takes you to the top of Whitby by the Abbey. You can either walk the 199 steps down from the Abbey and explore or stay on the coach and get a lift down before exploring. John was our guide throughout the day and was amazing. He made the whole trip interesting and entertaining, offering useful information about what we were seeing as we drove along. We would highly recommend him for your tours. For a brilliant experience in York you must book this tour.

Our driver was so informative and obviously invested in sharing his love for the area. The stops we made were a great selection of features.

The tour was wonderful! Ben Allen was very informative and entertaining! I would recommend this tour to anyone. I also enjoyed it being a small group. Thank you!

The day went very well, in a very comfortable minibus, with interesting commentary and stops that allow you to discover North Yorkshire, such as stops on the moors or at old abbeys, which would not have been possible by local bus. Thanks for the warm welcome!

John was brilliant! He provided important details and fun trivia during the entire trip. We had a lovely time! One thing to note is, if you’re getting on the steam/diesel train to Whitby, there’s a chance of delays which cuts back on your remaining time for the tour plus delays time going back to the city centre.

It was an okay tour. I don’t understand why we took a train to Whitby as it was running late and a big waste of time. More time at Whitby Abbey would have been better.

We had a wonderful trip through some beautiful parts of Yorkshire including a visit to the ruins of Byland Abbey, then onto the picturesque village of Helmsley. From there we were taken to the North Eastern Railway station of Goathland where we boarded a train for the trip to Whitby. What a surprising town that was! Heaps of visitors there for some gathering of people dressed up in a variety of costumes. We were driven up to the old Abbey, and walked down the many steps to street level. We had 2 hours free time in Whitby before meeting back our bus & lovely driver, who gave us excellent commentary both there and back to York.

Had a great trip to the Yorkshire Moors and Whitby. Guide Trevor was excellent knew so much about the area. We had a few stops for photos and enjoyed some market shopping and our 2hr stop in Whitby.
