Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je gaat op weg naar de Vale of York en leert over het leven in Yorkshire terwijl je door de dorpen Strensall, Sheriff Hutton en Hovingham loopt. De eerste stop is in het traditionele National Park-dorp Hutton-le-Hole, waar u kunt dwalen tussen de traditionele stenen huizen en schapen die rondlopen op het gemeenschappelijke dorp, of gewoon een ontspannen Yorkshire Brew in een van de cafés - de keuze is aan jou!
We gaan over de North York Moors voor een aantal fotostops, passeren de 16e-eeuwse Lion Inn op Blakey Ridge (het hoogste punt op de Moors) en Ralph's Cross, vervolgens door de schilderachtige en pittoreske Yorkshire dorpjes die naar Whitby leiden. Bij aankomst in Whitby hoort u verhalen over de geschiedenis van de badplaats en vertelt uw gids u over de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden die u misschien wilt bezoeken.
Je hebt twee en een half uur vrije tijd in Whitby (twee uur als je de stoomtreinoptie neemt), met opties om de nieuwste attractie van Whitby te bezoeken, The Endeavour Experience (een van de slechts twee replica's op ware grootte van de HM Bark Endeavour die er bestaat ), het Captain Cook Museum, maak een replica boottocht op de Bark Endeavor-schaal rond de haven, bekijk Whitby Abbey (inspiratie voor de Dracula-boeken) of verken gewoon de winkels en de markt van de badplaats en ervaar Fish & Chips van het beroemde Magpie Café - de keuze is aan jou!
Als u liever wat minder tijd in Whitby doorbrengt en van de gelegenheid gebruik maakt om met een stoomtrein op de North Yorkshire Moors Railway te reizen tegen onze speciale kortingstarieven, kunt u aan boord gaan van de trein van 14.00 uur vanuit Whitby voor de 45 minuten durende heidevelden treinreis door Grosmont naar Goathland (Hogsmeade Station in de Harry Potter-films), waar u weer deelneemt aan de Minicoach. Deze optie wordt op de dag ter plaatse betaald zonder vooraf te reserveren.
We bereiken het station van Goathland op tijd om de andere passagiers te zien aankomen met de stoomtrein en leren dan over "Hogsmeade", voordat we het fictieve dorp "Aidensfield" in de televisieserie Heartbeat verkennen en misschien een ijsje uit de dorpswinkel halen.
We verlaten Goathland en hebben nog een paar fotostops terwijl je de geschiedenis leert achter de mysterieuze RAF Fylingdales-piramide op Snod Hill en het gat van Horcum.
We gaan terug naar York door de Howardian Hills met een panoramisch uitzicht op Castle Howard.

It was a great trip! We were very comfortable with Vince as a guide. Wonderful views over the moors, a nice visit to Whitby, and good restaurant recommendations! And a memorable railroad ride to Goathland / Aidensield in the end.
Mark was a very knowledgeable tour guide (and remembered names immediately!). He was kind, efficient, gave great advice about things like bathrooms when arriving at each location, and was very clear about meet up places and times. He took us to many great spots throughout the moors and Whitby.
Excellent day trip, guide and places.
90th Birthday present. Even though we were late for the 9.30 departure, we caught the train due to the prompt action of the car park man who contacted the engine driver. We rushed over the bridge, not easy at my age, waved apologies to the passengers and boarded with a friendly greeting from the platform staff. We’re on our way, clickety click went the wheels, through the beautiful countryside of North Yorkshire. This was an unforgettable experience of rail travel from a bygone era. I must congratulate all the voluntary staff for their courtesy and appreciate their care and attention. This was a day to remember and a perfect birthday present.
Whitby is a beautiful place, the drive to that town is pleasant with astonishing views. A relaxing day with lots of activities. Would like to revisit.
Brilliant day, our Guide (Mark) was excellent. His knowledge of the area was superb detailing everything from property prices down to Henry VIII and the English reformation. This whole experience was worth every penny and was topped off by the wonderful steam train experience from Whitby. If you get the chance do this, its excellent.
This is an amazing tour!!! So much information and our guide couldn't have been better. So knowledgeable, helpful, funny, friendly and safe. He did little extras to show us really cool stuff and everyone had a good time. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and do the optional train trip, it was worth it!
I really enjoyed that tour, our guide was really attentive, kind and polite, he drove as around the moors choosing the most fascinating roots and places to stop by. I didn’t feel rushed or exhausted, the bus was comfortable with good AC. highly recommend choosing that activity to spend your time in Yorkshire

Mark, our tour guide, was amazing! His narration, instructions were clear, articulate. & accurate. His driving was attentive & smooth. He was always concerned for our comfort & did all he could to give us a very positive experience. The small group of guests (approx 15) was just the right size for friendly conversations during the day. We even had dinner afterwards with a fellow traveler we met on the bus. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a lovely day out with Mark as our guide, despite the rather damp weather. Mark gave a continuous commentary as we drove to the North York Moors National park, stopping for mid-morning coffee, then a photo stop and on to Whitby. With recommendations for where to get fish and chips, and very clear instructions on meeting points and time we felt very well cared for. We really enjoyed the ride on the North York Moors Railway and the subsequent stop in Goathland where we heard about the filming of Harry Potter and the old TV series Heartbeat. It was a mixed group of nationalities and Mark’s delivery was very clear and slow so that everyone would be able to catch what he was saying. He made a point of learning everyone’s names and personalising the tour. Overall, I would recommend this tour On the downside, we ended up arriving a bit later than the rest of the group (but still 10 minutes for the departure time) as the minibus doesn’t have much signage and it was on the other side of the road to where we were looking. Mark came out and found us – but it meant we ended up sitting in the back row over the axle where we were bounced up and down a lot all day so the journey was not as comfortable as it might have been!
Hi Nikki and Rob, It was lovely to read your review, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so pleased you enjoyed your day exploring the North York Moors National Park, Whitby, and Goathland. Even though the Yorkshire weather was doing its usual thing, it sounds like you still managed to make the most of the day. As we like to say, there is no such thing as bad weather in Yorkshire, just the wrong clothes! And without the rain, we would not have the beautiful green landscapes that make the Moors so special. It is great to hear that Mark helped everyone feel welcome and well looked after. We pride ourselves on creating friendly, personal day trips from York, and taking the time to get to know our guests is all part of that experience. Thank you also for your feedback regarding the departure point and seating. We are sorry you found the minibus difficult to spot initially, although we are glad Mark was able to find you before departure. We are always happy to help guests locate us before the tour and can be contacted directly if needed. Thank you again for your recommendation. It means a great deal to our small local Yorkshire company and helps others looking for a North York Moors and Whitby tour from York feel confident booking with us. Warmest wishes, Lucy Best of Britain – Yorkshire Day Tours
