Resplan
Du ska åka till Vale of York och lära dig om livet i Yorkshire när du passerar genom byarna Strensall, Sheriff Hutton och Hovingham. Det första stoppet är i den traditionella nationalparkbyn Hutton-le-Hole, där du kan vandra bland de traditionella stenbyggda husen och fåren som strövar på byens gemensamma mark, eller bara ha en lugn Yorkshire Brew på ett av kaféerna - valet är ditt!
Vi tar oss upp över North York Moors för några fotostopp, passerar 1500-talets Lion Inn på Blakey Ridge (den högsta punkten på morerna) och Ralph's Cross, sedan genom de pittoreska och pittoreska Yorkshire byarna som leder ner till Whitby. När du anländer till Whitby kommer du att höra historier om kuststadens historia och din guide kommer att berätta om de viktigaste sevärdheterna du kanske vill besöka.
Du kommer att ha två och en halv timmars fritid i Whitby (två timmar om du tar ångtågalternativ), med alternativ att besöka Whitbys senaste attraktion, The Endeavor Experience (en av endast två kopior i full storlek av HM Bark Endeavor som finns) ), Captain Cook-museet, ta Bark Endeavour-replikens båttur runt hamnen, se Whitby Abbey (inspiration för Dracula Books) eller bara utforska butikerna och marknaden för badstaden och upplev Fish & Chips från det berömda Magpie Café - valet är ditt!
Om du föredrar att spendera lite mindre tid i Whitby och utnyttja möjligheten att resa med ångtåg på North Yorkshire Moors Railway till vår speciella rabatterade pris, har du möjlighet att gå ombord på kl. 14.00 från Whitby i 45-minuters moorland tågresa genom Grosmont till Goathland (Hogsmeade Station i Harry Potter-filmerna), där du kommer att gå med igen i Minicoach. Detta alternativ betalas lokalt på dagen utan att behöva boka i förväg.
Vi når Goathland Station i tid för att se de andra passagerarna anlända med ångtåg, och sedan lära oss om "Hogsmeade", innan vi utforskar den fiktiva byn "Aidensfield" i vykortet i TV-serien Heartbeat och kanske tar en glass från bybutiken.
Vi lämnar Goathland och har ytterligare ett par fotostopp när du lär dig historien bakom den mystiska RAF Fylingdales Pyramid på Snod Hill och Hole of Horcum.
Vi går tillbaka mot York genom Howardian Hills med panoramautsikt över Castle Howard.

We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Mark! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly passionate about the history and stories behind every stop. He made the experience both informative and entertaining, and his enthusiasm kept everyone interested from beginning to end. The tour was well organized, the pace was perfect, and we learned so many fascinating details that we would never have discovered on our own. Mark was also very friendly, happy to answer questions, and made everyone feel welcome. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Mark, for such a memorable experience!
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.

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.
