All Creatures Great and Small Tour from York

The tour was amazing. John, our guide, was fantastic! We traveled through space and time as we stopped at quaint, amazing looking villages. Bolton Castle was a hit.

Fantastic trip - the guide was so knowledgable - beautiful scenery

Had a delightful day with our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Trevor of Mountain Goat Tours. We left York at 9am and returned at 5:30pm making it a full day of sights. Our only issue was the lack of clear instructions on exactly where to find the meeting point. Fortunately, our Uber driver was able to help.

Great and enjoyable day, knowledgeable guide

John was a wonderful guide/driver. Extremely knowledgeable, lots of history and a smattering of local tales. Comfortable coach ride, great for a solo traveler because one column of seats were all single. Driver has a microphone, so very easy to hear him no matter where you sit. Beautiful sites. My one complaint is I would have liked to get off the coach at the waterfall instead of just driving by it slowly in both directions so each side of the coach could get a picture.

This was a fabulous day out. Our guide was local to the area and so had lots of stories to tell us that we would never have known if we had driven the route ourselves There were some good stops, which were well-timed along the route and we were able to get food and drink along the way. It was a great way to see the filming locations for All Creatures Great and Small, which we particularly enjoyed. Another highlight was visiting the Wensleydale. Creamery, where we bought far too much cheese, but we managed to eat it all during our the holiday.

Four of us booked this tour, initially because of the TV series, but also because it gave us the chance to see the beautiful Dales during a relatively short holiday. I can’t praise it enough. John, our wonderful guide, was so knowledgeable (and friendly) and the tour, much of it through breathtaking scenery along narrow lanes, was everything I could have hoped for. Grassington was gorgeous, the Wensleydale Creamery a great spot for lunch (and a chance to overeat on cheese!), and Bolton Castle a fitting finale. Fabulous all round and thank you John for an unforgettable day.

This was a wonderful tour, whether or not you are a fan of the show/books. The Yorkshire Dales are beautiful and our guide John was extremely knowledgeable. He has lived in the area most of his life and clearly has a love for it, as his passion comes through in his commentary. I highly recommend the tour.

Almost can't think of enough superlatives! Our driver/guide was John, a Yorkshire native, and his narrative was simply the best. He was interesting, knowledgeable, entertaining, spoke clearly and concisely and at a very good pace. His driving was excellent - I was in the front seat and never once did I cringe. The tour design is interesting as it covers not only the Yorkshire Dales but also weaves in the two series of "All Creatures Great and Small" which takes place in the Dales and has made it such a popular destination. The tour allowed for just the right amount of comfort breaks.

Wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and great at driving "cozy" roads! 16 passenger van--which was a nice size, but do not sit in the very back row as it is very bouncy!! One of us had to move to the (luckily) empty seat up front as it was too much movement for him. It is a long day. We would have loved to have done just a 1/2 day. But, there were lots of sights. The Creamery was full up when we stopped so we couldn't sit down for lunch. Went to a lovely pub in town (5 min. walk) instead. The church where they got married in the show was a lovely little historic church. The Bolton Castle was fun to look around complete with wild (fenced) boars! Grassington was a darling town and would have liked to have stayed there longer. The falls were dry due to a drought. The Dales area is beautiful. One lovely photo spot after another!
