Absolutely Fantastic! That's the only way to describe this tour. Our tour guide was a wealth of information. The country side we passed through was stunning and visiting some of the filming sites for show was perfect. It was money well spent. We couldn't fault anything. Thanks you sooo much for a fantastic day.

This tour was the perfect way to explore the Yorkshire Dales. John, our driver and guide, was absolutely amazing. We saw the major All Creatures sites, which was fantastic, but this tour was so much more! Throughout the day, John explained the history of the area and shared so many interesting stories and information. He was wonderful about giving us an overview of our plans for the day and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Although it was raining during a portion of the day, it did not negatively affect our experience - we were actually able to see so many beautiful waterfalls throughout the area due to the rain that we would have missed if the weather had been perfect. The Dales are truly a beautiful spot in this planet and I highly recommend leaving the driving to this tour group as some of the roads are crazy narrow/can be flooded and it was so relaxing to be able to enjoy the scenery and not worry about having a car. Book this tour! You will be so glad that you did.

What a beautiful magical day. This tour was just the best day out. The driver/guide Barry was so warm,kind friendly and was so knowledgeable about all the places we passed by and visited. Grassington was so pretty, could've stayed all day, lovely visit to the church,very moving as they had Rememberance poppies covering the churchyard and inside too. Hawes and Wensleydale Creamery were equally just as lovely,I enjoyed cheese on toast at the creamery which was so tasty. Aysgarth Falls were magical,plenty of time for some pictures. On our travels we came across a dog that appeared to be wandering around on his own,Barry brought him on board and rang the owners, as it happens he was a local doggie and his owner wasn't far away,he was friendly and enjoyed lots of attention from my fellow passengers. Bolton Castle was very atmospheric,we were given wristbands to get into the castle free of charge,while wondering around we stumbled across staff that were getting parts of the castle ready for a wedding,a lovely setting for a wedding. I will definitely be booking again this tour was outstanding,I don't drive and would never be able to get to any of these places, great value for money. The coach was comfortable and warm with charging ports for phones and we were able to take drinks and snacks on board too. A comfortable drive back into York and dropped off on time. Fantastic day out.

The tour was AMAZING! We were lucky that we had nearly perfect weather. The scenery was stunning. And Barry was an outstanding guide. His breadth and depth of knowledge, sense of humor, and engagement throughout the trip made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend. (And I got the mouse prize at the end).

From the meet up to the tour's end we loved it. Barry was our driver and he was so nice and also just a fount of knowledge. He really helped make all the places come alive and showed us places that were in the series. Just a lovely day and I'm so glad we took this tour. Comfortable van and top notch guide.

We had a great day with Trevor as our guide showing us lovely places and filming locations. We stopped for morning tea and lunch in pretty villages and enjoyed his commentary while we admired the beautiful scenery.

Barry is the most knowledgeable and kind guide/host who painted a world of the Yorkshire Dales to include both history and all things related to both versions of All Creatures Great and Small. He brought to life the people involved in making the TV show and those who created the history of the Dales. Each stop was treated with history, stories and things to look for and not miss. A wonderful day spent with a kind man bringing life to the Dales.

The guide was knowledgeable about the area. But! We had to go to the Wensleydale Creamery and we didn’t go. By way of reply: “Oh I forgot it’s only cheese! Excuse me." My spouse and I were disappointed.
