5.00Superb guiding by Chris. Many reststops and longer interesting stops at important James Herriot places. Just what we were looking for. Chris was speaking about what we were seeing. Cows, goates, nature, you name it. We loved it all.
Perfect Day in Yorkshire

5.00Mark our driver was great! Very knowledgeable of the area and what travelers want to know. Mark made it a point to learn our names and a bit about each of us. It was an amazing day for the tour, 60 degrees and sunny and very blue sky which contrasted nicely with the green Yorkshire dales. Each stop was perfectly timed and great stories and suggestions for the travel stops. The coffee breakfast stop in Masham was great the spot he suggested was perfect. Lunch in Grassington was nice, not as much James Herriot stuff as maybe we wanted. Had to rely on the memories of what the town looked like on the show. During the stop we asked Mark about how to get to Thirsk from York to see the James Herriot museum and by the next stop he provided us detailed train information update with bank holiday schedules! Thank you. It was a wonderful day and would never have seen the beautiful Yorkshire country without this outstanding tour!
