    It was a comfortable easy way to get to see Whitby and the Moors. Mark our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept us on track to make sure we made all the stops on our tour and got all of the photos in the best places. He also articulated an annunciated very well, so it was easy to understand him. He was courteous and willing to answer any questions and take time to make sure our trip was the best it could be the train ride was a steam train but because of all the grown-up bushes, there was very limited views to take pictures

    Amazing day! Super beautiful. Incredible well organized! Great pace. Lots of amazing information. Never had to worry about anything. Mark was a wealth of knowledge, very helpful with all aspects of the day. Hoping to sign up for another tour. Honestly loved every stop and every activity!

  • A feast for nature lovers.

    There's a lot more to York than the city. The countryside is a photographer's paradise. Whilst you will want more time and shots this trip does not disappoint with variety and ground covered. Unfortunately the heritage train trip didn't live up to expectations with just forest scenery on either side. The novelty value and contribution to maintain the track and engines is a consideration. Good value for most travellers and will likely have you wanting to explore more.

  • The perfect day trip to explore Yorkshire.
