We thoroughly enjoyed our experience today on the All Creatures Great and Small Tour. We found Chris to be a knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver! We never felt rushed and the stops along the way were perfectly timed. It was a lovely day and we would highly recommend this tour for those who wish to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

The overall knowledge of our driver, Howard. for all things All Creatures Great and Small and also the overall Yorkshire Dales was astonishing. As the witching hour of 5.00 p.m. was approaching he was eager to continue showing us places of interest and continued to do so until after 6:00 p.m. Highly recommended.

This trip was a very special event for my family. My husband and daughter are veterinarians and this experience was a dream come true. We have loved the books, the two series and even CAT ABOUT TOWN for children in particular!
