5.00Chris is a very knowledgeable guide, very experienced. It is a comfortable pace for the day and you travel in a nice van. Saw places that I would not know about without our guide. Highly recommend. Thank you

5.00Chris was an outstanding guide. He did just the right amount of everything. He timed everything very well, explained just enough but not too much, and the tour was well planned out.
This is the tour to do

5.00Chris personalises your day by picking you up and returning you to your accommodation in York. He takes you through tiny back lanes so you get a feel for the real Dales, and stops at beautiful locations for photos. Along the way he tells interesting anecdotes and historical information which only a life spent in Yorkshire, as Chris has done, can give. Fantastic day!

5.00Wonderful day with Chris in the Yorkshire Dales! Learned a vast amount of new information on our trip. Hit key spots from the show AND helped us witness amazing scenic beauty with our own eyes. Chris instantly felt like a lifelong friend. His passion for showcasing the Dales and educating you on facts and history make your time traveling between stops fly by. Add in his humor and timely jokes and you will have a smile glued to your face for most of your day. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and met four other interesting people for that day. Pickup and dropoff in York was convenient, stops along the way well paced, lunch was excellent and the Dales were spectacular. If you get motion sickness or small winding roads are not your thing - you might want to think twice - otherwise why have you not booked your trip yet?!?!
