5.00Wonderful tour! Guide, Chris, was perfect. The tour is a great blend of All Creatures Great and Small sites and the Dales. The pace was enjoyable. Unfortunately the day went by too quickly. Would highly recommend

5.00The tour was fabulous. The Yorkshore Dales are very beautiful and our guide Pete was wonderful, full of knowelge and very pleasant.. Fans of "All Creatures Great and Small" will not be disappointed. The James Wight (Harriot) museum was very well done. If not a fan the tour contained other interesting stops such as a Cathedral, a very nice castle and a great creamery with exceptional cheese and ice cream. Truely a wonderful day.

5.00The Yorkshire Dales trip was amazing. Such a beautiful place and it was fantastic to see it in a small group with a van that could get us on the very small backroads away from the throngs of big tour busses. Chris, our guide, was a huge reason why this trip was so great. A local, he had such passion and knowledge of this special place. We asked lots of questions, some of which could probably be answered only by someone from the Dales. And he listened to our wishes and was able to personalize the trip to our group. We loved seeing some of the All Creatures locations, but were stunned by the overall beauty of this magical place.
This was one of the most...

5.00This was one of the most amazing tours I've ever been on. Chris was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job of driving us the the breathtaking Dales, taking us to all the James Heriot sites that he has been personally familiar with. I not only recommend this tour to others, but will seriously consider booking other tours through Chris in the future.
Excellent
