Using the other railway line into Whitby was a big success.

Published on Feb, 2025

We came in to Whitby on the Middlesborough train joining at Castleton Moor at around 11.00. We left Whitby at 16.00 for the return. It was charming and scenic. This line is a lot cheaper than from Pickering, except without any steam engines.

Whitby life

Only went for the day this time had a fabulous lunch at Marine the sea food platter excellent. Whitby is a charming sea side town with many good shops and bars.

Easy to use, very informative and enjoyable

Published on Oct, 2024

First time to use this type of app and found it very easy to use. The narrator was excellent, both informative, light hearted and easy to listen to. The whole package is excellent with the ability to pause and rejoin the tour or to listen to the commentary away from the tour to remind yourself about certain facts or stories. Highly recommended and would use similar tours again.

A reet good few hours.

Great audio tour of Whitby. We liked the way it stopped when we stopped for a beer or cake. The narrator was amusing and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Good way to see Whitby

Published on Sep, 2024
