The Dales tour was the highlight of my trip to York. Barry, our guide for the day, is an absolute gem -- he was very conscientious about every traveler and had a wealth of information to share at every stopping point. The landscape was breathtaking, there were plenty of stops for photos and plenty of gentle walking opportunities throughout the day too. The coach was clean and well-maintained and everything about the tour was easy and relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful day!

John was our guide on October 1st. He did a great job driving in bad weather, and narrating facts and historical vignettes into a coherent arc. I appreciated the word studies and etymologies he shared about place names. John was funny without making jokes, told uplifting stories, and added (appropriately) personal experience to establish context for some of the sites visited. We covered a lot of ground in the Dales. John’s patience with a bus of senior citizens, intelligence and creativity of presentation made the day enjoyably fun.

Ben was an excellent driver and a very friendly and personable tour guide. He had almost lexical knowledge, which he conveyed to his guests competently and understandably. Maybe a little break sometimes would have been relaxing for everyone, but the entertainment factor was very high. We would travel with him again at any time and highly recommend him.

The trip was excellent and insightful. Our tour guide/driver John was very knowledgeable and very articulate. Enjoyed his commentaries that made the dales and vales come alive for us. Yorkshire Dales are steeped in history and John’s narration gave us eyes to see. Wonderful trip!
