Chris – United Kingdom

My Favourite part was the Cheese tasting and the overall freedom we had to explore on the trip

J
Jennifer – United Kingdom

The trip was fabulous, stopped at an extra viewpoint for photos as it was such a clear day and had a stop in Masham too as Bolton Castle is closed now for winter. Our guide Mark was very informative and friendly. He also gave us good food recommendations for when we came back into York. Overall a fabulous day out and well worth doing this trip.

Our tour guide, Mark, MADE this trip! The scenery was gorgeous, of course, but Mark was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and funny. My sister claims that it was the best tour she’s ever taken!
