Wonderful, educational and beautiful day trip! - We did this trip as part of the York residents weekend discount so it was an absolute bargain. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day, and from the very start the whole trip was an education thanks to John’s amazing knowledge of York and all the different places we visited in the stunning Yorkshire dales.
Grassington was beautiful, and lunch at the Wensleydale creamery was faultless.
Don’t hesitate to book on a tour with John, you will learn a lot of interesting things, a lot of history, and be entertained throughout. (And I have to admit to being biased, I am married to him!)

Wonderful Dales even in chilly and damp January - This Dales tour is superb and well recommended. Highlights for me included Grassington and Wensleydale but best of all was the commentary from our guide John who ensured we all enjoyed our day out. Despite rather gloomy and damp January weather we had a fabulous time and you won’t be disappointed if you go as well!

Wonderful day :) - My friend and I were able to visit Byland Abbey, The North Yorkshire Moors, Whitby and Goathland Station (famous for appearing in Harry Potter) all in one day. It was an amazing experience. Our guide John was informative, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much and we learnt some many interesting facts about Yorkshire. We absolutely love it and will be using Mountain Goat Tours again. :)

Best Yorkshire dales experience - Thoroughly enjoyed the Yorkshire Dales trip with the Mountain Goats team! Perfect to sit back, relax, enjoy and LEARN!
Loved the way the tour was curated to suit the weather (Pea soup weather!) Skilful navigating of narrow Yorkshire dales roads whilst sharing carefully curated information by Barry. Enjoyed the quiz towards the end - Won an award for most right answers! Thanks Barry :)
All in all best experience to end the year with!
Big Special mention to Jackie for her very warm and lovely company!!
Best regards, RJ

Lovely and wholesome tour with John S. - We had lovely tour of the Dale's with John S today. John has very deep knowledge of the Dales history. He shared so much information and fun tidbits that made our day. We covered almost all of the important points and he also took us to a lovely inn for lunch. Inspite of misty weather he ensured we made the most of our trip. We would love to come back for more tours with him. Thank you John and keep doing the awesome work.

Gorgeous Yorkshire Dales - I did two tours within 3 days and this tour was the second. I got the same tour guide John. He was delightful once again. The Yorkshire Dales was beautiful and delightful. Saw some cute market towns, an abbey and the visit to Wensley Dale Creamery was heavenly. Got to try some lovely cheese wish I could have taken it home with me. Dales are definitely beautiful part if the country.

Wonderful trip - The view was amazing. The whole arrangement is smooth and packed. Althought it’s a bit rush, but that’s fair enough for a one day tour. The tour guide is experience and friendly. However, it’s a pity that the microphone system is not working that well. So only passenger at the front of the van could listen to the explanation from the tour guide. Passengers of the last three rows could hardly listen to what he said especially when the van is moving. What a shame that we couldn’t learn more about the place and missed the excited history part of the place.
