This is a great tour. - The tour was wonderful largely due to Trevor's commentary. A real worlwind but saw many things and learned even more. On the downside Viator was horrible to deal with. Sent an email as I was flying overseas that never appeared and cancelled my confirmed reservation without notice. A long overseas phone call got it fixed.

Pet One Stop - All God's Creatures Great and small. They are in Lenoirm NC. My dog Rip had tb be boarded on short nitice, they agreed and found room. Very nice and people seem to love them. My dog did well, they sent me pictures of him outside playing. He had a suite one night and then a kennel the next bath times by himself. Overall gtrat place to board, cats or dogs, they also to grooming.

Go for the view, stay for the Herriot Museum - The countryside was awesome. The Herriot Museum was incredible--could have spent hours there. John Sherwood (sp?) was top notch as our guide--kept us on track and on time and had lots of interesting stories about the history of the Dales.

A-maz-ing! - John S. was our driver/guide & he was AMAZING! I learned so much from him, he should be a history professor! The history of the Yorkshire Dale's & the scenery was, was, was ... indescribable! I highly recommend.

Great driver/tour guide - Fantastic day out. The driver/tour guide was really excellent. Really nice man and very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this tour to other people who like the series. It was a really good way to see the dales without having to drive yourself.

Fantastic tour - Brilliant tour. We were taken to locations from both the original series & the new series. Our guide spoke almost continually all day & was happy to answer any questions. It was a full day with so many highlights. If you are a lover of the series then this tour is a must do

Amazing tour - We had an amazing time. If you like All creatures great and small would highly recommend it. We had the added bonus of sunshine. The Dales are amazing and get to stop off and see different spots from the old and new series. Ben the tour guide was really good and very knowledgeable of the area and York. You cover 150 miles and minibus is comfortable and has air con.

Great tour and guide, but seat uncomfortable - John S. was a fantastic driver (some of the roads are very narrow) and a knowledgeable guide. He shared a lot of historical and show information. John S. gave constant updates on what happened and when, as well as where we would be going. It really helped us better appreciate the dales. My only minor complaint was about the seat on the mini-coach. It was a 16 seat Mercedes, and we had gone on a different one days before. This one seemed to have slightly narrower seats, and it got a bit uncomfortable with the seat belt buckle poking my thigh, making it difficult to sit comfortably straight on the seat. Didn't have that issue on the earlier mini-coach. Otherwise, a full day of fun.
