Best day tour - Day trip to moors & Whitby with this company was simply the best from start to finish. All on time, lots of information from our amazing guide Ben who didn't stop giving us all the history from this amazing part of u.k. Loved the steam train ride to Whitby, Recommend the fish n chips & mushy peas. Met some good people visiting from U.S.A Recommend to everyone, probably not suitable for children.

Awesome guide and tour! - Mark was a great guide! He starts out by asking everyone’s name and where they are from, which creates a friendly atmosphere right at the beginning. He does a superb job in describing villages along the way as well as much information about the Moors. Appreciated his tips on restaurant options in Whitby. He gets an A++!

A wonderful trip, a history lesson and the best fish and chips! - Me and my son took this trip with Mountain Goat Tours on August 30th. Our driver was John and I think we got so lucky. John made the trip with his humour and facts that he delivered throughout the day. I wish I had recorded all the history he relayed, so knowledgeable. We had the best weather too with sunshine and blue skies. The Mercedes passenger van was v comfortable even when going over the more bumpy trails. Highlights included the Moors and Whitby Bay and thanks to the recommendation from John we ate our fish and chips at the Magpie Cafe, award winning. Lovely! Highly recommended trio and hope you get John as your guide!

Great day in the moors & whitby - What a great day with Mark as our driver and guide. Informative and well paced with a morning and afternoon stop to enjoy local villages (& their baked goods). A longer stop in Whitby which was enough to stroll past the Abbey and through the main shopping laneways plus lunch at the Magpie. Unfortunately we had a pea-soup fog so missed the views. I took the optional extra of a Steam Train trip which was really enough to enjoy the ride while being value for money (compared to similar but pricier tours that seem to price the whole train trip in). Mark was so kind and solicitous of our well being. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Great day out with excellent guide, John - This 8 hour trip was through beautiful and varied countryside. Our driver guide, John was very informative and I learned so much about local history but broader British history as well. Highly recomended.
