Chris was very personable and knowledgeable. I loved taking the backrooms and getting a smaller, more intimate experience from someone so familiar.

Chris was an excellent and knowledgeable guide and the small size of the tour excellent to have the best views of the Dales. It was all stunning. I love James Herriot so enjoyed Thirsk and all the references to the filming as we went along the tour. The scenery was very special and the Devonshire pub an ideal lunch spot.

We met John S the tour guide and driver for All Creatures Great and Small Tour, York UK, Duncombe Pl on Sept 29. From the moment he met the group he confirmed whether folks waiting were or were not with the correct tour. He was so friendly and welcoming. First, it was evident John is a safe and confident driver. He began with clear instructions about safety and seat belts. He outlined the tour and the day. He is so knowledgeable and such a great speaker. We are from America and have had some trouble understanding people in the UK. John has a beautiful speaking voice and accent. John pointed out so many interesting details about topography, history of the Yorkshire Dales, James Herriot, each village we visited. He was patient the two times people were only a bit behind schedule. He’s a wealth of knowledge. We went on many tours in this three week trip. John S was the best tour guide we had on any of them. He is actually very polite and somewhat elegant in his speech. It was such a highlight of our UK bucket list trip to enjoy this tour with such a professional and entertaining tour guide. Can’t thank John S enough. John and Janice

This was my wife's dream trip and have to say it became same for me. Our driver Chris was incredibly informational and entertaining.

We enjoyed our 4 nights at the Grand. The room was spacious and modern with old-world charm. The employees were welcoming and eager to please. The restaurants excellent. It truly enhanced our enjoyment of York and Yorkshire to stay in this elegant and conveniently located accommodation.

Our day with Grand Yorkshire was a dream come true! We were picked up promptly at our hotel in York by our exceptional guide, Chris. Chris did an outstanding job communicating throughout the booking process to include details, itinerary, and even place lunch orders at the Drover’s Arms in order to maximize our tour time.He even reserved our dining spot in the “All Creatures” room.Our first stop at the World of James Herriot Museum was a delightful way to begin our day. Being in a small group tour with 2 other couples allowed for plenty of photo stops along our route to the breathtaking scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and the famous scenes from the show including Grassington (Darrowby), Helen’s farm, and the church where James and Helen’s wedding took place. Chris even had the music from the show playing in the background as we stopped to admire the stunning vistas, After a Wensleydale Creamery stop to enjoy fresh cheese samples, we traveled back to York after our glorious day together. If you are a fan of the show, this is the tour for you, and Chris and Grand Yorkshire tours provide excellent service!

Chris our driver, sure gave us a full, gorgeous scenery day driving through the Dales. With the group being smaller, Chris personalized the day to our interests. He was very knowledgeable on the area, and drove with great skills navigating the narrow roads. We would book this tour again with Chris

Chris, our guide, was so wonderful, he knew the area and the history so well. He was right on time picking us up at the hotel. We saw many places a large tour bus would not be able to go. It was great only having a group of 6! We had many stops to take pictures and even had a few extra stops because we were a little ahead of time. There was no rush at all, we got to take our time a day see everything. I highly recommend this tour company!

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, this was a fantastic Day out and the Steam Train was Amazing

Excellent tour overall.comfortable small vehicle great guide .saw all the sights and a nice steam train journey.highly recommended. Five stars 🤩

Pete was terrific in his knowledge and love of the Yorkshire Dales and Herriot country. Exceeded expectations and his special bonus side trips were a surprise fun learning experience.

We really enjoyed this full day adventure. Good guide with high knowledge about the area and full of interesting stories about the Dales as well. Fantastic, scenic views enhanced by the good weather. We fully recommend this trip.

This was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only James Herriot, but also the Dales, the local scenery and attractions, the architecture, etc. Marvelous scenery and so much local knowledge. It was a lovely way to really experience the countryside of England. Chris was flexible to everyone’s needs and interests and made sure we were all comfortable and happy. Highly recommended!

Hotel pick up and drop off is a welcome luxury. This small group tour in a comfortable van took us all over to see so many beautiful sites including the James Herriot museum in Thirsk which is lovely and well cared for with lots of cool historical artifacts on display. Pete knows the area well and you certainly want HIM driving those tiny roads into oncoming traffic. Plenty of stops along the way with interesting commentary made for a delightful day. He arranged for us to preorder lunch at a pub in Grassington which expedited things and was quite good. A highlight of our trip.

We had a great private tour with Chris, who picked us up from our hotel in York and made the day truly memorable. Chris’s expert driving and thoughtful guidance set the tone for a wonderful adventure. Our first stop was Fountains Abbey, which was a stunning start to the day. We then enjoyed the Swaledale walk from Keld to Muker, reaching a breathtaking viewpoint about 20-30 minutes into the trail before turning back. Following that, Chris took us to the impressive Hardraw Force and wrapped up our tour with a quick visit to the iconic Ribblehead Viaduct. Chris’s friendly demeanor and smooth driving made the entire experience seamless, and we appreciated his attention to detail as he drove us back to our hotel. This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
