Per one customer who booked the Yorkshire Dales Day Trip from York, "This was an amazing day trip from York. We saw and learned so much about the beautiful Yorkshire Dales on this tour from our wonderful tour guide, Mark. There were plenty of stops at pretty villages like Pateley Bridge and Kettlewell, and some off-the-road viewpoints for great photos of the scenic landscape. Wensleydale Creamery was also a nice stop—we sampled tasty cheeses and had a good lunch at the restaurant."
