An experience you won’t forget

Great tour and host!

Really enjoyed the tour and Dan was a great storyteller! It was a fantastic way to explore the city and would recommend it especially if you are new to York. Sadly, we had to slip away 10-15 mins before the tour finished as my daughter was feeling unwell so unfortunately missed the end.

Ellie is brilliant

Ellie was amazing and the tour went by fast. Ellie knew her history and made the tour enjoyable as well as keeping the spooky side going even though it was light and the height of Summer. Her humour was spot on and myself and my daughter highly recommend this tour

North York Moors and Whitby Day Tour from York

Dee_G, Jul 2026

Fantastic day tour from York!

Fantastic day trip from York! I was visiting my nephew, who has lived in York for three years, and has wanted to venture to Whitby. This trip included more sights than we expected. Our driver/tourguide, Kevin, was amazing - knowledgeable, kind, and had a great sense of humor. Every stop on this trip was wonderful. The ride on the steam train from Goathland to Whitby took us back in time. Our only recommendation is to include another hour in Whitby! 😊 There’s so much to see there. We explore the Abbey, had a pint at the Whitby Brewery, browsed the Jet shops, and had delicious fish & chips at Trenchers (takeaway due to time). Go on this tour with Mountain Goat Tour, you will not be disappointed!

A Tour Not to Be Missed!!

Lee was a fantastic guide! This tour offered so many amazing adventures in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We were able to see many sites from All Creatures Great and Small, including the village where the show is filmed, Helen‘s father‘s house, and the church that is in many of the scenes. In addition, we saw exceptional scenery, a beautiful waterfall, and ended at the Bolton Castle. This trip is highly recommended for anyone who wants to see the beauty of this area.

Wonderful tour with an excellent guide/driver

Mark, our tour guide, was amazing! His narration, instructions were clear, articulate. & accurate. His driving was attentive & smooth. He was always concerned for our comfort & did all he could to give us a very positive experience. The small group of guests (approx 15) was just the right size for friendly conversations during the day. We even had dinner afterwards with a fellow traveler we met on the bus. We highly recommend this tour.

An absolutely worthwhile way to see and experience North Yorkshire! If you're trying to decide between this and another similar tour, I can confidently say that going with a small group (max 7 people) was worth it. Greg is owner/operator and was a great guide and host. Highly recommend this tour!

York Dungeon Entry Ticket

Ernesta_O, May 2026

First time in a dungeon,...

First time in a dungeon, wasn't really sure what to expect. It was out of the comfort zone booking, but we truly enjoyed. The performances and entertainment was absolutely amazing, kids aging from 7-14 got really engaged. The show wasn't only entertaining, it was informative too, we learn few new facts on local history. Great performances, if you enjoy good sense of humour and don't take offence easily, would really recommend..

Shared York Walking Tour – Hidden Gems & History

Stephen_N, Nov 2025

The most comprehensive York tour in all of York.

Dave is so knowledgable and truly joyful about his history niche that this tour is overloaded with reasons to go. It was unique in that it was open-ended - as long as we wanted to make the tour. He offered an all-day option - though I left after 3 ish hours and a lovely coffee break, during which Dave also demonstrated his James Bond trivia expanse. Rarely does one see someone so enjoying his job.
