The trip is very good and shows many locations of the films. The driver and guide was very informative and seemed to be into this.

Wonderful place to visit!

Even if you are not a Great Creatures Fan, I know you will enjoy this tour! Tim was an amazing guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his expertise and humor! The Dales are an amazing place to visit!

Would do another tour with the company.

The scenery of the Dales and the descriptions from the excellent tour guide of the geography of the area. Lunch location and food great. The church in which Helen and James got married was beautiful.
