Anita_S, Aug 2025
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.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Anita, really glad the day delivered — agreed, it really does take you through so many of the filming locations, and the guide's enthusiasm for the show came through clearly because it genuinely is one of his favourites to give. Travelling out from the Lake District rather than York also means a shorter, more direct route into the heart of the Dales, with more time spent at the locations themselves rather than on the road. Thank you for the recommendation.

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!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Johnny, what a lovely thing to read — thank you! So glad Tim's expertise and humour made the day enjoyable even beyond the show itself. The Dales really are a hidden gem, and being able to reach them so easily from the Lake District means you get two completely different landscapes in one trip without having to base yourself anywhere else. Thrilled you had such a wonderful time — thanks so much for this!

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.
