Greg was a wonderful...

Michael_B, Apr 2026

Greg was a wonderful driver and guide. The vehicle was easy to spot at the meeting point. Greg was friendly and full of good information, and was also willing to answer our other questions about the region. Whitby is a nice town and there was more than enough time to see the abbey and get fish and chips. There were other nice stops for photos along the moors and in little villages. The steam train was fun as well. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Michael, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this 5 Star review. Im glad there was enough time for you to visit all the attractions and also get some fish and chips. Its very much appreciated. Cheers. Greg

From the Yorkshire Moors to Dracula's coastline

Lee_W, Apr 2026

Being a Yorkshire lad living in Canada for the past twenty years or so I decided to take my family on a little adventure, a this adventure was something else. What an incredible experience it was. Greg was extremely knowledgeable during the entire trip. I saw a whole new side of Yorkshire that I never knew existed. Thank you, Greg. The only thing I would suggest as we are from Yorkshire originally we would’ve liked maybe five or ten minutes in the famous Aidenfield Arms in Goathland before catching the steam train. Still 5/5. Maybe see you again some day in some other adventure. Great job.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you. What a fab review. The fact that you are from Yorkshire really matters and I'm really glad to see you had such a good day. Next time we'll definitely do the Aidensfield arms for you. Thank you again. Greg
