‘ One of the best things I did on my recent trip to York was to book The Yorkshire Tour Guide ! Howard drove us all over the place - accommodating our own requests as well as adding things he thought we would like. He was right every time. His knowledge of the area was incredible and we loved all the stories as we travelled through the countryside and tiny villages. Yorkshire is really a beautiful place and we wouldn't have seen what we did without Howard in charge. We also loved our bespoke walking tour of York. John was entertaining and very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job orienting us in this lovely city. Highly, highly recommend The Yorkshire Tour Guide - we’ll be back ! ‘

‘ We had two perfect days driving through the indescribable beauty of the Yorkshire Dales with our guide, Howard. We had been fine-tuning this private tour via email for several months, so when we arrived there was nothing left to do but sit back and enjoy. We had told Howard that we wanted to experience the "real" All Creatures Great and Small and Howard was uniquely suited to this task. He not only grew up on a Yorkshire farm, but Alf Wight (James Herriot) was his family's vet. As Howard drove the curving lanes from site to site, he entertained and taught us about the land, life and people of North Yorkshire.
As fans of ACGS for 5 decades, we had so many memories of locations, almost as if we had been there, and suddenly here we were.
The phrase "dream come true" is over-used - but I assure you that is exactly what we experienced ‘

' Howard is one of the best guides I have ever come across in my years of travelling across 51 countries. An ex police officer his knowledge of Yorkshire is personal with amazing stories. A knowledgeable and congenial person, he listened to what I wanted to see and planned two brilliant days in the Dales and Moors. He is a joy to travel with. I loved his flexibility in planning. Trust me, leave the planning to him and you will have one of the best days of travel. I cannot recommend him enough. '
