Nice surprises and sheep sightings are always included!

Can't make a higher recommendation for anyone than I would give Andrew for our fantastic four days with Andrew. We learned so much as he was filled with information that was interesting and important. Andrew met four of us at Bradford airport and we proceeded to the train to take us to Hayworth to see the Bronte church and parsonage as well as cemetery. He recommended lunch which was perfect in town. Then on to Bradford where he had us for two days on my family genealogy tour. He arranged for genealogist to help me discover another generation before we went and then to meet with her and see the documents. The next day he had the president of Undercliffe Cemetery take us on a tour of the amazing Victorian cemetery filled with history and to see the tombstone of my great great grandparents. The next day he took us to Saltaire, a woolmaking factory that included housing and health care away from the pollution of Bradford, now shops and site of David Hockney art work. Then a full day to the North Sea and Whitby along the Yorkshire Moors. He told us to look for a perfect view of Whitby as we came into town and wandered the cemetery and ruined abbey. He gave our daughter and granddaughter time to walk the pier to the end to stand right at the North Sea. The following day he drove us to the Cotswolds where the rest of the family met under the able planning by our next guide, Tom Benjamin from Go Cotswolds. If you want personalized tours, I can only give highest ratings to Andrew Ward of ExpeditionYorkshire and Tom Benjamin from Go Cotswolds. Our days in England were so enhanced by their care, concern, knowledge and superb suggestions of what to see and do.What a wonderful day!

What a wonderful day! Andrew took a small group, including my wife and me, on a trip from York, through Yorkshire and over the moors to Whitby on the North Sea - then back to York via the Harry Potter train station and Castle Howard. The route was carefully constructed, but Andrew was willing to adjust based on the group's wishes. The trip was informative and fun. We hope to get back to the area and will certainly talk to Andrew about another tour. Worth every penny!A great day out with Andrew!!! The Mercedes is very spacious and comfortable and the snacks were amazing too. We saw a lot of Yorkshire in a short time, and Andrew is very knowledgeable and passionate about the places. I would highly recommend his tours to anyone and I would attend again.

We spent an amazing day with Andew, the best day of our trip to the UK. Andrew has a warm, engaging personality which quickly makes you feel comfortable. He readily shares his comprehensive knowledge of the area, taking lesser known roads that lead to interesting sites that no guide book will ever include and most others would bypass. He took us through small towns, regaling us with their history and interesting stories. He knows the best cafes and restaurants in which to get refreshed. He was always willing to stop so that we could take in the views or capture images. We never felt rushed at any point; it was like taking a journey with a good friend. We would highly recommend Expedition Yorkshire tours to anyone.Three generations of my family (aged from 11 to 82) took a wonderful full day tour last month with Expedition Yorkshire, which included the Yorkshire moors, Staithes, Whitby, Goathland, and so many more places.

Three generations of my family (aged from 11 to 82) took a wonderful full day tour last month with Expedition Yorkshire, which included the Yorkshire moors, Staithes, Whitby, Goathland, and so many more places. Andrew was friendly, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. He listened to our requests and planned a tour for us that included all the places where we wanted to go, but then added so many extra stops along the way, showing us beautiful places we would never have thought of visiting, or been able to get to by ourselves. It really was the highlight of our visit, and I highly recommend this company.Our family day tour to North Yorkshire Moors and Whitby with Andrew was excellent! Very knowleadgeable guide, friendly and all the places we visited were amazing. Super recommended!
