Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Spectacular experience with a very knowledgeable guide! Winding along Yorkshire roads in a premium luxury Mercedes was breathtaking, and the humor and personality of our guide enhanced our journeys. Andrew went above and beyond, taking us to locations off the beaten path to give us a fuller experience of the Yorkshire Dales. I highly recommend Expedition Yorkshire!

Our tour of Bronte Country with Expedition Yorkshire was the highlight of our week-long stay in York. Our guide, Andrew, begins each tour by asking about the specific interests of his visitors. Concern for their comfort and safety is always paramount. 



Nowhere else in England have we seen the kind of beauty we saw that day. The setting was enhanced by Andrew’s love of the terrain and broad knowledge of the history. When we visited Haworth, the village home of the Brontes, the novels by Emily and Charlotte came to life. We stepped back in time while Andrew told stories about the Bronte family and described their lives. Our day-long tour was spiced with lively conversation with Andrew, along with a good dash of English humor.



Too many visitors to England miss the unique character of Yorkshire and we’re so glad that we had this experience. Without reservation, we recommend Expedition Yorkshire for your next trip to England.

Andrew is an excellent driver with a luxury vehicle who took his time giving interesting background as we passed points of interest. He’s knowledgeable and relaxed - no canned speech - and loves to answer questions. He was very willing to accommodate our unusual destination request and added in worthwhile stops along the way. One of my favorite things about the day was a restaurant he suggested that had the best English toffee sticky pudding we had the whole trip!

Dear Nancy It was an absolute pleasure having you and your group onboard for your completely custom tour where the objective was to see Puffins, it was absolutely marvellous that the Puffins and many other rare sea birds obliged and came out to play right in front of us within the stunning, dramatic and incredible rugged Cliff scenery that Yorkshire is blessed with in abundance. Huge thanks for placing your trust with Expedition Yorkshire in our early days, it's beyond respected and appreciated. Expedition Yorkshire and myself hope its not too long until you return to Yorkshire and the North of England. Kindest regards, Andrew

We had an absolutely fantastic tour of York and the surrounding area with Andrew. The tour was informative and entertaining and Andrew showed us the highlights of York city centre as well as taking us to some lovely view points across the Yorkshire countryside, filling us in on the interesting history of the area. His vehicle was extremely comfortable with ample leg room and plenty of space for luggage, and Andrew himself was very friendly and personable.

We had a wonderful time and would thoroughly recommend doing a tour with Andrew and Expedition Yorkshire.

“Andrew gave us a very special trip in Yorkshire. He put together a fantastic programme including his tour of York. Wonderful countryside and pretty villages on our way over to the small town of Masham in Wensleydale with its Saturday market, breweries and great lunch places. Then, at my request, he took us over the moors via Swinton Castle and the villages of Fearby and Healey to Upper Nidderdale and its remote massive reservoirs. This was special for me because my Grandparents lived up there in the 1930s and again in the 1970s. A little known, wild but ruggedly beautiful place, not easy to reach, but great to see it again. Then back down the Dale to Pateley Bridge and back to York past Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey and Ripon Cathedral. Andrew is a terrific guide, flexible and resourceful in meeting our needs and requests.”

Dear Dave This was our companies first custom Yorkshire roots trip and it was a pleasure to be able to deliver a tour that went to all the right places and exceeded all expectations. The Upper Nidderdale is incredible beautiful and it was such good luck that the weather obliged all day. I was fascinated to hear how your grandparents were part of a courageous community that built the dam within such difficult remote and stark terrain, it is a brilliant heroic and fascinating piece of Yorkshire History. I'd like to offer my sincere thanks for choosing Expedition Yorkshire when you wanted to experience more of your family's rich and fascinating history in Yorkshire. Warmest regards, Andrew

Best experience of our trip exploring North England. York and the surrounding countryside are a real gem that we wouldn't have had the chance to see if we hadn't done this tour.

Andrew was a really excellent guide, full of stories and insights. The vehicle was super comfortable and meant Andrew could take us to some stunning spots we would never have seen otherwise.

Well worth including as part of any trip in and around Yorkshire.

Hi Mark Thanks so much for taking the time to review the tour, I'm glad you had such a great time. It's great that you also noted the quality of the vehicle Expedition Yorkshire uses. It's a state of the art Mercedes V class. When founding the company we selected this vehicle for the simple reason that it gives a higher quality of experience to the guest than any other vehicle on the market, it has huge windows for taking photos, you sit high for great views and the ride is extremely smooth with very low levels of cabin noise making it very easy to hear Andrew when he is talking about Yorkshire, a subject he is knowledgeable and passionate about. Expedition Yorkshire looks forward to welcoming you and your friends again soon in the wonderful north.

Andrew Oh my what a great adventure. Family and friends traveled to the UK and Andrew spent two days with us in the Northumberland Region. He met us at the train station and our adventure began. My daughter and I were the only ones of the six traveling who had been in this region before or to England. Andrew took the itinerary we planned and his combined made the trip great. Sites I hadn't seen before parts of Hadrian's Wall and hiking, Bamburgh Castle and beaches, beautiful countryside. Andrew was most attentive to our timeframes and wishes. We requested to spend a night in Chillingham Castle England's most haunted castle and he accommodated us perfectly. Took us the next day to Edinburgh so we could tour the city and we took the train back to London. Andrew is so knowledgeable, relaxed guide, great sense of humor. He set the standard for the next 19 days of European travels and guides to live up to. You cannot go wrong with him. We ate at quaint pubs with local cuisine and in Northumberland the best Fish and Chips I ever eaten. Andrew will be our guide for the next visit to the northern parts of England yet to be seen.

Dear Dalene It was great to read your detailed, lovely and generous reveiw. I am glad that you, your family and your friends enjoyed the tour so much, I am acutely aware that people's holiday/vacation time is so incredible valuable therefore I always try and honour this fact when I plan or lead a tour by always striving to improve, develop and better every element of the tour over time. Looking forward to welcoming you back to the North of England in the not too distant future. Andrew

We had a wonderful trip to the Yorkshire Dales. Andrew is a terrific guide. He has great knowledge about the history, geography, and culture of the region. Thanks to his expert guidance, we were able to see some amazing sights while avoiding the tourist traps. Each little bridge or piece of crumbling wall has its own fascinating bit of history, as Andrew explained to us. We felt that we were living in one of Herriot's novels!

Andrew is very flexible in the itineraries he proposes, and has something for everyone's taste. His tours are strongly recommended!

We had an absolutely lovely trip through the Yorkshire dales up to Edinburgh. The scenery was unbelievably beautiful and the stops along the way were well chosen.

Our guide, Andrew, was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. A bonus (in my book) was the comfort of the van and the safe and moderate pace of the driving. At no point was I quietly praying for my life!

We definitely recommend this tour company. 5 stars plus!

Andrew is an amazing guide whose knowledge of the Yorkshire dales is unparalleled. A lot of guides we have used would give a “plug and play” tour and what separates Andrew from the rest is that he caters and individualizes the tour to each group (in our case we are a couple traveling from the US). I have traveled extensively around the world and he is simply the best. I recommend Andrew and his company without reservation and would certainly book a tour with him again. You will be happy you did!
