Overview

Discover Yorkshire with Greg – Your Personal Guide to the Heart of the Moors. Step aboard a truly personal, private tour of North Yorkshire with Greg, your guide for the day. Follow the itinerary or adapt it to your own.
For between 1-7 guests, Greg offers a relaxed, friendly experience that you won’t find with larger tour operators, Greg brings the region's history and culture to life with fascinating stories and insider knowledge.
The day (or days) are entirely yours, so we can go totally 'off script' and tailor the time to your requirements or of course adjust the 'suggested' itinerary as you prefer.
Your time will be filled with stunning landscapes, charming villages and, of course, the coastal town where you will enjoy some free time. Whether you're snapping photos of the moors, or chatting with Greg about local life, you'll find this tour is as much about the journey as it is about the destination – a relaxed and engaging experience for your private group. Check out our reviews!
