Always private, never shared
A premium Yorkshire day tour with Expedition Yorkshire is a private, full-day experience for up to 7 guests in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class with panoramic windows and elevated seating. You're collected from your York hotel, guided by a local expert, and the day is paced entirely around your group. From £985 per group, including VAT.

Why private, why direct
Comfort you feel, not a label
We'd rather show it than say it: the quiet of the cabin, the view from the high seats, a guide whose recommendations make the day.
“Honestly the best day of our holiday. Our guide knew every corner of the moors — and the van was spotless.”
“We heard their founder Andrew on a podcast and knew we wanted to try Expedition Yorkshire. It was a first-class experience every step of the way.”
Good to know
Your questions, answered
Yes — completely. You book the whole vehicle, not a seat, so it's only ever you and your group for the full day. You never share with strangers.
Per group. One price covers your whole party of up to seven — so £985 across four guests is about £246 each for a private full day, with hotel pickup and a dedicated driver-guide.
Up to seven guests travel in the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. The price is the same whether there are two of you or seven.
Door-to-door from your York hotel or the railway station, at a time that suits you — usually around 9am. Pickup outside York can often be arranged; just tell us where you're staying when you enquire.
Absolutely. The day is yours. Tell us what you'd most like to see and we'll shape the route and pace around your group.
Popular dates in summer and autumn fill early, so the sooner the better — but do get in touch even at short notice and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
A private Mercedes-Benz V-Class, an expert local driver-guide for the full day, hotel pickup and drop-off in York, and a route built around you. Entrance fees and meals are extra and easy to arrange.
