In short
One vehicle, chosen with care
Every private tour and transfer runs in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class — a premium seven-seat people carrier chosen for comfort, space and those all-important big windows. It seats up to seven guests alongside your driver-guide, with no one else aboard, and is fully licensed by York City Council. Kept spotless inside and out, it's the ideal way to see Yorkshire without the stress of driving, parking or navigating.

Larger groups
Travelling as a bigger party?
We regularly host groups of up to 14 guests across two Mercedes-Benz V-Class vehicles, each with its own expert driver-guide — so a larger group still enjoys the same private, seamless day. Tell us your numbers and we'll tailor the whole day: one plan, two vehicles, no compromise.
