Why private, why direct
Based in York for a day or two?
Here's the easy way to see beyond the city walls — door to door, with a local who knows exactly where to stop and why.

“Travelling with three generations, having the whole vehicle to ourselves made the day. The children loved it.”
Good to know
Your questions, answered
Any York hotel, guesthouse or the railway station — door to door. Tell us where you're staying when you enquire.
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.
