Tours & Sightseeing

North Yorkshire has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Stone Age.  Home to historic landmarks that span centuries, there is a wealth of tours and sightseeing across the county.

Enjoy a bespoke tour around Grassington, Reeth, Hawes and Leyburn with one of our knowledgeable guides and see historic ruins, experience local history and traditions.  Take in the best of our museums and attractions with a day out to remember as you tour the North Yorkshire countryside.

For budding historians, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site near Ripon or the neolithic Thornborough Henge in Nidderdale. For natural landmarks and gardens, take a tour around RHS Gardens, ruins of abbeys, or head to the Dales to see Malham Cove, as starred in film.

If you prefer to travel on wheels, why not try a bike tour or a self-guided driving tour of the county. Indulge in a Foodie’s paradise and enjoy a food tour in well-known food spots such as Malton, Harrogate and Whitby where your guide will tell the history and stories of great Yorkshire eateries and producers while you sample the true taste of North Yorkshire.
