Fun Informative historic self guided audio tour of Whitby

Jessica_P, May 2024

We loved this little self guided audio tour. It afforded the ability to stop whenever we wanted and take in the sights. The guide was fun & very knowledgeable. We learned many things we would have had no idea about had we not been told by a local. Thanks so much!!!

Good summary tour

Amanda_M, Dec 2023

Good tour & nice manner. Pointed out things we’d have missed otherwise. Just needs updating slightly (we did the tour in December 23 -Cook Museum closed down & sculpture at the end of the pier apparently gone).

Super Whitby

traci_p, Apr 2022

Whitby is a lovely town with a lot to do and see. Great atmosphere and great fish and chips! Beware the seagulls, they like them too!

Professional tour at your own pace

Dafydd_W, Mar 2022

The whole experience was amazing, knowing where to go and what it is we were looking at. We rely got to see the hidden bits of Whitby that without the tour we'd struggle to find.

Very interesting and exhaustive tour and very prepared guide!

Chiara_C, Dec 2021

The tour was really interesting, the right mix of history and curiosities about Whitby. It was a pleasure to listen to the guide

Great place to visit

James_S, Jul 2021

Whitby is amazing, lots of little shops, pubs and restaurant/cafes, busy times of the year or weekends expect a bit of a queue, will be going again. Plenty of B&B's or camping options.
