Make a day of the festive season with a private Christmas tour from York, just for your group of up to four guests.

The day starts at Fountains Abbey, where the ruins and water gardens host a seasonal programme in the run-up to Christmas. Next comes the small cathedral city of Ripon, with time for lunch and a wander, before finishing among the historic streets and famous river views of Knaresborough.

The tour lasts around seven hours. Your local driver-guide takes care of the driving and timings, with Christmas music and a chocolate welcome on board.
