    Fantastic day out!

    Had a really enjoyable day out! The tour guides name was Greg? he was very helpful and friendly and ready to answer any questions you had. The first stop of the day was Byland Abbey, stopped to have a look around and take photos, Greg told us the history of the abbey which was interesting to find out. We next went on to Helmsley and had around half an hour there, lovely for a quick sightseei of the castle and trip to a local bakery to scoff myself silly haha! We also made stops at Hutton le Hole and on the North Yorkshire Moors to get snaps of the amazing scenery! Highlight of the day for me was Staithes! A beautiful , picturesque fishing village. I was quite excited about visiting here as its a filming location for Old Jack's Boat, a kids tv show on cbeebies my little boys used to watch! I had time to have a little wander and have a coffee sat in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful views of the harbour. Then came an hour and half stop at Whitby, Ive been many times before, has to be one of my fav places in the UK due to the gorgeous views across the harbour and being quite fond of the story Dracula, haha and loving the coast it's everything rolled into one for me! Last we stopped at Robin Hoods bay, again such a beautiful view from the top across the bay and a very steep hill down to the harbour is such fun! Wait till you have to walk back up! Hahaha! A fantastic memorable day out!, had the most wonderful time, thank you! Would highly recommend going on one of Gregs tours! Thanks again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Jenny for this amazing revue. It means so much to me, especially when its from someone so familiar with the area. It was a pleasure meet you and im overjoyed you had such a memorable day. Thank you. Greg

    North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for York.

    How much does North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay cost?

    +

    Prices start at $121 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in York is not rushed.

    Is North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in York and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does North York Moor day trip incl Whitby, Staithes & Robin Hoods Bay start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in York?

    +

    On Outty we rank every York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe, The Deathly Dark Tour of York, Shadows of York: Ghost Walk and Horrible History.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit York?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
