This was a Christmas gift for my Brother who loves Emmerdale. I was never a fan but after Bev talked us through the locations, even I have started to watch it again after a 25 year break. Bev was full of amazing facts, she was absolutely lovely and appeared to enjoy the tour as much as we did. Thank you so much. XxXx

Booked to go here bank holiday weekend and we loved it! From start to finish our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The coach was lovely and clean but very very hot. We did request the air con on which helped. Loved the Woolpack pub and seeing the church. The kids loved the park too.
