Emmerdalevillagetour Reviews

A very very enjoyable tour

A very very enjoyable tour Rob was our tour guide he d only been there 7 weeks but was clearly an Emmerdale fan for a long time as he knew his stuff was outstanding Bright cheery knowledgeable and clear in his directions Couldn t really fault the tour at all We were extremely lucky to have beautiful sunny with a chill weather so walking around wasn t a problem If it s chucking it down being outside for 90 mins or more could be a bit though so check the weather before you arrive and make sure you have a suitable coat with you There s also very few seating areas too so kept that in mind too Coach journey up from the hotel was fine albeit it a little cramped I did think it was a little crowded up there at points With 50 people on each bus and multiple groups being on the set at the same time I did think there were a lot of people around Obviously the tour guides were doing there best not to overrun one group with another but Plenary of merchandising options are available which I did find quite expensive but it s down to choice Just a couple of things to mention if you are booked at Weetwood Hall Hotel because you thought the coach would be picking you up from there we ll they don t now We had to drive another 6 miles to Harewood Estade and park there to pick up the coach which takes to to the secret location The other thing was that I wasn t impressed with the holding area when you get off the coach when you first get there There s a cafe but it was closed but you could get a tea coffee crisps chocolate and of course all the merchandise there But the area just looked untidy cluttered and just a bit of a mess really I just felt it was a disappointing arrival area I suspect when the actors go home at the weeks stuff just gets shuffed away to make room for the merchandise stuff but to me it just looked unprofessional Nevertheless all that was pushed aside literally when you got on the tour Everything is there but you can get to seeing all of it except when you re driving past in the coach like the Dingles Farm Eric Pollards house nor the Sharmins house Neither can you get to see Home Farm as it doesn t exist You can however get to see all the other favourites in the village but you can t go in Having a pic and a pint in the Woolpack wouda bin grande Never mind I ve still got a 100 other pics and memories I ll cherish forever Shame I could have run into Tom His story line would have come to an abrupt end
