Being locals we thought we knew a lot about Leeds, but the lovely Sarah taught us so much more. Very informative and knowledgeable. Great couple of hours seeing our beautiful city.

Our guide was brilliant. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour interesting and enjoyable, the two hours flew by. Really worth it, and thank you to Sarah for taking us around the major sight of Leeds!

Tour Guide - "Michele"|. Met at the Black Prince Statue (City Square) and she gave us a history of Leeds, how it started and then developed into the city it is today. The tour takes you on a two hour walk around the area, explaining the buildings, and the identities who made Leeds prosper. Excellent tour from a very knowledgeable guide. Thanks Michele.

Michele Thompson was our guide for the day and took us for a 2-hour walk around Leeds, enthusiastically detailing the historical significance of different locations and taking us back to Leeds in the Industrial Revolution with her vivid stories. I highly recommend this tour for anyone new to Leeds or looking to explore the city in a day

Michele was superb. Took us from old Leeds to the present Leeds. The transition of Leeds and importance of each landmark which bought Leeds on the map of United Kingdom.
