This is a great tour that I recommend for everyone visiting Leeds, but also local people. Although I am living in Yorkshire, I learned so much on this tour. Sarah is an excellent guide - so knowledgeable and engaging.

I visited Leeds with some friends for the first time to see a concert at the First direct arena. As we were only staying for a couple of days we decided to book this walking tour and we are so glad we did. Our tour guide, Sarah, was so engaging and in the 1.5 hours we felt we had a good understanding of the history of Leeds. Sarah showed us the main points of interest but more importantly she described everything in an entertaining way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Leeds. Yes you can use a map to easily walk about, but nothing beats being shown around by a local guide who is passionate and knowledgeable about the city.

Sarah has a deep knowledge and love of everything Leeds, a warm and inviting manner, and her enthusiasm is infectious. She brought Leeds’ Victorian age to life with vivid depictions of the economics, social constructs, politics, personalities, architecture and art that created and adorn the city today. She was generous with her time, and also sent us a raft of excellent recommendations based on our interests after the tour. She get’s a 10 from us!
Quirky facts!

This was a great little walking tour. There were just 3 of us so it was extra-friendly and we could all chip in and ask questions along the way. Leeds is a city full of beautiful buildings and it was interesting to learn some of the quirkier facts. Thanks to Mollie for sharing her enthusiasm for Leeds with us.
