Our guide did not turn up so seven people who had reserved the time for this tour had wasted it. No compensation offred, just get your money back.

Such a great tour and way to see Leeds and learn about the culture. Our guide did an amazing job at each place giving us interesting stories vs just dates and facts. I really learned a lot and feel more comfortable walking the city now!
