Fabulous, we would take this tour again! - 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.
