An awesome experience - Awesome experience walking through the city under the guide of the very hospitable, engaging and knowledgeable Sarah. The trip was exciting and eductaing in equal measure, and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed nature of the tour. It was well worth the time and money spent, even more so as the weather fortunately agreed with us.

Leeds for ever! - Des gave us a very warm welcome on a cold day and brought the whole city to life for the 8 of us. He was very interesting and enthusiastic about his city and happy to give recommendations of further places to see. I strongly recommend booking this tour early in your visit to orientate and liven up your visit.
