Great city tour of Leeds - Thanks for the great tour of Leeds. Our young lady showed us all the highlights of the city, had a lot of knowledge about it and answered all our questions. She was seen to love her city and wanted to share it with us.

Super story telling and interesting tour - Bess was our guide and she was the best. Knowledgeable, engaging and super passionate about Leeds, its hertigate, culture and future. Superb stories all along, learned lots and loved the building, mythical masks and owls 🦉 All really interesting. We'd a really sunny day and saw Leeds at its best. Very worthwhile. 🙌😎
