Sarah, that showed us around Leeds yesterday, was very knowledgeable & made the tour very enjoyable. Gave us a great insight into the history & things to look out for & an enthusiasm to go back to explore more places visited in depth i.e. we went & had lunch in the tiled cafe at the Leeds art gallery, which is an amazing room.

Really enjoyable experience. Brilliant tour guide, knowledgable, fun and made everyone feel welcome. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy, walking, history and a good look around!

Sarah was excellent…We loved the tour and the history of Leeds was fascinating…I will book again with friends who loved what I had to say about it…

Michelle was very pleasant and had an excellent recall of historical names and facts. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to her.
