Bess was an excellent guide and passionate about Leeds. We had such an interesting tour of important landmarks including the tiled hall, town hall, hospital, museum, library, oldest pub and corn market. Lots of extra facts were thrown in and questions answered… we loved the corn market and reason for the opaque glass roof! Thank you so much…

Bess (the guide) was a real pleasure, she was kind and very knowledgeable and her passion of the city shined thru and made it a splendid experience. Very much recommend it to anyone new to Leeds and locals as well, as you’ll learn interesting things about places you see regularly you’d never expect :)

Tour and guide was fantastic! The guide, Bess, made the tour informational and fun. We were able to hit all the highlights in Leeds within the alloted time, and the final stop was a perfect location for lunch afterwards :)

Two hours of excellent value for money. Michel was very knowledgeable about the content of her tour and delivered it in an engaging way. I leant a lot about Leeds and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Our guide Bess was warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made the time fly by and provided interesting information. She is a great ambassador for Leeds. I highly recommend her
