We always try to book a guided tour in cities we visit and this Leeds tour was excellent. Annabella arrived promptly and introduced herself. She had a good knowledge of Leeds, its history and development. She was clear on her guiding instructions and pointed out many interesting points on the way. She was clearly enthusiastic about certain features on the tour and obviously enjoys living in Leeds.
