Tours of Leeds
Tours of Leeds is run by local enthusiast Mike Hampshire, offering independent walking tours that tell the story of Leeds. I mix local knowledge with years of researching old maps, archives and stories to bring the city's past to life. My guided and audio tours are small, relaxed and welcoming – the real Leeds shared by someone who genuinely loves it.
Guided Tours
Explore Leeds on foot with a local guide — from historic pubs to waterways and city landmarks.
