History in Leeds

“Of all the times we’ve been to York and Halloween approaching, myself and teen daughter decided that we must do a ghost walk. We researched a few and decided on this one…. -We, were not disappointed! Our tour was 6pm on 30th October. Not one complaint or one suggestion, as we found it absolutely fantastic. Literally, from start to finish. Our tour guide, A-mazing!! A job very well done indeed. Engaging, spoke clearly, informative, humorous, safety aware when proceeding on foot around the city and tried to speak with everyone in the group. The amount of knowledge this lady had about, York, Yorkshire and the history was quite remarkable. We loved it. Thank you so much.”

“Today we were visiting York Dale's tour with Trevor, our guide and driver. Everything was simply top-notch! The stories he told were captivating and revealed secrets of places no one else would have guessed (like the wood-carved mice on the benches in the old church). The guide had an answer to every question, even the most tricky, that suggests about his deep knowledge of Yorkshire history and his many years of experience. Also, the breathtaking views from the panoramic windows of the bus are truly remarkable. Sheep, cows, and the occasional bird were all self-appointed actors who performed their roles perfectly, on 10/10.”

“We had a wonderful day out on the Steam train, Whitby & the moors tour. Chris was a fantastic tour guide, full of interesting facts and information. The small group made it feel more personal as if you have a private tour guide. The trip across the moors was spectacular! The views breathtaking and Chris would stop off at points where we could get out and take pictures or just take in the amazing scenery. The whole day was brilliant, topped off with the Steam Train journey! I would highly recommend this trip with Chris. Thank you for a fantastic day.”

“We were recommended Michael at Heritage Travel by friends of ours who had enjoyed a series of amazing holidays organised by him. It had been a long time since we’d been on holiday and didn’t really know what we wanted. After a meeting with Michael he put together a perfect holiday package for us to Mauritius. Along the way due to some issues with our original hotel, Michael got us an upgrade to an even better hotel which was a lovely surprise. We stayed in contact throughout the holiday (which was fabulous by the way) and Michael gave us the heads up that Emirates were offering amazing deals on upgrades for the flights home so we ended the most perfect holiday in some considerable style. Can’t wait for Michael’s suggestions for our next holiday!”

“Stunning apartments! I also had the honour of meeting the developers who are some of the most ethical, thoughtful people I have ever met. These guys are truly changing the property developer stereotype.”

“ust had an amazing meal at Corarima in Wakefield. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish had its own unique flavour, and you could tell everything was super fresh and healthy too. Honestly couldn’t fault it. All vegan. The guy who runs it is really friendly and took the time to explain what everything was, which was really helpful. Service was spot on. Oh and the decor is lovely as well — really nicely put together, it’s got a calm, welcoming vibe. Can’t wait to go back. Honestly don’t know why I haven’t been sooner!”

“First time using the garage as my old one turned me away when i asked about approved parts for my warranty to remain valid and Thorpe brothers gave me a really decent quote, friendly and made sure all my documents were ready including signing service book so everything was done for me collecting it . Will definitely use them again also in a good location easy to get to !”

“Harry is amazing. He told us lots of interesting facts about Harrogate and showed us all the sites. He had everybody engaged and even had a little dog bowl of water for Brownie xx”

“Terrific trip to Cuba. Everything was well organized. Can’t recommend Alex strongly enough. He is superb with great attention to detail and a wonderful “can do” attitude. Miguel and Reyno (spelling?) were superb drivers.”

“Excellent tour with an engaging guide. Kirsty was warn and friendly and took us around some places we would never have found. We tasted jambalaya, beautiful Syrian food, amazing cheeses and delicious Portuguese pastries. A great way to see York and experience something different. Highly recommend.”

“Definitely go and visit !!! So much fun and all the boys are well cared for.”

“Would 10000% recommend The Hovels to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Josh was an absolute star from start to finish, he went above and beyond for us and the planning process could not have been easier. The whole team at the Hovels were lovely on the day and everything ran so smoothly. The venue and grounds are beautiful and the cottages round the corner are so handy too! The food was incredible, so many guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had and there was plenty to go round too so nobody was left hungry. We also really appreciated that there were no extra hidden costs after booking and we never felt pressured to add on additional extras either! We absolutely had the best day we could've imagined and were so happy with our choice to get married at the Hovels ❤️”

“Such a lovely place! We shared falafel wrap, Baba ganoush and dolma. We ate at the bar and received complementary tea. V friendly, thank you!”

“My favourite breakfast spot in Leeds. As a lebanese, I would confidently say that this place offers authentic manaqeesh!! Just like home! Ordered the minced meat and the zaatar and cheese manaqeesh. Highly recommended!! Support small businesses!”

“Unbelievably helpful staff, fresh fruit and a really lovely wholesome vibe. I will be shopping here again very soon”

“We’ve had the pleasure of staying at Harewood Holidays several times now, and each visit feels like coming home. The cottages are set in an incredibly peaceful location within the expansive grounds of Harewood House, surrounded by nature and overseen by on-site security—offering both serenity and a sense of safety. The many walking paths throughout the estate are perfect for long, relaxing strolls and a chance to truly unwind. Our two Labradors were always warmly welcomed and enjoyed their time just as much as we did. A heartfelt thank you goes to Felicity, whose communication has always been exceptionally kind, helpful, and professional. She truly makes the experience even more special. We’re already looking forward to our next stay at Harewood Holidays—a place that beautifully combines comfort, tranquillity, and genuine hospitality.”

“Really friendly and helpful owners. Greeted with cafetiere coffee and homemade biscuits on arrival, range of snacks in the room, which was super comfortable and clean. Fab!”

“Amazing historic building, lovely comfy seats, some great films including African and Palestinian films, and excellent staff. I regularly travel from York to attend screenings. (Snacks could be better and please get good decaf coffee but hey I'm picky :-) )”

“Looking to get back into TVR ownership, had a good chat and they had plenty of good advice and time for me. Will definitely use them for servicing and god forbid any other work!”

“Outstanding barbers. Took my elderly father in for a trim. They couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful and patient. He got a great cut with fantastic service - highly recommended.”

“Visiting the area, and found this place, marvellous selection of craft beer. Family run, very good service by all. Highly recommended.”

“We highly recommend BOB tours! We spent an amazing day out with Mark on the Yorkshire Dales National Park tour. We loved being in a smaller group, and unlike those big bus tours, we were able to understand perfectly everything Mark said through his microphone. The tour guides at this small company build the tours around key stops with added elements based on their own experience and knowledge of the area. This meant that our guide was able to rearrange stops according to the weather that day and add in a few stops based on what he learned about the interests of our particular group. Aside from the incredible beauty of the area, we also enjoyed learning from Mark’s deep well of knowledge to improve our understanding of the history, culture and economy of the area. Our one regret was that we didn’t think to have cash on hand to tip our tour guide. Tips are not expected but if you take one of these tours you will see how hard the guides work and appreciate the thoughtful personal touches they bring to your experience. We think you will want to thank your guide with a tip!”

“I had a great experience, I’ve been coming to Cads for a few years and Amy is always friendly. I trust Amy completely with my hair and trust her input if I ever consider doing a different style! I would recommend anyone in York to go to Cads of Micklegate”

“Absolutely smashing 5-stars experience! Spooky, funny, embracing stories told by amazing actors - just an extraordinary worthwhile attraction that you have to treat yourself in York!”

“Sam's micro pub. Had a great evening. Very family-friendly place. Dog friendly.”

“Really tidy place, great little layout, staff was lovely and the food was banging and wasn't even expensive Got large breakfast and they didn't disappoint.”

“I have used Yorkshire Kilts a number of times over the past few years, both for highland wear hire and suit tailoring. Each experience has been second to none, in my opinion. Martin is friendly and engaging, whilst professionally understanding my needs, matching these to a suitable package. His services are always prompt and communication good, all at very reasonable prices. A great business with great products and a superb ethos of customer service!”

“Amazing breakfast, sausages are beautiful. Big portion Staff very friendly especially the owner. Locals in cafe were friendly and informative about things going on. Highly recommend a visit”
