Reviews for Leeds Tours
S
Our first visit outside the US, well surpassed all expectations!
I was pleased to cover so much ground and see different English & Scottish sites/cities while learning of the historical significance of each. There was absolutely NO WAY I could have planned such a thorough trip on my own. The Castles, Cathedrals, Cobblestones gave me a true sense of history. The scenic pastures, Highlands made me feel transported far away from Denver, Colorado! British historical novels will now take on a new meaning.
