Top Leeds Full-day Tours

Get oriented with Leeds while touring the city on this group tour. You'll learn about the city from a local guide, who will tell you historical facts as you walk from point to point. You’ll visit many of the city's most important attractions, from the Leeds Town Hall to some of the northern city’s many shopping arcades, all in just two hours.

For group sizes of up to 4, 8 or 16 passengers, this Private Day Trip from Harrogate, just for your party, provides the opportunity to spend three hours enjoying Whitby, as well as exploring the scenic and picturesque North York Moors National Park. You will have a full three hours of free time in the fishing port of Whitby on this trip, to see Whitby Abbey (inspiration for the Dracula books), visit the Captain Cook Attractions, shop for some Whitby Jet or Gothic Fashion, sample Fish & Chips from the famous Magpie Café or just enjoy the bustling port and waterfront – the choice is yours! As well as photo stops on the moors, you will also stop at the famous Kilburn White Horse, the market town of Helmsley (with its quaint cafes, shops and medieval castle) and the beautiful, traditional English villages of Goathland (Heartbeat and Harry Potter filming location) and Lealholm (with its stepping stones across the River Esk).

To appreciate Yorkshire's rugged landscapes, a vehicle is essential. Skip the left-side driving and let your chauffeur take the strain on this flexible private full-day trip, with 2-way transfers from your Harrogate address. Explore Whitby, home of Dracula, independently; see Goathland's Harry Potter station; capture spectacular photos on the North York Moors; and ride a steam train (if you wish). Entrance fees and tickets are at your own expense.

This private day trip from Harrogate is perfect for travelers interested in the hit television series “All Creatures Great and Small”. Save time researching where the show was filmed, and instead—enjoy a tour that takes you directly to the show’s main filming locations, such as Grassington—which is the fictional village of “Darrowby”. Along the way, find out insider knowledge—such as where Alf White (the real James Herriot) lived and worked, and see stunning Yorkshire Dales scenery at the same time.

Leeds lets its buildings do the talking. But scratch the modest Yorkshire surface, and you'll find a city built almost by outsiders: a penniless refugee who turned one market stall into Marks & Spencer, a French inventor who filmed cinema's first moving images here, and a mummified Egyptian priest who made a single sound in a local museum after 3,000 years of silence. This app-led, self-guided walking tour of Leeds takes you past grand Victorian arcades, a music hall where Chaplin and Houdini once performed, and the ale house at the heart of the region's oldest pub rivalry. Pause whenever you like and pick up where you left off, with no fixed start time and no group to keep pace with.
