I’ve been learning about the city


since the mid-1990s. While lecturing in urban geography for many years, I naturally drew on this fascinating example of long-term development, taking students on a journey through the centuries and through the streets. I’ve researched and written about many aspects of the city. “On tours, I explain how Leeds


got to where it is today and how it’s adapting to face the future. In addi- tion to my absorbing introductory tour for newcomers, since 2019 I’ve


Rachael Unsworth during a walking tour


developed over 30 specialist topics. I offer these as two-hour public tours and I also undertake many private commissions — for local families, groups and companies as well as for UK travellers and international visi- tors. Itineraries for these are tailored to your interests and requirements. “Walkers enjoy my enthusiastic


approach to in-depth content. And they can hear me.”
