Excellent tour highly recommended - Julia was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge about the history of Manchester. The food and drink stops were all well chosen and very tasty. Even though we work in the city this was a great way of learning about the places we walk past on the way to our office.

Yummy Food tour of Manchester Bites - the 3-Hour Guided Manchester Food Tour with Lunch with MB Julia 10 was a completely awesome experience. My son selected this tour based on his love for food. It was simply a wonderful tour of a group of 10 people who visited quaint stores sampling various gourmet food like soups, Cheese, Cold Cuts, Wine and Indian cuisine. There is a rich historical perspective of manchester as the cotton industry of England.
