Brilliant Walking Tour of Manchester - We had an absolutely fabulous walking tour of Manchester! Roy was a wonderful guide—his wealth of knowledge, engaging anecdotes, and lively storytelling truly brought the city’s history to life. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, every stop was made memorable by Roy's passion and enthusiasm. The tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and fun, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for Manchester and its incredible stories. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough—if you’re visiting or even a local, this is a must-do experience! Thank you, Roy, for a fantastic day!

Great Private Manchester History Walk with Jutta - This was a 3 hours Get to know Manchester private tour with Jutta, on my first full day. It was great. I wanted to learn some history and see something of Roman times to Industrial Revolution, architecture and music scene over time and now. Jutta is amazingly well informed about all these things and much more. The pace was perfect for me, although some might want a slower pace and she was happy to let me choose the pace and distance.. Jutta was willing to sit for a rest if I wanted that. The tour was like having a smart local friend in town. A great experience for me.

Manchester Music Scene with Darren - This is an unforgettable experience. Darren is personable, knowledgeable and tremendous company. We saw so much and learned so much taking in the famous and not so famous sites,interspersed with personal stories and reminiscences. We walked for miles but the time just rushed by and left us thirsting for more. If you have time to spare and an interest in the Manchester music scene, then you miss this tour at your peril!

Salford Lads Club highlight, rest needed work - It was amazing to visit the Salford Lads Club, with the Smiths room and all the base history of the poorer part of Manchester, reflecting on the origin of the music history. For the latter 2 out of 3 hours, we strolled around some interesting spots but the depth of any related stories was lacking and needed some break from walking, not just at the end.

Homework Needed - I am afraid this tour was very poor . The guide was a very pleasant man but he lacked any in-depth knowledge of the city which we know is rich in history and culture . We abandoned the tour after about 45 minutes after the stop at the Cathedral - the guide’s lack of knowledge of this , one of Manchester’s most historic sites confirming our misgivings .
