Great tour with art, architecture, music and history! - What a fantastic walking tour with Joe! I even got to use some of my new knowledge on some of the locals here that even they don’t know! Joe was so informative, funny and entertaining that I would absolutely recommend this tour. Especially if you love music!

Splendid walking tour experience - Today I went on a 2nd walking tour bringing along two friends this time. We had a splendid experience which gave a real feel and love of the city - its vibrancy, history, music, humour and much more. I highly recommend a walking tour with guide Joe.

A must visit - We’ve done a few tours of Manchester even though we live here and Joe’s was by far the best. He keeps a good pace and there’s no dawdling although he was always prepared to wait. He was very informative and equally humerus. Highly recommended.

Absolutely worth it! - What a beautiful way to discover Manchester! Joe shared some amazing and fun facts about the city, its people and its buildings and the music curation made the experience so special. I really appreciate Joe's planning and his enthusiam and knowledge especially on the music scene of the city! I will definitely recommend it to family and friends vising Manchester!

Getting to know Manchester! - Interesting trip to the city!! I learned things I didn't know. Joe knows very well the history of the music of the city of Manchester, an integral cultural part of the dormitory and its character!

Awesome tour for music and football lovers - This is a must do tour of Manchester! Joe was authentic (born in Manchester) and super knowledgeable of the music scene, football anecdotes and city history. We have a greater appreciation of the city from the tour and would definitely recommend.

Interesting and entertaining tour - Excellent tour, lots of interesting stops, especially the music venues and stories. Joe kept us well entertained. We felt the tour was a bit long,- nearly 3 hours, but this maybe down to the fact we were getting cold!

Extremely disappointing - If I could leave a minus star I would. I was booked on for the 13:30 tour and received an email less than 24 hrs before the tour asking me to join the 10am tour. I emailed back explaining that I would still be travelling up to Manchester at 10am - I heard nothing. I sent another email whilst travelling on the train at 10:30am asking for conformation that the 13:30 tour was still going ahead - I received no response. I waited over 30mins at the departure point - no one turned up and no correspondence - this really impacted our weekend away. I have requested a full refund, and I am still waiting. If we had been notified sooner we could have made arrangements for another tour around Manchester, but this could not be arranged as it was almost 2pm when we left the departure point. Extremely disappointing - can you please refund me asap!
