Joyful trip with ton of secret places - Big thanks to Joe for such a lovely trip with full energy even on the cold windy day. It was 3-hour trip where time flies with all the story and history about different places. Totally recommended.

Wonderful experience! - Joe, the guide, was very kind and knows a lot about Manchester. He took us to some very interesting parts of the city, not only the typical tourist spots! It was longer than usual, with interesting facts and even a speaker where he played music that he talked about! We were only in Manchester for one day and we really enjoyed the tour, I really recommend it! Thank you so much Joe :)

Perfect for an overview of Manchester - I really enjoyed Joe's bespoke tour of Manchester. I learnt so much during the time, and really appreciated hearing such a variety of quirky and interesting information. Joe's style was relaxed and his knowledge is outstanding. Having previously facilitated similar tours in my home city of Belfast, I know how much effort goes in to these tours, but Joe was effortless and yet engaging. If you're only going to do one of these tours next year, make it this one! So good

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!

Fun Walking Tour - We had a walking tour from Joe. He knew a lot about everything and very nice that we also went into all kinds of small pubs where local people were sitting. Joe did talk very quickly but luckily my son could follow it a bit better and translate it for me:-). Time really went by hell fast and have seen and heard nice thingy about Manchester. Too bad Joe walked away after the hike we would have liked to give him a tip but by then he was already gone. But Joe thanks for the nice walk!!

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!
