Great Manchester city tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Manchester is such a cool City and my tour guide Darren was perfect. He has lots of interesting local knowledge about the town’s history and culture. He was fascinating on the music scene in particular. It was fun and I would highly recommend.

A Perfect, Fast, and Fact Filled Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Did you know that the “insert item” was invented in Manchester? We learned so much on our two hour tour including the incredible listing of invented/created in Manchester tidbits that we have a new found affinity for the city that has nothing to do with its football teams. Jutta was always communicating prior to the tour and even gave us a great pub suggestion for the day before our scheduled tour - she gave us a great 2 hour tour covering everything we asked for in the lead up to the tour. We wanted to know about the history of the city with some emphasis on the music scene in particular the late 70’s and early 80’s punk and new wave music makers. We ended the tour with another great suggestion for a quiet coffee and scone location. Jutta can easily be hired for a longer tour should one have the time or inclination. I’m sure we missed so much. However, it was what we asked for and she delivered in spades. A great tour!

Tour Guide, Darren, made this trip special and memorable!!!

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide, Darren, was fantastic! We signed up for the Manchester Music Tour, but Darren did such a great job with combining it with Football history along with overall history of the City of Manchester. He had first hand knowledge of so many of the places that we visited and it was so great to get his perspective having lived through the Madchester scene! Darren was extremely personable and we got on with him very well. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that has a chance to participate in one of his many tours.

Excelent tour

Ray is first and foremost a great person. Get to know Manchester very well and above all the emblematic sites of the city. It was a great experience. I highly recommend it. Gabriel Carrillo

Wonderful introduction to Manchester

Published on Jan, 2025

I am new to Manchester and I decided to arrange a 4-hour private tour of the city to understand its layout, main attractions and history. Kevin was my tourguide and he exceeded my expectations. Kevin walked me to all main landmarks, explained the fascination history of Manchester, but also the life in this great city. I was blown away by how many library, museums, history there is in Manchester, but also by the variety of neighbourhoods. Kevin is very engaging, knowledgeable and charming. He gave many tips about places to visit on my own. I very much enjoyed my tour with him. I could have not asked for a better first introduction to Manchester.
