Joyful trip with ton of secret places

Published on Feb, 2025

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 :)

Fab Tour Load :) Loads if Fun and hidden gems.
