    This was a highlight of our vacation! We had the best time in Manchester and wish we would have stayed longer. It was completely custom to our interests including history, music, food and culture. Couldn’t have been better!

    Roy made our visit to Manchester unforgettable. On our own, we would have missed the rich history and all the great spots to see. Our main purpose was to see sights related to The Smiths but the tour was all that and more. Roy was an attentive guide and personalized our stops making this tour a wonderful experience for both my son and myself. He was terrific and the city is full of music, history and life. We are so happy to have spent the morning with Roy. I recommend his tour for anyone who visits this great city.
