Munchies in Manchester

Manchester might be known more for its history, music scene, and football fanaticism, but England’s “northern capital” is also a culinary wonderland. The city’s diversity makes our Manchester food walking tours akin to a trip around the world. From classic British pub grub to the trendy Northern Quarter, where eclectic restaurants serve food from faraway countries, Manchester food walking tours are always a treat. But in a city famed for its brewing heritage, where independent breweries and pubs are ubiquitous, you might choose to indulge in Manchester pub walking tours instead.

    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.
