Darren (Daz) was not only a great guide, but also a great man with tons of insight about not only music, but Manchester in general

Darren was amazing. Awesome insight into the amazing Manchester music scene and was so cool to just hang out with and chat and hang with. I look forward to seeing him again in the future and doing more tours.

Our family with two boys absolutely enjoyed our tour with Darren. Perfect mixture of historical information, cultural references, walking and snack (drink) breaks. The vibe of the city, charisma of the guide - perfect union. Highly recommend. Kids friendly.

My husband and I were so excited about the Manchester Music Scene tour - but I couldn’t possibly have imagined how beyond incredible this tour was last week! Our guide, Darren, was a Manchester native and knew the city and its history like the back of his hand! My husband and I love all the great Manchester bands from the 80s and 90s, and Darren was the perfect person for us to connect with! Even prior to our visit (I’d shared with him upon booking the tour that this was a surprise trip to England for my husband, and that we’re celebrating our first wedding anniversary), Darren reached out personally to understand our interests, our taste in music, and even what we like to drink so he could plan a couple of pub visits on our tour. Darren took us to all the places we wanted to see, and included several surprises too (special locations in the city - the warehouse where Joy Division filmed their video for “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, the first place The Stone Roses ever played, Noel Gallagher’s first flat in Manchester, and so much more!). We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or better guide! By the day’s end, we felt like old friends who spent a crazy and cool day together. 10/10 - especially if you like the same kind of music as we do, ask for Darren!!
