Hi there! I'm Darren, a local host here in Manchester. If you're looking for an enthusiastic and open-minded guide to this vibrant city, then look no further! One of the things I love most about Manchester is its rich culture and history, from the hidden gems to the more famous landmarks. And of course, being a football fanatic, I can tell you everything you need to know about the sport and its history in this city. But that's not all there is to Manchester! As a lover of music, I know all the best spots to catch a live show or explore the city's rich musical history. And with my in-depth knowledge of the social scene, I can take you on a tour of the hottest bars and clubs in town. So whether you're a local looking to discover more about your hometown or a visitor looking to experience the true Manchester vibe, I'm your guy. Let's explore this amazing city together!
Daz did such an amazing job on our 2 hour private walking tour of Manchester! Communication was wonderful and he REALLY nailed our interests. I am a huge music nerd so I was skeptical but he is very knowledgeable about the music scene and history of Manchester. It was like hanging out with a good friend! We 10/10 recommend!

This was a highlight of my trip to Europe! The weather was disastrous but I had so much fun visiting all of the “Madchester” sites and hearing the AMAZING stories (historical and personal) that Darren had to share. He was beyond personable and if I didn’t live in another country I’d beg him to be my drinking buddy! Even if he supports United. Boo.

Manchester is such a fantastic City. There is so much to see but it is all very walkable. Darren was interesting and funny and passed on his love for the area. He knows a great deal about the history of the City and the music scene in particular. It was a fab morning tour! I would highly recommend.
