Hi, I’m Kevin, your passionate host in the vibrant city of Manchester! What I love most about this place is its layered history - you can trace its journey from Roman roots through medieval charm and Victorian grandeur to sleek modernity, all in a single stroll. The shades of green and red that fill Manchester’s streets and architecture give it a character like no other. Amid the city’s buzz, there are serene hideaways like Parsonage Gardens and the Portico Library, perfect for a quiet moment. I’m always on the hunt for the latest spots in food and drink, especially those in unique, post-industrial spaces that add a story to every sip. Whether it’s showing friends around the vibrant streets of Ancoats or uncovering the tales behind Castlefield’s historic sites, I know Manchester’s neighborhoods inside and out. For me, every weekend is a new opportunity to explore, savor, and share the fascinating layers of this incredible city.

My reviews

    My daughter and I went on this tour. Our guide Kevin messaged in advance to ask about our interests. When I told him we were interested in literature and history, he customized the tour to include three libraries and lots of historic sites. Kevin was WONDERFUL-- super personable and interesting.

    Kevin knows the ins and outs of Manchester. He answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond showing the points of interest. He is a good communicator and quite personable. What a wonderful ambassador of the city.

    Kevin was knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. He took the time to share his personal stories and conveyed the historical significance of sites we otherwise would have passed by without notice.
