How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
What would you say if we told you that you can take your pick from over 30 independent and unique breweries to visit? And then you can sample the cuisine from all corners of the world in the trendy Northern Quarter? Then try the local pub grub?
We don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty damn good to us. You’ll join one of our Manchester hosts for a jaunt around Manchester’s breweries, pubs, food trucks, and markets sampling a concoction of brews, cocktails, street eats, and hearty pub meals as you go.
Try some classic British pub grub (food) like fish and chips or a Sunday roast (not just for Sundays, this is a feast of roast beef, Yorkshire puds and gravy - you’ll have to try one to discover what all this is), as well as experiencing things on the more hipster side of life at a brewpub.
You’ll get to taste beers straight from the taproom where they’re made, with some snacks from the food trucks outside thrown in for good measure. And if you’ve got room, wander (or maybe roll) to the Northern Quarter for cocktails in a quirky bar and diverse food which hails from Texas to Thailand and everywhere in between. Yum.

We had a wonderful time with Kevin! He showed us historical places as well as taking us to legendary bars. He was very personable, and we enjoyed our three hours 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!

Roy was a fantastic tour guide and gave us a fantastic insight into Manchester, teaching us many things we never knew before! He took our needs into account which was much appreciated - e.g. coffee stop! This was very much appreciated and we are all still talking about how much we enjoyed it!

Jutta was incredible! She customized the tour to match our interests! She gave us the perfect mix of local history, unique neighborhoods, and music-related stops for our son. She brought us to areas we never would’ve known to explore, from old historic sites to funky, creative pockets of the city. Her knowledge of Manchester’s past and present really brought it all to life. If you want to see the real Manchester, not just the typical sights…go with Jutta! Highly Recommend.
