Full day in Manchester with a local

What you'll do

So you’ve got a full day to explore Manchester? You lucky thing.

You’ll join one of our local Manchester hosts as they help you tick some sights off your bucket list (if you have one, no pressure) and show you some of the city’s hidden gems, local hangouts, and secret spots along the way too.

Whether you’re a football fan, keen on getting to know the city that Manchester United calls home or you’re just looking to indulge in some northern culture - your host is excited to share their city with you.

You could stop for a pub lunch and yes, even a local pint or two (you know you want to), or do some street food feasting at a market to indulge in some of the diverse dishes that you may be surprised to find - it’s not all pub grub up here you know.

Your host can take you off the beaten path and discover diverse neighborhoods where you’ll be able to experience the real Manchester, all while sharing stories about the city from their point of view.

Get ready to lose yourself in all that this city has in store, just don’t forget to get the scoop from your host about other things to enjoy in Manchester.
