Roy made our visit to Manchester unforgettable. On our own, we would have missed the rich history and all the great spots to see. Our main purpose was to see sights related to The Smiths but the tour was all that and more. Roy was an attentive guide and personalized our stops making this tour a wonderful experience for both my son and myself. He was terrific and the city is full of music, history and life. We are so happy to have spent the morning with Roy. I recommend his tour for anyone who visits this great city.

Jutta was fantastic! She showed me all Manchester has to offer, including hidden gems. I learned about it’s history, it’s charm and it’s tolerance.

We had a great day with Roy and he would have loved to show / tell us more. Only - we didn't have the time. Money for value rated only 4, because it was quite expensive for four people considering that most of the money doesn't go to Roy but to the organisation. Roys commitment though is worth 5 points or more.
