Reviews of Our Manchester Experiences

This tour was amazing after a very rocky start with missed communication. What's app is not something I'm familiar with and communication was lost but in the end...it all worked out. Our guide was so amazing and worked to get a meeting point we could understand, even staying extra time to make that happen.

We had such a great experience on this tour. Our host, Roy, was very personable, knowledgeable and communicated clearly regarding the meeting point and time (suggest to download and use WhatsApp if not already using). We spent the prior day touring central Manchester on our own, but Roy brought the city to life, even pointing out many landmarks we walked past the day before and did not notice. Highly recommend!
