Darren (Daz) was not only a great guide, but also a great man with tons of insight about not only music, but Manchester in general

Darren was amazing. Awesome insight into the amazing Manchester music scene and was so cool to just hang out with and chat and hang with. I look forward to seeing him again in the future and doing more tours.

Our tour guide Roy contacted us several days before your date with questions about what we wanted to see. We met him in piccadily garden and we were on our way. I told him I'm a huge Smiths fan so he took us to Salford Lads Club, Morrissey house and Iron Bridge. We also went to two clubs where Oasis and Joy Division performed. Next e grabbed a pint and walked about the city. Excellent tour guide, very nice and funny, definitely recommend!

Jutta was a tremendous host and navigator on a rainy Manchester day. She made our day by hitting all the amazing Manchester spots we had asked for and especially the Salford Lads Club, where we got a terrific history and tour. My family was thrilled. I was thrilled. It made my once teenage heart swell with the completion of pilgramage long overdue. Jutta was thoughtful and full of of historical wisdom as we trekked about. My only critique is that it truly isn’t long enough for the distances that need to be covered. Highly recommended.
