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.

Bea was extremely knowledge, helpful and fun to be with. She enthusiastically took our pictures and walked at our pace. She was kind enough to go out of her way to show us the station etc.

Roy met us at the hotel and obviously knew a lot about our interests. He gave us a great overview of Manchester and took us to many interesting places. He was very attentive to our possible need to take a restroom or walking break, and gave us many insights about Manchester we probably would not have learned on our own. I would highly recommend him.

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our friendly Manchester hosts (goes without saying though, everyone in Manchester is friendly) and set off on a jaunt around this northern city to see its unmissable spots. From Old Trafford to the regenerated Salford Quays, you’ll get a slice of local livin’ and see the highlights, and we’ll throw in a few secret spots along the way too.

A day is never enough to navigate an entire city but you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere, and experience, where Manchester’s down-to-earth reputation, comes from. Of course, there’s always the food too - stop by a pub for some classic pub grub, visit a trendy food market or explore a street known for the global cuisines on offer.

Experience the real Manchester at a pace and places that suit your vibe - just get ready to fall in love with the city.
