Dive into Manchester's music vibe on a private tour. Stroll Northern Quarter, uncovering Piccadilly Records, craft designs, and local brews.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Get your culture fix in the eclectic Northern Quarter - the trendiest neighborhood in Manchester. One of our Manchester hosts is ready and excited to show you what this unique and hip area has on offer.
Whatever your preferences - music, food, art (we’d take all three), your new-found friend aka our host (although to be honest, in this northern city everyone’s so friendly you’ll have plenty of new pals) will take you the coolest spots around.
You could pop into the patchwork of galleries, bars, and lifestyle stores or a popular attraction like the artists’ studios at Manchester Craft and Design Centre.
Despite the gentrification of the neighborhood, it’s stayed true to its original flare and is still loved by locals and visitors eager to get a taste of NQ’s unique vibe.
The music culture is rife in the North Quarter, so you could stop by live music venues, music history-filled pubs, and our recommendation, Piccadilly Records, an NQ institution where you’ll find vinyl to suit every taste.
And we’d be wrong to deprive you of even just a sample of drinks and snacks - skip from bar to bar, taste local craft brews and tantalizing cocktails, and eat your way from Thailand to Texas in the areas quirky and diverse eateries.
Welcome to where the cool kids hang out.

Show moreI had a great time with Roy. His genuine local knowledge and music knowledge was exactly what I was looking for. He designed a route that perfectly adapted to the bands I was interested in as well as adapting on the spur of the moment as our conversation evolved. Highly recommended. Note: you will get most out of this type of tour by giving detailed information of the bands/music you’d like to focus on when completing their questionnaire.

Show moreThis was a highlight of my trip to Europe! The weather was disastrous but I had so much fun visiting all of the “Madchester” sites and hearing the AMAZING stories (historical and personal) that Darren had to share. He was beyond personable and if I didn’t live in another country I’d beg him to be my drinking buddy! Even if he supports United. Boo.
