A very pleasant walk around Manchester with David. The tour was great, letting us seeing all the main places in the city. The explanations and fun facts given were nice and light which made it enjoyable. I would recommend you doing this tour if you consider coming to Manchester especially with David.
Great walking tour of Manchester! David was great and was very knowledgeable about Manchester and general history. The route was perfect, and we covered a lot of information. Thank you, David, again.
We had a lovely time on our tour of Manchester City Centre! Very interesting with a good variety of stops across the city. Hannah was absolutely excellent, super friendly and chatty, and made every effort to include and welcome everyone. She was very knowledgable and was more than happy to answer any questions throughout! Would definitely recommend!

A great tour, our guide David was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us a great introduction. Felt like by the end I had the lay of the land and knew where I wanted to go back to. 10/10 recommend.
Hannah was a fantastic and enthousiastic guide, telling informative, funny and moving stories with lots of lively details, about downtown Manchester, its people and social history. We would highly recommend a tour with her. It was nice to be in a small group, so we could ask questions.
Hannah was excellent, clearly vested in her city and proud. Her knowledge, positivity and enthusiasm made the walk thoroughly enjoyable. I would recommend doing it early in your visit as it will give you ideas of what to go back to.
