Gareth was an excellent guide; knowledgeable and funny. He also paced the tour well and kept us all together in the busy city centre. His talk covered centuries of Manchester history from the Romans to the present day and left us with a much deeper and wider view of this vibrant city. I would absolutely recommend him.
We had a fabulous walking tour with Gareth, he was easy to listen to and had a wealth of knowledge
Had an amazing and informative tour by Gareth. A lot of facts you dont read anywhere else and covered a lot of the major landmarks!
Had a lovely time on this walking tour with Gareth. He clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge and makes what he does look effortless probably because he's put so much thought and care into what he does. He was able to tailor what he said to the group, had some incredible pictures in his folder and phone and made the entire thing so enjoyable! Would highly recommend!
Gareth is a super guide! He explained the history of Manchester to us wonderfully and enthusiastically. He was super easy to understand and never boring. The 2:15 hours were very entertaining and enjoyable.
Excellent tour with Gareth, who showed us his city with passion, humor, and good knowledge on all subjects. And long live Manchester City... and Manchester United 😀
