Really good, informative and funny. Often a story would start with a few seconds of recorded music - Who's this? Yes, and they lived here...
Jonathan was very informative and brought a wealth of knowledge to our tour. Was great having music clips along the way to add to our overall experience. Would certainly recommend.
Excellent and informative couple of hours
Jonathan was an excellent guide. He has not only a deep knowledge of Manchester and history, but deep experience and many stories about the bands and music that originated here.
Gift from my sister, loved every minute. I’m a Manc and new most of it but tour guide was ace - unusual bright star shone all day too 😉
Really fun time! We got to learn about Manchester music history and there’s definitely some really cool trivia we didn’t know. Would do again. Easy meetup location
We had a great time on the music tour - Jonathan was very knowledgeable about the history of the Manchester music scene, and he was really funny too. We saw some interesting places, and learned a lot. Jonathan had some great anecdotes and kept the tour entertaining! I would definitely recommend the tour to others.
Knowledgeable guide who told varied stories throughout the tour and played song snippets for any/all bands she spoke about. Recommend ending tour at a restaurant or pub that plays Manchester music.
Unfortunately our guide failed to turn up - leaving a disappointed group waiting at the start point. Having worked for some time in the tour business, I understand the difficulties. However, to get no contact from the organisers whatsoever was the most disappointing part of it.
I enjoyed the experience very much learning places and stories of the most legendary Manchester bands as Oasis, The Smiths, New Order.. The tour guide Jonathan told us many curious anecdotes and made us dance and sing. Highly recommended. Ariadna from Barcelona
