Eleisha was given a tough tour to do with us; we wanted an evening tour, so everything was closed, yet she delivered a tour that gave us a great overview of the city, including interesting details of the history of Manchester, plus recommendations on what to do on our own, including pubs to try, places to revisit. We would happily take another tour with her.
So glad I did this tour. Ms Jutta was informative, courteous and professional. I learned so many surprising and interesting facts about the great city of Manchester. It was perfect !!!
