About this activity

Manchester has been my home for 25 years and for the last 9 I’ve been sharing it with visitors as an independent local guide. Discover the stories and history that made me fall in love with my city.

If you only have a few days in Manchester, or you want to discover its secrets and explore the main attractions, this is the best walking tour in the city. Because I am limited by number I can ensure I give you a personal experience and you can really get to know me and the rest of the tour guests.

All the main attractions are located in the city center, so this tour is the perfect choice to get to know Manchester in just a few hours.
