My reviews

    Our guide, Darren, was fantastic! We signed up for the Manchester Music Tour, but Darren did such a great job with combining it with Football history along with overall history of the City of Manchester. He had first hand knowledge of so many of the places that we visited and it was so great to get his perspective having lived through the Madchester scene! Darren was extremely personable and we got on with him very well. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that has a chance to participate in one of his many tours.

    We had signed up for the music tour, but Darren did such a fantastic job of adding in Football history and just overall history of the City of Manchester. Darren was extremely personable and we got on with him very well. I would highly recommend him to anyone else that may have an opportunity to do one of his many tours!!!

    Darren was our first introduction to Manchester. Perfect balance of history, dining, pubs, points of interest. Great start to our mini-vacation.
