My reviews

    What an amazing tour Darren provided us thru Manchester! Wish I could give him 10 stars because it was that great. He's such a personable guy and being a native, he had a vast knowledge of the city. Swear he was the unofficial mayor of the town since he knew a lot of people along the way. Came into town for a few days to visit even though I had been before and was pleasantly surprised to find out so much about Manchester (Madchester) in depth. Darren tapped into so much of the art, culture and music scene that I followed from afar in the States. I was so ecstatic to hear and see it all firsthand with this tour. Darren was well organized and didn't give us a stuffy tour whatsoever. It was laid back and casual where you felt at east, like you were just traipsing around town with your best bud. Can't say enough but the City Unscripted tour was so on point with getting in touch in advance of our visit and really finding out the things we were interested in. I greatly appreciate that this tour felt so customized to my interests which really made the experience so pleasurable. Needless to say, I highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Darren.

    Darren had great stories to supplement all is factual knowledge of the football scene in Manchester. The pint together is a great way to finalize the tour and Darren is so knowledgeable on the local beer producers.
