Hi, I’m Kevin, your passionate host in the vibrant city of Manchester! What I love most about this place is its layered history—you can trace its journey from Roman roots through medieval charm and Victorian grandeur to sleek modernity, all in a single stroll. The shades of green and red that fill Manchester’s streets and architecture give it a character like no other. Amid the city’s buzz, there are serene hideaways like Parsonage Gardens and the Portico Library, perfect for a quiet moment. I’m always on the hunt for the latest spots in food and drink, especially those in unique, post-industrial spaces that add a story to every sip. Whether it’s showing friends around the vibrant streets of Ancoats or uncovering the tales behind Castlefield’s historic sites, I know Manchester’s neighborhoods inside and out. For me, every weekend is a new opportunity to explore, savor, and share the fascinating layers of this incredible city.
Wonderful experience with local guide, Kevin Garvey. We explored the hidden gems in Manchester and was pleasantly surprised by the findings. Thank you, Kevin for being such a knowledgeable, warm and friendly guide. Highly recommended experience for people who have not been to Manchester. We are in love with the people and city!
