Experience the best Manchester has to offer on this half-day tour with a passionate local. Explore the city and gain some insider tips.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
You’ll get to experience the city as if you’re with a friend who lives there - although since our Manchester hosts are all so friendly, they soon will be your friend.
Do you see yourself at Old Trafford, aka the Theatre of Dreams or is your vibe more a trendy, artistic neighborhood? Sipping cocktails in the revitalized Salford Quays dockyards, having a tipple at a hip rooftop bar, or a pint in a local pub?
There’s more art and culture here than you can shake a stick at (it’s a local expression, trust us) so you could check out an art institution like The Lowry or discover life on Manchester’s canals. Just let us know what you’d like to experience, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
After all, we know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day with your host, as you discover Manchester your way.

My husband and I had a great time on the tour with Roy. He is exceptionally kind, vastly knowledgeable, and engages in easy, friendly conversation. He provided us an eclectic history of Manchester with lessons on the city’s origins, music, food, architecture, and much more.

Show moreI am new to Manchester and I decided to arrange a 4-hour private tour of the city to understand its layout, main attractions and history. Kevin was my tourguide and he exceeded my expectations. Kevin walked me to all main landmarks, explained the fascination history of Manchester, but also the life in this great city. I was blown away by how many library, museums, history there is in Manchester, but also by the variety of neighbourhoods. Kevin is very engaging, knowledgeable and charming. He gave many tips about places to visit on my own. I very much enjoyed my tour with him. I could have not asked for a better first introduction to Manchester.

Show moreRoy is a wonderful guide. He gave us a great picture of the history and culture of the city. He tailored the tour to our interests and we enjoyed a nice time in an ancient pub. Would take a tour with him again any time.
