Kick off your first day in Manchester on this tour. You will get orientated with the city and gain some insider tips to make your trip a memorable one
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
In a city so down to earth and friendly as Manchester, we guarantee it wouldn’t take more than a minute or two for someone to stop and help you out if you were looking a little lost.
But you’ll skip that completely when you explore MCR with one of our Manchester hosts by your side - you’ll feel like a local in no time, we promise.
Your host would love to share with you their favorite places to eat, hang out and explore, make recommendations for the rest of your trip, and feel free to ask as many questions as you like along the way.
Get to know the best ways to move around - we reckon the best way to figure out the buses is to use them! So why not start in the city center, then take the bus to the revitalized Salford Quays Docklands, where you’ll find trendy bars for a cheeky cocktail or pint, The Lowry art complex, and plenty of other cultural gems.
Don’t forget to ask your host for a few northern expressions too - they’ll make you feel even more at home!

Manchester is such a cool City and my tour guide Darren was perfect. He has lots of interesting local knowledge about the town’s history and culture. He was fascinating on the music scene in particular. It was fun and I would highly recommend.
Show moreManchester is such a fantastic City. There is so much to see but it is all very walkable. Darren was interesting and funny and passed on his love for the area. He knows a great deal about the history of the City and the music scene in particular. It was a fab morning tour! I would highly recommend.
Show moreDid you know that the “insert item” was invented in Manchester? We learned so much on our two hour tour including the incredible listing of invented/created in Manchester tidbits that we have a new found affinity for the city that has nothing to do with its football teams. Jutta was always communicating prior to the tour and even gave us a great pub suggestion for the day before our scheduled tour - she gave us a great 2 hour tour covering everything we asked for in the lead up to the tour. We wanted to know about the history of the city with some emphasis on the music scene in particular the late 70’s and early 80’s punk and new wave music makers. We ended the tour with another great suggestion for a quiet coffee and scone location. Jutta can easily be hired for a longer tour should one have the time or inclination. I’m sure we missed so much. However, it was what we asked for and she delivered in spades. A great tour!
