Description

We only host private tours meaning that we can tailor make the experience to suit your wants and needs. Whilst Manchester isn't the biggest city it can be quite difficult to get around. We've lived here all our lives and know the alleyways and back streets. Our mission is to show you the highlights of the city whilst making you feel a part of us. We also end at our favourite pub for a well deserved drink, on us.

Private Half Day City tour of Manchester.

Itinerary

15 min

This is one of the oldest parts of the city. The Cathedral has hosted many of our most important events. From funerals of our local heroes to state visits from royalty.

30 min

Manchester's hip and trendy area. Full of independent bars and shops. We'll show you where to pick up all the bargains and which bars to try out later. A myriad of very cool street art follows us around as we explore the streets. Many of which have appeared in Netflix and Hollywood blockbusters.

15 min

Home of the city's LGBTQ community and the centre point for Manchester Pride. Manchester's famous Canal street shot to fame in the 90's when Queer as Folk was filmed here. The area is home to some of the most popular bars and nightclubs in the country. A lot of historical moments of change have happened on this street.

15 min

The second largest Chinatown in the country after London. Amazing restaurants, supermarket overflowing with produce and old ladies arguing over the days events in one of the pagodas. What's not to love about this most atmospheric of Manchester's communities.

15 min

Home of the Northern Pantheon (or Central Library as we know it). The square has been a meeting point for Mancunians for centuries. This was the spot where the Peterloo massacre took place and is now the home of the fantastic Emmeline Pankhurst statue.

15 min

"It's like stepping into Hogwarts" is a phrase we hear a lot when we visit the library. And we can't argue.

30 min

Voted as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world by the New York Times. This was once the birthplace of The Industrial revolution. Now home to Michelin restaurants, artisan bakeries and amazing breweries.

15 min

One of Manchester's oldest and most important streets. First built by the Romans and named after another of Manchester's underground rivers.

15 min

Home to our Halle Symphony orchestra this is where the city comes to celebrate.

15 min

We are the home of the best football team in the world so it's only right that the National football museum is in Manchester.

15 min

This is where it all began. Romans first settled here in AD 79. There's still a Roman ruin if you know where to look.

15 min

We are one of the only cities in the world (outside of America) to have an American US president's statue. It's all to do with the Cotton famine and how Manchester's workers refused to work with cotton picked by slaves.

30 min

We'll end with a well earned beer, wine or soft drink at one of Manchester's most unique pubs.

Highlights

We end the tour at a fantastic little pub that us locals love.
