Dave our travel guide was... - Dave our travel guide was excellent!, he took his time answered the majority of the questions asked and any he didn't know he found out a long the way. Although I am from Manchester there was a lot of things we were shown that I knew nothing about. The pace of the tour was just right for all that was taking part.

Lots to see and do in Manchester - David was a great tour guide! He told us good stories and showed us the obvious and hidden sights of Manchester. His wry British sense of humor made for a fun tour.

Great way to spend a morning - I love city tours it makes me feel relaxed and that I can absorb the most of my break. Thank you David for being so patient on the walk and your knowledge was valuable I learnt so much about Manchester that I didn’t know before.
