Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Simone was down to earth and flexible on what to to see. Me being from the US, I had no idea where to start and we were able to visit all the key areas around Manchester. She’s a good conversationalist and knows her way around very well. Highly reccomend!"
"Simone was very friendly and knew lots of information about Manchester and its individual sights. She was very quick to pivot as to what to show us if we had already been there. It was a wonderful afternoon. Thank you Simone! "
"I had a lovely, very personal 3 hour tour with Simone. She took me to 4 or 5 different neighborhoods and she really tailored it to my interests. I did throw her a bit when the day before our tour I visited one spot she was going to include but she was flexible and rearranged and it all worked out. She was an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about the history and all the different areas within Manchester. I was lucky enough to get a 1 on 1 tour with her. I can see her being excellent with a group, too. Don't hesitate to book her, I know you won't be disappointed! "
"Simone took us on a city walk around Manchester. She is a very likable person with good knowledge of the city and the history. It was a flexible tour with many very interesting sights. I can recommend a tour with her."
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Manchester, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Manchester spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Manchester.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Manchester, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Manchester awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Manchester, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Manchester. Get ready to explore like a local!
