Itinerary

Book online, then wait for a phone call from the local tour operator within a period of 24 hours. Chat about your interests and any particular sights that you want to see, so you're matched up with a like-minded Mancunian as your guide. Groups are generally limited to just six people, but larger groups can be accommodated.

On the day, meet your guide at the prearranged departure point at a time that’s perfect for you. The itinerary is totally tailored to you, but if you decide on the day that you want to see something else, your guide can change the route or tweak the schedule.

Check off Manchester’s landmarks; learn about the city’s history; and use your private tour to get tips about where to eat, drink, shop, and socialize from your own insider guide.

After exploring Manchester with your guide, finish the tour at a location of your choice.
