We took our 10 year old City fan for the tour today and cannot praise this tour highly enough. We had guides Chris and Ian who were both superb. They were funny, friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the stadium, the team and the club overall. Both guides were also incredibly attentive to all the children in the tour group ensuring they were given chances to ask questions if they wanted to but mostly to get involved in all aspects of the tour. There were some really fun things the children were able to do but I wouldn’t want to spoil that for others by saying what they did. Suffice it to say you will love this tour. We can’t thank Ian and Chris enough we had an amazing time ⚽️

If you love football in general and especially if you follow Manchester United you will get a great experience in doing this tour. We were informed at each stop of the tour about the details about the players the managers and the playing team support staff. The dressing room setup of which player sits where and if you’re the starting 11. You get to see the museum as well.

Really easy location to get to, the metro link drops you directly outside of the stadium. Really good tour, staff were very helpful and allowed you to ask questions throughout. You get access to all of the important parts of the stadium. Definitely recommend visiting

Tour guides Ian and Dave were very informative, good craic, and very friendly (as was all staff members). Excellent value for money if you are a football fan.

Awesome. You should definitely check it out. One of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. ❤️
