Carolina was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable about Manchester and it’s history. Carolina showed us lots of places in the city that we had never been to before, despite having lived in the vicinity for all of our lives. Thank you so much for a wonderful informative 3 hour tour.

Very enjoyable

Tour was great and Pairo is very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Manchester, its history and culture. He gave me a lot of tips about places to visit after the tour as well as some pointers on top places to eat, some of them quite well hidden away. Very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend.

Nice walk around town

It was fun to walk through the city with Jutta and to be shown her new home. We were even able to start a little earlier because my arrival was delayed. The idea of offering a tour with a local in your preferred language was great. Everything went smoothly. There was some useful information. The afternoon was nice, but not anymore. From a technical point of view, you simply cannot expect too much. It's a nice walk. Would book it again.
