Private and personalized experience with a Local Host. Manchester is renowned for being the vibrant capital of music in the UK - there are more live music shows here than anywhere else in the country - and it has recently been crowned the UK’s ‘best live music city’ too. Manchester is home to legendary bands like The Smiths, Joy Division, the Buzzcocks, and many more. Follow the trail of Manchester’s musical heritage through the city. Explore where homegrown talent started out, and visit the best venues and historic pubs. Discover how proud the locals are of their musical culture. Stop by landmarks like Manchester’s Music Walk of Fame. Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students, and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

Just very disapponted for the price it was a total scam. The guide was very nice however the course content was showing the outside of a few music venues, a instrument store and a record shop. I was expecting to learn about the Manchester Music scene and can say I know very little more than when I started. Hopefully no one buys this as you are really throwing your money away. Oh we did get 2 pints each.

We had a fantastic time walking around Manchester with Francesca. She made a great effort to tailor the tour to our interests and she was really fun to talk to -- it felt like hanging out with a local friend. Exactly what we wanted, a great day trip from London.

When Viator and this tour operator says "this is a private tour" they are not kidding. This is the truest to that sentiment of any tour we've taken before. they asked us a series of questions and listened perfectly. They matched us with a perfect guide (Roy) who was not only a life long local to the Manchester area he was local to the very neighborhoods that we wanted to visit. It was so much more than we could have expected! It is a must if you are into the Manchester music scene.
