Megan was fabulous and very knowledgeable! I'd highly recommend this tour to everyone! I've lived in Greater Manchester for over 23 years and I learned so much about the city centre.

Fantastic tour. George was well informed and good humoured, making the tour very enjoyable despite the Mancunian rain. One of the best free walking tours I've taken !
