“If you are looking for an in depth knowledge of the city’s music culture, history and with a sense of British humour, Joe is the walking tour you have to take. Totally enjoyed myself and Joe is an excellent host that is extremely passionate about his city – Manchester.”
Lewis Liew (2026)
Pure Mancunian Spirit on Every Tour!
Every tour we lead is packed with local anecdotes and humour. You’ll get to know local slang & stories you won’t find in guidebooks.
Whether we’re talking about the football rivalries, the world-class music scene or the industrial pioneers, we deliver it with the energy and Mancunian wit that only a local can provide.
“We live close to the city and thought we knew everything about Manchester but Joe showed us parts of the city that we’ve never seen. His knowledge of the city and music scene is extensive and he is clearly passionate about his city. If visiting Manchester Joe’s walking tour is a must and not to be missed.”
