This is Manchester, we do things differently here.

The most amazing experience ever! I loved learning things about Manchester and the fact I have lived here all of my life made it even more special. Walking around this city with Joe on his FREE tour is highly recommend!!

Amazing tour with an Amazing guy. Joe is the best guide in Manchester, no doubt! He knows everything about music, and about the story of the Mancunian. He's funny and very kind!

Joe, the drummer, took us on a fantastic walking tour of Manchester today. We are two Australians travelling to the UK, and Joe provided an informative, entertaining introduction to Manchester history, people, architecture and musical culture, including covering all the of gigs and haunts of famous artists and bands from here. Highly recommend this tour - thanks so much !

Fantastic, fun and well paced tour of some of the city’s highlights. Includes lots of insider insight into the history, politics, music and sport.

The amount of depth and knowledge of the tour was sensational. Joe was a fantastic host and so informative. An excellent and brilliant walking tour.

Fantastic tour with Joe around Manchester. His knowledge was phenomenal and he took us inside lots of the buildings, telling us about the history of them. A great tour, one I'd definitely recommend to others.

This tour with Joe was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of Manchester is phenomenal and he showed us all the hidden gems, that you wouldn't see if walking around on your own. I can't recommend this tour enough.

I was born in Greater Manchester and have lived here almost all my life and I STILL learned things about Manchester that I didn't know! Joe is fun, enthusiastic, highly knowledgeable and full of really interesting anecdotes. I will definitely be joining another tour in the not too distant future. Thanks Joe!

Joe made me fall in love with the city after only about a half an hour. Funny guy, proud local, amazing anecdotes, interesting stories, lovely guide! This was my 35th tour in Europe and definitely the best thus far!

"Met at the specified time and location and Joe took the group to many locations giving history and background for each one. Joe was lovely company and very knowledgeable and his obvious passion for Manchester was evident throughout the walk. I thought I knew Manchester well but saw places that were new to me and learnt a lot on the way! This was a lovely way to spend a few hours despite the rain......Kudos to Joe for the time and company."

Joe was very well informed on pretty well everything about Manchester; from various historical events, architecture, and culture. From his background as a musician he knows a lot about the music scene over the last several decades, including the evolution of some well-known bands. Top marks!

What a great day!! Joe was fantastic - really energetic and fun. He helps you remember things you once knew and lots of things you didn’t. Footie, Music, History, Architecture you’ve got it all!

Martin F 🐝

Joe gave the group a really informed and enjoyable 3 hour tour of Manchester. He referenced a lot of the music that has come out of the city and even played us examples as well as showing us the historical buildings and street art. The tour gave me a good grip of the geography and history of the city. His knowledge, including so many dates & names, was bar none.
Really recommend this daily 10.30am tour from the Chinatown arch.

It was a real treat! The guide Joe is a real expert in the city. He knows all the fun facts about the city’s music scene. The duration is on point. The tour covers various aspects of Manchester, from history to music to literature. I will join his tour again for sure for my next visit.

Amazing - had never been to Manchester before and didn't know where to start so did a walking tour with Joe - so glad I did, a real eye opener, his intimate knowledge and eye for detail took us to places we would never have simply stumbled across, I genuinely feel that I know the city now, albeit through everything learned from Joe. I simply cannot recommend this tour enough. His little snippets of "inside" information here and there made it all the more worthwhile.
