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.

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!

Excellent tour, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Manchester. Joe was a great tour guide and had buckets full of knowledge about anything and everything. Overall an awesome experience for getting to know the city and its history, also a unique way to make some new friends.

What a great tour... Joe was fantastic and if you want to know anything, and I mean anything, about English bands/singers/venues this is the guy to ask ! very personable and entertaining... you will definitely enjoy!

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.
