Manchester began as a Roman settlement almost 2000 years ago, yet it was in the 19th century that this Victorian boom town really came into its own. Manchester is known as the "world's first industrialised city" and its role in the industrial revolution is legendary. A local guide is waiting to help you discover both the city's contemporary culture and its fascinating past on a private Manchester tour.

Mancunians, as the locals are known, are an accomplished bunch. They've transformed a former "factory town" into a cultural capital and a model of urban rejuvenation. Your guide can recommend the city's best museums and show you sights like the world's first railway station, Manchester Cathedral and John Rylands Library.

At the end of your tour, your guide will have suggestions for how to spend your evening - anything from visiting the trendy pubs in the city's bohemian Northern Quarter to joining raucous fans at a Manchester United football game. Enjoy your private Manchester tour!
