Do yourself a favor and hire John for your tour of Manchester. He is the best -- smart, funny, kind, and absolutely willing to go the extra mile to make your day everything you had hoped for. My friends and I are huge fans of the Manchester music scene, and not only did John take us to all the spots on our list (and took excellent photos and videos for us), he also brought us to a few historic sites we didn't know existed. If you're looking for a knowledgeable tour guide, who won't just give you a cookie cutter experience, but one genuinely curated for you, then John is your man.

I am delighted that I selected John and his company to guide me around the midlands. I had specific locations from the time of the industrial revolution to visit and John knew those and so much more. We had four full days that far exceeded my expectations. John was knowledgeable, his vehicle and driving were impeccable and he is extremely pleasant to be with.

What a treat! John was very accommodating and gave us quite an extensive tour. Ideal to both have an overview of the city as well as go into more details with focus points tailored to our specific interests. Highly recommend for a wonderful experience.
