5.00Over the course of 4 hours, the tour covered almost everything there was to talk about with enough detail to spark interest in the history of manchester. The tour included stories of the canals, music, cotton and even more random tid-bits about manchester. The food served was fitting for the stories and truly gave the me a taste of manchester. The guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, able to answer every random question that was thrown at him. Highly recommend
