Gordon was fantastic. I was born in Salford but learnt so much about the city of my birth. My friends from Scotland are now converts to walking tours! Thank you so much, Steven

We did the Northern Quarter tour with Gordon and had a really great time. If you have an interest in street art and the history of the Northern Quarter then you won't be disappointed. Gordon was very friendly and had lots of interesting information to share. His passion for the city and its' art shone through and we loved spending time with him.
A wonderful experience

The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He guided us around the very interesting sights of Manchester - some well known and others less so. He was polite and helpful at all times, a lovely morning- thank you very much.
A great introduction to Manchester

I went on the Daily Manchester Walking Tour on the 10th of December with 3 other people being led by David. David was really friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I’m sure he knew much more about Manchester and the city’s history than he could fit in to the 1.5 hour tour time. (I’d go on another tour so I could learn more about this city’s history as I’m sure there is so much more to learn). You stop frequently to learn about the various areas of the city and its important figures so don’t worry if you don’t do a lot of walking. I would defiently recommend going on a tour led by David and/or Walking Tours in Manchester. (I believe the company also runs tours in other cities in the UK too).

Giordon’s tour was very informative and it was interesting to hear about the history of Manchester from a native Mancunian. He was also very aware of our safety at all times.
