1.00The directions from Piccadilly station are very very confusing causing us to miss the tour. I also got very sick while trying to find it. We asked three people and they all interpreted your directions differently there are no street signs
We cancelled but still a classy operation

5.00Unfortunately my husband got sick the night before we were supposed to go and we had to cancel. It was not within the 24 hour mark so there was no refund but we knew this when we canceled. The cancelation process was easy. I did it right online. I still am reviewing with a 5 star because our tour guide did reach out to us right away and checked on us. I thought that was above and beyond.
A pleasant excursion close to Manchester

5.00So glad we did this day trip! A hidden gem with plenty of upside. Closer to Manchester so you end the day with time to spare. The 3 villages you stop in have their own unique charm— Black Death history to hillside cathedrals… to rolling peaks with beautiful vistas. Clive was an engaging knowledgeable guide and with the van being limited to just over a dozen people makes it much more intimate and personal. Highly recommend.
Great guide; fabulous location!
