5.00I've done many walking tours in different cities, and the 5 Quarters Walking Tour in Manchester stands out as one of the very best. From start to finish, it was engaging, insightful, and full of fascinating stories that brought Manchester's history and culture to life. Our guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly - and he told it all with great humour and enthusiasm. It was perfect for a visitor like me, here for just a few days and keen to see and experience as much as possible. If you do just one thing in Manchester, make it this tour. You won't regret it!
