5.00It's the best freetour I've ever done! Ivo is great! I have already recommended it to friends who come to visit Manchester! I would come back just to do the tour! Loved the playlist it has and everything that counts! Too bad I was leaving the next day, otherwise I'd have done another with him. Thank you 🫂
