I had really looked forward to this having never been to Manchester. The guide was very enthusiastic but unfortunately after 20 minutes my bunions start playing up and I decided to sit the rest of the walk out and went to a nearby pub instead. Here I was befriended by a local who persuaded me he could fill me in on any Manchester history that I may have missed on the walk and he would do this for a pint of ale. He was indeed very talkative and charming and we had several drinks together, at least this is what I remember as I woke up some hours later in a nearby alley with my wallet missing. Maybe next time I will go to the theatre.

An excellent experience, we loved our guide, his way of taking us around town, the stories he told and his sidekick Sausage was the best companion. Recommended 1000% (super understandable English for non-native English speakers)

Ivo has been an exceptional guide. Besides, your sausage companion has been great. We had a headset and between stops we enjoyed the music, tips and history that have made it much more enjoyable. Every explanation of Ivo was improved by stops. Thank you very much and suuuuu highly recommended 👏👏
