    Lovely bloke, clearly knows a lot about the social and musical modern history of Manchester, the tour was really well suited to those who love rock/brit pop/football. If you want something a bit more on the pretentious side, try elsewhere:P

    Very nice experience despite the initial hickup (tour company thought they cancelled bc of the storm but forgot to tell the customers so we were waiting. Guide who also thought it is cancelled could manage to come 1h later and made the tour just for us 3 customers - and invited us for drinks at the end!) Very nice guide, very cool insights into the musical history of Manchester, interesting places and a ton of artsy graffities shown and explained. a more authentic version of getting to know a city, with a lovely native - very good!
