5.00Our guide Roy was amazing! He was so so knowledgeable and crafted our tour to include what we were interested in and more! I’d definitely recommend this tour and I would definitely have Roy tour us around again in the future to see more. This was worth every penny.
Awesome experience with a fantastic guide!

5.00My husband and I were so excited about the Manchester Music Scene tour - but I couldn’t possibly have imagined how beyond incredible this tour was last week! Our guide, Darren, was a Manchester native and knew the city and its history like the back of his hand! My husband and I love all the great Manchester bands from the 80s and 90s, and Darren was the perfect person for us to connect with! Even prior to our visit (I’d shared with him upon booking the tour that this was a surprise trip to England for my husband, and that we’re celebrating our first wedding anniversary), Darren reached out personally to understand our interests, our taste in music, and even what we like to drink so he could plan a couple of pub visits on our tour. Darren took us to all the places we wanted to see, and included several surprises too (special locations in the city - the warehouse where Joy Division filmed their video for “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, the first place The Stone Roses ever played, Noel Gallagher’s first flat in Manchester, and so much more!). We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or better guide! By the day’s end, we felt like old friends who spent a crazy and cool day together. 10/10 - especially if you like the same kind of music as we do, ask for Darren!!

1.00Even if you were an alien landing in Manchester joining this tour you would already know the music stories told. Nice tour guide but at times it felt we were going for a walk with a friend and not being taken on a walk by a tour guide. Waiting around for taxis; periods of awkward silence; very brief and sometimes inaccurate information; I have never heard of a band called New Division for example. Could do better! Not worth the money sadly.
A great experience

5.00Darren M. was a terrific guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Manchester music scene. We love Joy Division/New Order and the Smiths. He had great insight on these groups as well as Manchester history. He was also very personable. We highly recommend him!
Great guide in Manchester!

5.00Highly recommend! Darren was a delight as a tour guide and provided lots of inside information on the music scene. We saw a lot of sights and visited two wonderful pubs for some local beer. Definitely a great way to spend time in Manchester1
Brilliant - soundtrack of our youth.

5.00Absolutely brilliant tour yesterday . It was like re living the soundtrack of our youth. Having Rose Gill as the guide is pure heaven as she tells anecdotal tales as well as unknown facts of the Manchester music scene from the late 70s. We stopped at lots of amazing landmark places on the tour ie strange ways , Salford boys club, sifters , the cemetery etc . Cannot recommend highly enough and we’ve spent the last 24 hours singing & dancing again to all our old favourites. Thanks again Rose for reminding us of how important these bands were to our life’s story and our sound track to our youth . Playing Temptation all day today.
huge rip-off

1.00Just very disapponted for the price it was a total scam. The guide was very nice however the course content was showing the outside of a few music venues, a instrument store and a record shop. I was expecting to learn about the Manchester Music scene and can say I know very little more than when I started. Hopefully no one buys this as you are really throwing your money away. Oh we did get 2 pints each.
Fun time seeing the origins of our favorite bands!

5.00We had a fantastic time walking around Manchester with Francesca. She made a great effort to tailor the tour to our interests and she was really fun to talk to -- it felt like hanging out with a local friend. Exactly what we wanted, a great day trip from London.
