A unique perspective into Manchester

Published on May, 2025

Joe was a very knowledgeable guide and took us to places that are not on the usual tourist route. His ability to splice music into guiding was great.

A dynamic tour of Manchester

Published on Apr, 2025

Joe's tour of Manchester was excellent. He has great energy and the pace of the tour was perfect. Lots of musical references and accompaniments throughout which was very quirky and fun. He gave us an insight into the art, music, history and culture of the city showing a wealth of local knowledge which he shared with us in a friendly, relaxed way. Thank you Joe.
