Where is the tour starting point and what is the itinerary?

The tours start wherever you want! Manchester is a very compact city and easy to walk around on foot. We can meet your group at their city centre hotel and end the tour at a museum, restaurant etc of your choice.

Walking tours would typically include highlights of Manchester such as the Town Hall, Cathedral, John Rylands Library and the Royal Exchange but the exact itinerary is entirely flexible.

In addition to the city centre, coach panoramic tours would usually cover The Quays (Media CityUK, Lowry, Imperial War Museum North), the two major football clubs, university district and the old cotton mills.
