Amazing tour around Manchester - Joe is an amazing guide. He is very passionate about his job and his city.
He told me a lot of anedots about Manchester and it was a pleasure walking with him around this beautiful city.
He played with a small radio some songs which tell the history of Manchester and explained to me the meaning of the songs and to which period or area they were referring to.
I will advice you to join a tour with Joe! This is a really great and pleasant way to discover and visit the city of Manchester.
