Experience a unique and customised journey with a Local Guide. Known as the lively heart of music in the UK, Manchester surpasses any other city in the country in terms of live music events. It’s also recently earned the title of the ‘best city for live music’ in the UK. The city is the birthplace of iconic bands such as The Smiths, Joy Division, Buzzcocks, and many others. Tracing Manchester’s musical past will take you through the city’s noteworthy venues, historical pubs and places where local talents honed their skills. Witness the pride residents take in their rich musical heritage and visit key landmarks like Manchester’s Music Walk of Fame.

The guides we select are not just tour guides, but also food enthusiasts, history lovers, bakers, bankers, students, and retirees. Like our travellers, they come from diverse backgrounds and interests, but all have one thing in common; their love for their city is so profound they prefer to spend their leisure time showing their city to travellers who share a similar interest.
