The city that keeps on giving. - Joe lives and breathes every minute of his fast-paced walk through the streets. I especially enjoyed the part where he guided us to notice details of the city that might otherwise have escaped my attention. I found that when you are in Manchester city centre, you need to look up to truly appreciate the beauty and history of the city.

Brilliant tour 👏 👏 - Joe is very passionate and knowledgeable about the city. Loads of great information, and he showed us so many places that we will go back to. We actually returned to one of the bars and a restaurant we were shown later that day. Plus, we got our steps in for the day 😊

Thanks - Thanks for the very informative tour, Joe. A little bit of history, some football and some music all thrown in. Manchester looked great and I just about started to get my bearings. Daughter came down this morning asking about the UK role in the US Civil War. I was right there with details on the difference between some people in Manchester and Liverpool...straight from the tour.

A unique perspective into Manchester - 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.

Walking tour of the city - From the history of Manchester to the trivia associated with rock bands that emerged from places such as Oasis, the book is a fun way to explore places you didn't know existed.
