Guided Walking Tour of How Manchester Invented the Modern World

Exceptional tour- very well designed and cohesive

This is a really rich tour- you will learn so much and begin to look at Manchester’s buildings in a different way, beginning with the shape and color of the bricks used. The guide is very knowledgeable and helps you envision the growth of Manchester from its first entrepreneurial innovations. The city does not have many of these historical places marked, but some are beautifully preserved. Terrific tour, great pace, lots to learn, I recommend.

The Real Manchester from a Real Mancunian | a walking tour

Mr Manchester shows you his city and how it’s grown

I went to Manchester Metro University yonks ago and have always had a soft spot for Manchester. I saw the walking tour offered by Ric so thought I’d go learn a bit more. Totally fascinating the way Ric presented old photos and showed comparisons of now and then and slipped back in time. Ric is so passionate about his city and very knowledgeable about architecture and how the city has grown and continues to grow. I chatted with him over a pint after the tour and he really does have some great ideas but at the same time is so grounded in the knowledge he has to go away teally understanding how stuff happens. Fantastic vfm when you think of the time Ric has spent putting this together. Everyone should do this, much more value than frittering away your money on coffee around the city, learn something and do a tour with Ric!

Women of Manchester Walking Tour

I loved this tour!

Julia of Women in Manchester gives a fabulous tour! I had a wonderful time. Julia did a great job getting people to participate in the tour, so we all had a lot of fun together, and we learned a lot, both from Julia and from each other. Excellent contribution to my knowledge of the history of Manchester. Great tour to do solo.
