I loved the tour, Joe, he had a fascinating energy, he taught us many historical, particular and very interesting things about the city. Also, something that I loved was that it took us back to historical times with its music playlist that told the stories of the city.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Rock & Goal tour with Joe. It was cold and wet but this did not dampen the enjoyment or Joe's enthusiasm. We learnt a lot about the music history of Manchester and enjoyed hearing a few of our favourite tunes and seeing places where artists played and significant events happened. We got to see lots of areas of Manchester and some fabulous murals that we would otherwise have missed. Highly recommended :)

Joe is great and very knowledgeable. It’s a city walking tour but it had lots of music stops which is fantastic as I’m a big music fan.

Really nice walking tour with Joe! Fun and interesting. All the best spots in Manchester with interesting facts about music and history of the city

Great and informative session. Joe is great and really delves you into the Mancunian history. The pop-ins to several buildings and hotels was a bonus, so also his music knowledge (and actual tunes)! 😁

Really enjoyed the walking tour. Joe was an incredibly knowledgeable chap, and walked us through the industrial history of Manchester, with plenty of modern history around the music and football culture which replaced it. Lots of fun local facts and some really cool examples of music created or performed in Manchester. Really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed learning about the industrial history of Manchester, how it's evolved over time to be a centre for music, art and football!
