Hi, I'm Dave, Welcome to our tour! I've lived and breathed Manchester my whole life so expect some family history, cool buildings and the story of Manchester from somebody who has never managed to leave. I know Manchester like the back of my hand! While I usually lead the tour, from time to time you could be led by one of our other guides - Darren, Joe, Bob, or another knowledgeable member of our team! We look forward to welcoming you on the tour! Dave

Pickup

We meet at Chinese Arch, Faulkner Street, M1 4FH I will be carrying a yellow umbrella with Free Walking Tour Manchester written on.

Description

Walking through the streets of Manchester means walking through 2000 years of history!

Do you want to know where the atom was first split?  Where Rolls met Royce and changed travel forever?  Why the cityโ€™s symbol is a worker bee?  Why the worldโ€™s first computer was born here? And what mysterious underground spaces lie beneath the city centre?

Join our tour and Iโ€™ll give you all the answers and many, many more :)
