Overview

Led by a lifelong Mancunian, this relaxed, small-group tour uses archive photographs, historic maps and on-location visuals to reveal the stories hidden in the city’s streets. From protest, music and innovation to pubs, homelessness and Manchester’s constant reinvention, this is much more than a checklist of landmarks. There’s plenty of time for questions, conversation and looking at the city in a completely different way.
