Manchester History Tour

Did you know that Manchester wasn’t actually termed a city until 1850? Until then it remained under medieval governance. So, in the grand scheme of things this city is still quite young, but there are so many great historical events that tie in with the culture of Manchester, making it the place it is today.

Join us on a historical tour of Manchester from the comfort of our electric black cab. You’ll discover the how and why behind the key culturally significant events across Manchester’s past, with plenty of opportunities to hop out and experience the sites and sights in person.

Discover Manchester’s rich history

You may have some understanding of some of the leading historical events that have happened in Manchester to make it the city it is today, but do you know the how and the why behind them?

A city at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester takes great pride in becoming the first industrialised city in the world. But, how did that come about and why Manchester? Why wasn’t it Liverpool, Sheffield or Leeds? Come on our tour, and we’ll tell you all about it.

How our Manchester history tour works

Once your tour has been booked and arranged, we will pick you up in our electric taxi from an arranged location before embarking on a 3-4 hours tour of the city centre.
