'The Best Tour Guide!' - Di R, August 2023

"We booked John in the spur of the moment. Luckily he had just finished a job and was at our hotel in 10 minutes. We booked him for 2 hours but it was obvious after one hour that we wanted to see more and hear more from John about his Manchester. He is passionate, knowledgeable and funny."

"His car is extremely comfortable and quiet. We could hear his commentary clearly and he was more than happy to answer any of our questions, and stop for photo ops if we asked."

"We would recommend John's guided tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this fascinating city!"

'This tour has opened my eyes' - Sarah G, April 2023

"This tour was absolutely brilliant! I’ve loved The Smiths all my life and been to the Salford Lad’s club before but this time I was with my 19 year old teenage convert and John made the tour really relevant. He knew all The Smiths lyrics and showed us various places where Morrissey got his inspiration."

"Taking us to the ‘Iron Bridge’ from Still Ill was stuff I’d never seen before. John is clearly very knowledgeable and so you also learn about the history of the city, suiting anyone, not just music fans. There are plenty of opportunities to get out, have some photos and explore etc."

"Best city tour I’ve ever been on! Can’t recommend highly enough."

'Afternoon tea treat and tour' - Ali V, February 2023

"I had heard about these tours on BBC Manchester and decided to book for my partner and I. John met us at Manchester Piccadilly train station and after a warm welcome and introduction, John gave a brief outline of Manchester and the tour."

"John is a great guy and makes it personal. We went all over the city and outskirts with a running commentary which was very interesting and humourous at times. We also stopped for pictures and then stopped at media city for our afternoon tea, a very nice touch to the time we spent together."

"All in all a great experience, we learned so much without it being information overload. John has a good manner and does this well. I would recommend this to everyone; locals and visitors as you never see what's on the doorstep!"
