Overview
Join the only Manchester tour featured on The Sidemen!
Want to see the city through the eyes of the UK’s biggest creators? We’ll show you exactly where they walked, plus 2,000 years of history that most locals don't even know.
The tour also features fascinating facts about Manchester including:
• Why the atom was first split here? • Where Rolls met Royce and changed travel forever? • Why the city’s symbol is a worker bee? • Why the Manchester baby gave birth to the smartphone in your pocket?
• And what mysterious underground spaces lie beneath the city centre?
Just as important than the sites themselves are the stories behind them. You'll find out:
• Where does Manchester get its name from?
• Why is there a Dr Who tardis in Chinatown? • Why are there lots of space invader mosaics spread across the city?
• Why is the Queen Victoria statue facing away from Manchester?
• Why has one brick on Central library been stolen so many times?
Every guest gets a digital copy of our "Insider’s Guide to Manchester"—the ultimate list of the best hidden bars, coffee spots, and live music venues.
