    Best tourguide ever! If you ever want to get to know all the best kept secrets of Manchester, meet up with this guy! Gareth knows EVERYTHING about Manchester and gives the best food recommendations🤤 I did the tour already in april 2019, but I met up with them again when I visited again, just to meet up. After all these years he's just as passionate, or maybe even more than before. He's funny and overall so nice. The little doggie is a great sidekick, I'm so glad I finally got to meet the little Salchicha❤️ I can tell you that the Spanish guide Ivo is just as amazing! You'll really enjoy your time with these amazing people, while getting to know all the ins and outs of this great and versatile city.

    We had one day to see Manchester and bumped into Gareth outside the Central Library who had just started his 2-hour tour. We joined the group as he was so interesting. Good knowledge, great sense of humour and we could easily hear everything he said. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn more about Manchester, its history and its character.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Manchester walking tour with Gareth. I’ve visited the City many times in my life and never realised how it came about & didn’t know about the people who shaped it’s development. Gareth has a great way of explaining the city’s growth & about its people and we got to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Highly recommend.

    Gareth Smith was a very nice tour guide who had perfect insider tipps and brings up some history of the town to understand how it is today. He talks very clear so you can understand him perfectly. Every question was answered and he knows this city quite well.

    Such a wonderful and fun tour, and they even bring their dog along for the walk 🥹 10/10 recommend for anyone visiting Manchester - you will get a great overview of the city and they pack a ton of information into a few hours. The highlight of my trip so far!

    Gareth gave us an excellent tour this morning of Manchester. He is easygoing, knowledgeable, patient, funny and he shared his obvious love of his hometown.

  • 5/5 Ruby P. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Manchester with Gareth! We lucked out with the weather and had a wonderful time learning about the city and its history.

  • 5/5 wendy a. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous tour with Gareth today, learned so much about the city I was born in. Pop culture, history, political insights, Gareth knew so much, and shared with humour. I highly recommend this tour, to locals and tourists.

  • 5/5 Bene R. 1 year ago on Google
    We learned so much! Full of history and culture. Gareth was fantastic.

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone. Gareth, ably assisted by Salchicha the sausage dog, is a first rate guide providing not only a clear overview of Manchester for someone on their first visit to the UK's second city, but also a host of interesting insights into a variety of nefarious and not so nefarious episodes in its history. And the walk is easy on the feet, easy on the eyes, and most importantly, easy on the ears - you will hear every word of Gareth's commentary. Enjoy!

    Did this tour today with Gareth (sorry if I spell your name wrong) and it was one of the best tours I have done. Walking the town with our guide was very eye opening to all of the history that Manchester has. Also our guide’s dog “Sausage” made my girlfriend smile the whole time. Would definitely recommend for visitors or even local.

    Amazing informative morning spent with Gareth, our tour guide, a small group of about 8 of us, so very intimate and inclusive experience. The tour was a great pace not too much information and not too little, covered a wide verity of Manchester locations, topics and history. Would very much recommend!
