We had a wonderful afternoon walking around the city and having the history brought to life via Gareth our tour guide. A family of 5 with youngsters aged 15, 13 and 11 who were engaged and kept interested throughout the walk - no easy feat! Thanks for the pizza recommendation we went there straight afterwards and it was fab!
We are local to Manchester but thought why not try a tour as you would in other cities - would highly recommend this for anyone !

I have often visited Manchester but I have never done a tour before. Now that I took part, I regret not doing one earlier. You could really tell that the tour guide Gareth was passionate about the town and its history and gave additional useful tips on what to do in Manchester. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants an overview of the towns most interesting sights. Even though it was a long walk, the time just flew by.

Our guide, Gareth, was engaging, entertaining friendly and highly knowledgeable about the city that he so clearly loves and enjoys.

We were so involved in the discussion with him, that we overran the scheduled time by quite a lot and we really appreciated his time and thoughts and how we adapted his tour to see you da interests. Highly recommended and we were so pleased to have taken the tour with Gareth

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
