Manchester Tours
It’s easy to pick up a free map from the Visitor Information Centre and discover Manchester’s rich history for yourself on foot. But a lack of official guided trails and the amount of regeneration work underway throughout the city really make the services of a guide worth the money.
The Visitor Information Centre (tel: 0871 222 8223; www.visitmanchester.com) organises various different themed tours, from pub walks to canal cruises – check the website for details; places need to be booked in advance. Or visitors can also hire a personal tour with a Blue Badge guide and take advantage of their expert local knowledge – check the Visit Manchester website for contact details of individual guides.
When the walking gets too much, hop on the free Metroshuttle services that operate along three circular routes in the city, linking the main attractions as well as the city's four railway stations.
