5Fantastic
Brilliant 90 minutes tour really informative and easy to hear on the audio . We saw all the sights and lots of information was given. Great way to get around and so good we could get on and off at any stops . Peter the driver gave us a great experience. Thank you

We enjoyed the bus ride going through the main parts of Manchester, specifically covering city centre.
5Manchester sightseeing
Very happy with the trip! Was lucky with the weather aswell.
2Hopped off, but never got to hop back on!
Being a first-time visitor to the Manchester area we thought it would be best to take advantage of a hop-on hop-off bus tour. While the boarding was seamless we were quite disappointed when the bus never returned to pick us up after touring the War Museum. After waiting approximately an hour we were forced to make other arrangements.
5Peter the Great!
Driver named Peter was lovely - very knowledgeable and friendly, made sure everyone knew what time he would be back, and made sure everyone was happy. Great guy. Tour was good too, despite growing up in Salford, I still learned new things from this tour.
5Short break

About Manchester
Manchester, the former cotton capital of north-west England, is a city of red-brick mills, canals, football, music and big museums.
Manchester grew in the nineteenth century as the centre of the cotton trade, and the warehouses, mills and canals of that age still shape the city. The Gothic Revival Town Hall by Alfred Waterhouse dominates Albert Square, the John Rylands Library holds a Victorian reading hall of carved stone and stained glass, and Castlefield has a Roman fort beside the canal basin. The Science and Industry Museum stands at the oldest surviving passenger railway station in the world.
Top-ranked sights in Manchester: Etihad Stadium (City of Manchester Stadium), Manchester Cathedral, Manchester Central Library.
