The 30 Best Day trips in Manchester

“Had an amazing tour to North Wales with guide Shelly. Her anecdotes, stories and safe driving made it by far the best tour I've ever done.”

“Great nursery, the staff are really friendly, they are fantastic with our son, there is always a huge variety of activities to keep him entertained. He has developed a huge amount since going there. We're very happy with Monkey Puzzle.”

“Very kind driver! Great and safe driving. Very clean buses as well.”

“Amazing place to stay! I just want to give a big shout out to rajaa for her hospitality, she went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth check in. The room was incredible and the amenities were perfect. I would however like to note the guest lift is out of use which was a small issue but rajaa was amazing enough to guide us to the staff lift whenever we needed it. Thank you so much for the stay, We will definitely be back!”

“Ghelila served us in the bar and was amazing! Completely re corrected the mistakes of the bar tenders and made sure we had an amazing night. I’ve been multiple times and she’s been amazing and memorable each time. Such a credit to the company the only reason me and my family come back. The hospitality from HER.”

“Everyone, including locals, should take the tour to learn about Manchester's history.”

“I really do not know what to even say!! I paid just shy of £120 for 4 kids and 2 adults and I swear, I saw less of my partner than I did the kids! Honestly, this was the most epic chaotic day we've had in ages!!! 11/10”

“Just Completed the Powerboat level two course and i can highly recommend trafford water sports centre! Chris our instructor was friendly, knowledgeable and very good at teaching and explaining the course. There was a good balance of theory and practical that it made it a really enjoyable experience! I would happily recommend this course to everyone! You won't be disappointed! A++”

“I feel is not big enough for what you pay but is not bad I give it 5 stars for all variety of fishes and playground for kids in side some activities but you have to pay extra for them the video I took is from the main aquarium inside witch is beautiful”

“We only dine here, we don't stay in the hotel as we live locally. The Coach House is our favourite 'go-to' place to eat out. We'll be very sorry to see it close. We've had group family celebrations here, as well as quiet meals out as a couple. Great food, great staff, warm & welcoming atmosphere.”

“Amazing the cubs and beavers loved him 5 *”

“The property management are always so friendly and helpful, there is often maintenance with shared facilities but they are always quick to act”

“Really enjoyed my stay here, the staff were outstanding and hospitable, the bar next to the lobby had a welcoming, cozy feel, wonderful menu and lovely rooms. I'm not sure about some of the complaints on the size, it seemed average to me, but it was very clean which is high on my importance list, as was the rest of the hotel. This hotel is away from the city bustle a bit, but a lot of trees around the property make it very relaxing and a pleasure to escape the traffic. My only feedback is the vegan sausage in the morning was freezer burned and a little bland, they can be tossed in oil & seasoning to add flavor, but fresh/defrosted is best. My veg pizza was wonderful, so was the veg burger. Great buffet in morning. Outstanding staff professionalism in housekeeping and lobby.”

“Fantastic staff, amazing food and the choice of activities is excellent. Wish we had found this place sooner”

“Amazing Nursery! My son attended when he was younger and still attends holiday club, comes home telling me how much he's enjoyed himself. My daughter now attends here & loves it along with all the staff. She's come on leaps & bounds in just a few months of being. Highly recommended”

“My wife booked this place and looking at the reviews, I was a bit dubious about staying there. We ended up having a great stay. Ok the hotel is a little dated but the room was clean and quiet. The receptionist was lovely and I thank her very much for her help. Easy access via the number 59 bus into and out of the city centre. Had dinner the first night in the adjacent pub and spoke to a lovely couple that said it has recently been taken over and things are a improving.. had a great stay and would recommend. Thanks.”

“Catherine arranged a fantastic holiday for us with a great deal of care and attention. Our trip to New York was so special, our hotel was in a brilliant location with amazing views and excellent service. Thank you Catherine we can’t wait to book our next trip!”

“We booked Excel for our recent airport run from Irlam to Manchester airport and then our return a week later. Communication was great, our drivers arrived on time and helped with our bags. The vehicles were very comfortable. We even landed late at night from our holiday to a text from the driver with his number incase of any issues. Will definitely use again, thank you!!”

“Great service. Made to feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. Decent conversation also - a rarity these days. Ed always goes above and beyond. Occasionally some great dogs kicking around too.”

“Justine and Lee are super friendly and I feel like they love my dogs they way I do. My two labradors have boarded with them a few times when we go away for a week and they always seem happy and healthy on our return.”

“Absolutely love my new set of acrylic nails with gel polish. Perfect for spring. Always get my nails done here and there always perfect shape and incredible quality. Highly recommend this business ❤️”

“May 2024 Golf Trip Pick up & Drop off, from/to 5 different addresses, around the Dane Bank area, £70 each way (including airport drop/rip off charge) to Manchester airport...in really smart clean people carriers. 5 lads 5 golf bags 5 hand luggage. Brilliant service, we would highly recommended and would definitely use again.”

“Mayfield Park is a unique little gem in Manchester!! It’s not very big, but it offers lovely seating areas and is great for a relaxing walk. Especially beautiful around sunset when the lighting in the park comes on and adds a cozy vibe. There are quite a lot of security cameras around, which might bother some. Other than that it’s Manchester’s most beautiful park!!!”

“Really super secret restaurant , please search it out you won’t be disappointed. Delicious food wine and great service what more could you want.”

“Today was my first time going. It is a great day out for the family. All I paid was for parking witch a flat fee for the day. The park was massive and catered for all ages. The facilities were really good, also the cafe was average priced witch was really good n made a decent coffee.”

“Lovely little spot, great facilities. Parking not fantastic”

“Always fun! Staff are always amazing. Young people got to canoe, paddle board and donut! They absolutely loved it!”
