The 30 Best Private tours 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.”

“As a new golfer, I first went to Richard for a club fitting. I was immediately impressed by the data analysis he presented to me after I tested a number of different brands and models of irons. This allowed us to make an informed decision when choosing the set to order. Once my set of irons arrived I initiated my first block of lessons at The Golf School. As anyone will know who plays golf, there are so many elements to a golf swing but the highly technical launch monitors, camera systems and teaching aids that Richard uses at his facility really help you to understand your swing and see the impact when you make changes. When things don’t go so well you can more easily identify which area you need to work on too. The indoor facilities allow you to continue with lessons and practice no matter what the weather, enabling further improvement throughout the winter season when you might otherwise have not been out as much as you would have liked. Richard is a great communicator and he ensures you have a clear understanding of his teaching. He is informative and friendly and delivers his lessons in a relaxed environment. I am incredibly pleased with the progress I have made since having lessons with Richard and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game technically but also psychologically.”

“My son attends nursery full time, all the staff at the nursery are really friendly and welcoming. My son loves being at nursery he is always so happy to go and I love all the updates I get on how he is doing throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier with the care being provided. Special mention to Katie in baby room who has help him settle into nursery life so well we can’t thank her enough for what she has done for him since starting”

“It was my first teppanyaki experience and I absolutely loved it. The food and service was great. The chefs were really entertaining and it was fascinating to see the food being prepared. I will definitely go back.”

“A perfect way to beat the heat on a warm summer’s day! The cruise was excellent, with an engaging, well-spoken guide who shared plenty of interesting facts. The crew were warm and helpful, and the boarding point—right under the Millennium Footbridge by The Lowry Theatre—was clearly signposted. Great value for money, offering a chance to explore hidden corners of Manchester and Salford you wouldn’t normally see, including MediaCity, The Lowry, the Imperial War Museum North, Old Trafford, and the historic Manchester Ship Canal. Absolutely worth it!”

“Really good Chinese with very tasty dishes and good service. They have a separate bar and some high tables for people who want to eat small plates. Free parking behind the restaurant. Recommended.”

“Great experience, Zizzi has always been an untraditional Italian pizzeria. Always having new dishes. The staff are really friendly and Rowan helped us a lot specially with the kids toys made my daughter forget about the wanting time of the order.”

“Fantastic nursery. Kids became more social and their creativity has increased. They are always asking to go back to the nursery, they can’t get enough of it. Thanks to everyone at Bizzie Kidz”

“Prebooked a taxi home for my mum with Star401. Driver was very friendly and made sure she got home safe. Great price too. Don’t book with Uber, book with these lads!”

“The City Center these days is fun”

“Amazing staff, they know each child in and out, your child is definitely not just a number over here.”

“Excellent friendly staff, very clean areas, they really know how to make each of your children feel special. I can't think of a better place!”

“Don’t believe the bad reviews. Hotel is clean, breakfast is good value, location is good. Tram stop behind pub. Very convenient. Lovely pub serving food across the road beside tram stop. Avoid the pizzeria next door to hotel. Good car park just seconds from reception. Shortage of power sockets in rooms, bring a power strip. Lovely staff. I will return.”

“Hayley is one very very knowledgeable woman. I've lived in Manchester for 16 years and didn't know half of the stuff we learnt on our walking trip. She makes you look up, down and all around. You've no idea what you've been missing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Very lovely experience , cooperative staff , amazing service !!”

“Really Good Nursery In A Beautiful Area Would Recommend To Anybody.”

“What an amazing 9 days in South America! The destinations and excursions were spectacular; every member of staff was incredible, from the friendly hotel, bar and waiters, to the expert discovery team. Scenic Eclipse II was stunning and has absolutely everything you could ask for - our food on board was outstanding and the array of dining venues provided an amazing variety of options and styles to enjoy each day – Night Market was a particular highlight and something I’ll never forget. Scenic went above and beyond from start to finish, including an impromptu city tour of Lima on our final day before we departed on an evening flight. An unforgettable journey and we can’t wait for our next trip.”

“Amazing food, great choices, lovely and friendly staff, would highly recommend”

“First class service; picked me up at the airport after an early flight and was on hand all day. Would highly recommend - and once again, thanks, you took all the stress away from our trip!”

“We have booked our last four ski holidays with Get Me To The Alps, and every experience has been outstanding from start to finish. They take all the stress out of planning by handling every detail with professionalism and care. From choosing the perfect resort to arranging accommodation, transfers, and lift passes, they make the entire process so straightforward that booking a ski holiday becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. What really sets them apart is how helpful and responsive they are at every stage. No question is too small, and they’re always quick to provide advice or updates, which gives you complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find a company that combines excellent customer service with such efficiency, but they truly deliver on both. Knowing that everything is organised by one reliable company means we can simply relax and look forward to our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Get Me To The Alps to anyone planning a ski holiday – they make the whole experience seamless and enjoyable every single time.”

“After a lot of searching for holidays myself and going round in circles I reached out to Becki who took the stress away and booked us 10 days in Turkey. Great hotel with a fabulous family room, fantastic food and exactly what we asked for. We will definitely be using Becki for all future holidays. Thankyou x”

“What a fabulous, happy yard this is! The horses are so well looked after and loved. Greg and the staff are so friendly, helpful and fun. Thanks especially to Evie who took me on my hack, lovely girl.. and to my trusty steed Patch, a real gent xx”

“Been to Fernhill Hotel twice now and its really good value for money if you need to stay in and around Manchester, you will ideally need a car though as it's situated in a remote farm area, which does mean it is very quiet! The rooms are nice and are a mixture of modern and traditional, the main bedroom and desk are made from wooden and are of an older style, no issue with it though everything functions as needed. The bathroom/shower puts many mainstream hotels to shame, very modern styled bathroom, the shower has great water pressure and even has a heated towel rack, the only minor downside is there is a lack of an area to put toiletries other than the sink. Overall, a great stay and excellent value for money.”

“We were fortunate to have Pomegranate provide catering for our mum's 85th birthday celebrations and it was amazing! The quality of the food was great and they are lovely people. Also a lovely restaurant to visit. Highly recommend!”

“The place to go in Royton - and Oldham for that matter - for craft beer. The menu is always changing with great choices from various breweries from across the UK. The atmosphere is always good and you're always given a friendly welcome. The food is great too, be it the in-house burgers or the various street food vendors that come into the kitchen, too.”

“Decent beer. Cracking 3Swords despite being the first one off. The staff and customers are cool. Friendly environment.”
