The Experience
What your day looks like
Private and personalized experience with a Local Host. Manchester is renowned for being the vibrant capital of music in the UK - there are more live music shows here than anywhere else in the country - and it has recently been crowned the UK’s ‘best live music city’ too. Manchester is home to legendary bands like The Smiths, Joy Division, The Buzzcocks, and many more. Follow the trail of Manchester’s musical heritage through the city. Explore where homegrown talent started out, and visit the best venues and historic pubs. Discover how proud the locals are of their musical culture. Stop by landmarks like Manchester’s Music Walk of Fame Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students, and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests, but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home that they choose to spend their free time sharing it with like-minded travelers matched to them.
