Historical tours in Manchester

“Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and fun! Would highly recommend!”

“After living in Manchester for 6 months I figured I’d find out more about this city. My girlfriend and I did the free walking tour hosted by Josh. He was very passionate about this city and told many interesting stories and helped us discover some hidden gems.”

“Must visit if you are Man United fan. The trophy room reminds what this great club is all about. It's like taking a walk through history. Guided tour is also quite good and covers most important sections of this beautiful stadium.”

“Lovely place to stay; clean, comfortable and convenient! Thanks to the host :)”

“Very reasonable price and fantastic location. Room was spotless and good amenities. Iron and ironing board provided on request. Free wifi and tv in each room. Also spotless. If I had to fault, the maid walked in in the morning at 8am, she did knock and walk in but I didn’t think I would need to put the “don’t clean” sign on the door as we were only staying one night. But overall a pleasant experience and would definitely stay again!”

“We loved native. It's architecturally really interesting - really great use of this space. The room was beautiful and a lovely place to come back to. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. A couple of things that would have made it even better would have been some drawers to put clothes in and a full length mirror. All in all though we had a really great time and will definitely be back.”

“Very well organised. Nice and clean. Disabled access was good. Bar drink code was adequate and refreshments were available. Excellent idea of being able to order drinks for the interim period so you could just pick them up. Toilets were superbly clean. Such a grand place to visit and experience.”

“I took the Liverpool day trip from Manchester, it was great day out, everything worked very well, I will be booking another trip very soon ! thank you”

“Booked tickets for me and some friends who were spending the day in Manchester. We had a brilliant hour upstairs on the open top bus. Great value for just £12. Clear commentary and information by the guide and a free map with information on Manchester and the route we took. Such a brilliant memory for us all. I definitely recommend”

“We are a group of highly qualified and experienced professionals that invite you to tours of the amazing cities of Salford and Manchester.”

“Beautiful place and great boat trip on the river and amazing views on the city from other side Manchester”

“Awesome project, great investment and capital upside...”

“Salams, Alhamdulillah, excellent, friendly, profressional, reliable, caring service with very good facilities and arrangements. We are the second in our family to travel with them - would highly recommend. Bashir Malji, Usman Chokhawala, Younus, Kutub, Abu Bakr & of course, Bashir Chokhawala are supportive, trustworthy people. Allah Ta'ala grant khair and barakah in their services, health and families.”

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

“I'd initially booked a two week jaunt to South Africa for my Dads 60th and after months of uncertainty we got the call that it couldn't go ahead. Despite this, Black Opal had stayed in touch throughout the entire experience, reassuring us that they would do everything in their power to make it happen. Alas, it was out of their hands. Black Opal quickly arranged an alternative trip to Murrayfield to at least watch the Lions on home soil and what a day it was, we saw all of the players board the buses prior to playing and a stellar 3 course meal with guest speakers. We had great seats and the atmosphere was as good as we could of expected. Black Opal accommodated a payment method they did not previously accept for me to pay for the entire trip and we got great rates for the initial trip to South Africa and the revised trip to Edinburgh. I'd not used a travel operator before, but I can assure you reading this and Black Opal I do not intend to go elsewhere ever again for sports excursions. Special mention to Ben Collis for the initial handling of my enquiry but my utmost thanks and appreciation goes to Kathryn Morris who was instrumental in the handling of our initial trip when it was in limbo and arranging our trip to Edinburgh. I cannot recommend this group enough.”

“Absolutely amazing, everything from beginning to the end, was sorted by Tony, very personal service, we wouldn't go anywhere else to book our travels.”

“Lovely place if only weather allows to enjoy it its got beautiful flowers, paths and great atmosphere”

“Prompt, reliable service every time. There is a reassuring call the day before you travel to double check details of journey timing. The vehicles are clean and tidy and the drivers are very professional. We wouldn't consider using anyone else.”

“My son loves going to his swimming lessons here. His teachers have brought him on loads and he looks forward to them every week”

“An excellent real ale pub. The beer I've had there has always been very well maintained. The staff are friendly and the prices are good. The place is clean, comfortable and well maintained. I would highly recommend visiting”

“Stopped in 3 different rooms here now all have amazing bathrooms comfy beds warm and spotlessly clean. Location is probably best you will get in the area easy to get too but rural and quiet countryside. I tried to think of something negative to say but honestly I can't fault the place for the pricepoint.”

“Just returned from our Fabulous holiday at Villa Verde. There were 8 ladies celebrating a Birthday with me. The villa is stunning with great facilities. Fantastic pool and outside eating area. The real Algarve ladies arranged the following for us at my request. The wine tasting experience with Nuno which was informative but not overly so and was great fun which left us all a bit tipsy. He is a great guy very professional but very friendly. Also the private charter boat trip through Timeless Moments which was the highlight of our holiday. Lots of great photos of a beautiful area along the coast at sunset. The two man crew were absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend this company. Hope to be able to return to The Algarve again in the near future.”

“I love Whitworth Hall. It smells of knowledge. Had to be quiet as exams are happening all over campus. When I was a child my favourite place was the museum. Very different to the way it is laid out now. We could cross the archway into Whitworth Hall. Spent many hours creating stories and a little bit of chaos. Take the opportunity to have a nosey it is worth it.”

“Amazing place especially if you love reservoirs! Great for dogs though sheep, toilets at car park, sailing in warmer times so many routes back again in 2wks!”

“Great outdoor safe,fantastic countryside walks well worth a visit”
