  1. Natassa Misiou

    I had a brilliant time on this tour – would highly recommend!

  2. Peter O’Rourke

    We booked this at the last minute and it exceeded my expectations – a great insight into my local area

  3. Carol Bolton

    Having worked on the quays in the mid nineties my impression was of a business area to be attended 9 till 5.
    After a visit to the Lowry Theatre recently I was astounded at the massive changes!
    Unsure of where to investigate first I located the walk on the Web.
    On a dull Saturday morning we met with our guide at the allocated spot and from there we were taken on a wonderful journey around the now vast Quays.
    Our guide was bursting with facts and figures which he managed to translate nto such a wealth of interesting, humorous and informative data.
    The time just flew, I urge anyone who has my preconceptions of the Quays should go on this tour, well worth 90 minutes out of your life. It felt like being taught by your favourite teacher at school.
