Manchester in the north of England really is a city of firsts; it is where Mr Rolls met Mr Royce, where the industrial revolution began and the Madchester movement started – spilling British Music across the globe. Manchester is the birthplace of computers, public libraries, steamboats, atomic theory, street lights, vegetarianism, photography, submarines, the suffragettes, Coronation Street and the centre of soccer.

The streets of Manchester scream history, its people are friendly and full of tales to tell, its skyline is incredible and its soccer teams legendary. This awe inspiring city will be your base for 8 days as you explore the north of England in this unique and customisable tour.
