Every day at 11:00 – just turn up at the Alan Turing Memorial in Sackville Gardens.

'Free Manchester Walking Tours' is the original tips-based free walking tour of Manchester, founded in 2015 by Josh, a History MA grad - now run by a small team of Mancunian storytellers.

On this 3-hour “Story of Manchester” tour you’ll see the must-see sights – Town Hall area, Royal Exchange Theatre, John Rylands Library, canals and the Gay Village – plus hidden gems, street art and a statue to a local fruit drink. We show how Manchester went from the world’s first industrial city to a modern home of radical politics, football, science, music and rave culture, using big storytelling, humour and music so it’s fun and easy to follow.

The tour is in English, runs in all weather, and is fully wheelchair accessible. Solo travellers, couples, friends, families and even dogs are all welcome. We also offer LGBT+ and private tours – ask guide for details.

There is no fixed price: at the end you are invited to tip what you feel the tour was worth, according to your budget.

IMPORTANT: please check you are with an official FMWT guide in a blue coat with our compass logo, as there are sometimes imitators.

Don't bother with a bus ! This walking tour was the best....there were no boring bits as Mike provided us with stories of Manchester, past and present. The tour was educational and entertaining, thanks to a great guide, great stories and a great city.

Manchester with Mike

The walking tour lasted over three hours and gave us a comprehensive introduction to the city. All aspects were covered and our guide Mike delivered the information in a competent and interesting way. Thank you.

Manchester Walking Tour Was Awesome!

I learned and saw so much! The 3 hours flew by because my interest stayed held the entire time. Nothing was presented that did not add to my knowledge and interest. So many things, facts, places were covered and the guide Mike was great. I would highly recommend the tour and am going to take it again with a friend.

Super tour

Megan was a fantastic guide! She has a great sense of humor and incredible music taste, which is an absolute must in the mecca of world music. I loved how the tour covered all aspects of local life rather than just focusing on history. Highly recommended!
