Testimonials
My tour guests have kindly complimented my tours:
“Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful tour on Tuesday. It was exactly as I had hoped. There is so much to see in Manchester and so much history to learn about. My friends had a great time and all want to come back”.
“Alexandra (Alexa) came to Arnside, Cumbria to speak to our walking group. A party of 39 from Dorset who are predominately in their 70’s and 80’s. Her talk with time for questions lasted 90 minutes and was titled ‘ Welcome to the Lakes’
We found it not only interesting but entertaining. We learnt a variety of little known facts with accompanying slides. She honed into our itinerary for the week giving us focus on places we had already seen or about to see. A definite must for travellers to a new county”.
“I went on the tour of Worsley and the Bridgewater Canal at the beginning of October. Alexandra, our tour guide, was brilliant and I learnt so much about the area and its industrial and architectural heritage. The tour finished with tea and cake at St Mark’s Church, which is a real architectural treat. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of Salford and Greater Manchester”. Cat Fen, Cheshire
“Great tour, led by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide (Alexa). Lots of interesting info about the history and architecture as well as present day Manchester. Would definitely recommend!!” Judy, Manchester
“What a wonderful trip on the steam train from Haverthwaite to Lakeside and then a great trip across Windermere to Bowness with a great walking tour around the village. What Alexa doesn’t know about the beautiful Lakes, isn’t worth knowing – just ask her to tell you about Swallows and Amazons, John Ruskin, Wordsworth and Beatric Potter too”
“We are keen Janeites and Alexa took us on a tour of the Peak District to see the Pride and Prejudice houses- it was wonderful!”
“Had a very enjoyable and Informative tour around Manchester led by Alexa. Learnt a great deal and would definitely recommend this tour. The guide had a passion for the City and great knowledge. We will certainly be booking another one soon” Paul Manchester.
“Just had the most wonderful day with a group of friends, discovering Manchester and Salford. Alexandra was our guide and was just fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable, interesting and just so enthusiastic! We will be booking again very soon. Highly recommend”. Elaine, Manchester
“Alexandra (Alexa) met our touring group of 22 Texans at the lovely Clayton Hotel and gave us a 5-hr fact-filled tour of several of the historic areas of downtown Manchester. We all kept thinking “This is the end”, but then she’d say, “Now we’ll head over to……”. She clearly absolutely loves her city and was thrilled to share her excitement with us. She told us that she also gives architectural tours and is a Qualified Blue Badge Tourist Guide. I would rate this tour: Splendid!! “
“Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the tour yesterday.
Thank you so much for guiding us around Worsley and giving us so much information on the history of the canal and the connections to the Bridgewater/Ellesmere families. St Mark’s Church and the cake and biscuits was the perfect end to the tour.
We look forward to booking more tours with you”.
