Nice walk a bout, but not a football experience - Our host, Kevin was very nice. However, this was not a football experience. It was a lovely tour of the city. My expectations were that of a guide who was knowledgeable of football and we would hit football places, talk of the history of the two great teams of Manchester. Hit some football pubs. This was not the case. Nice walk a bout. But not a football experience.

Manchester United tour - Host were knowledgeable, although sometimes hard to hear as at some parts you may be at the back of group. Got into the home dressing room and the cooperate seats and tunnel. No discount at the shop although the Etihad had. Really basic tour compared to the city tour. Had a the cafe booked and they changed the closing time to an hour earlier than on the web site, so that bit of it had to be refunded to our account and we had to make other arrangements at short notice.
