Jutta is a very nice, friendly person and show me very interesting places and we had good talks. It was no problem for her, to answer all my questions. Mainly we have the tour in English, it was a good training for me, but if do not know the words in English, we switched to German as a backup - that was great. Thanks again Jutta and all the best. DennisGreat - I would do it again

This was a 3 hours Get to know Manchester private tour with Jutta on my first full day. It was great. I wanted to learn some history and see something of Roman times to Industrial Revolutoin, architecture and muic scene over time and now. Jutta is amazingly well informed about all these things and much more. The pace was perfect for me, although some might want a slower place and she was happy to let me choose the pace and distance.. Jutta was willing to sit for a rest if I wanted that. The tour was like having a smart local friend in town. A great experience for me.Manchester highlights
