we was a party of 4 I've lived in Manchester all my lift and never seen some of places we passed until taking this tour, i totally recommend doing this boat tour you can enjoy a drink from the bar while listening to the audio recording about the history of building / areas the total tour time is only 1 hour so its not overpowering its a great break of a day out

Great little day out a loverly cruise

I enjoyed every bit of it Would have loved it If there were refreshments

Amazing experience, enjoyed a lot and learned something new about the canals and history. There were snacks and hot chocolate with marshmallows on board, too. Upper deck was available for those who are not afraid of the rain.

The location provide to customers should be more accurate. It took me to a different place

Good experience and I’d recommend it. On the return journey the commentary was a little hard to hear - not sure why. Could it be increased in volume (Just slightly)
