My American friend and have never been to Manchester before so we were looking for a way to know the secret foodie spots and local history of this amazing city. We booked our food tour a few days in advance and we loved it. Sandra our local guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and made our tour exactly what we were expecting. At the start of the tour we were treated to a local gourmet donut which was delicious, followed by an amazing and authentic fish taco in Mackie Mayors, a delicious beef brisket hash was then followed by the most exquisite and delicious luxury sausage roll (all locally produced and made in interesting historic venues). We concluded the tour at an artisan ice cream parlour which was also delicious. A tour I would absolutely recommend to anyone. We had some local Mancunian's (is that the right word?) who also said that they enjoyed the tour and didn't know some of the local history we were treated to. In all a totally enjoyable experience. Well done, and thanks.
