As a Mancunian, I’ve never felt the need to hop on one of these buses, but I have used them in plenty of cities around the world were I’ve had just enough time for a whistle stop tour of a city’s highlights. In that context, I think these bus tours can be pretty interesting and good value for money. If you’re not a native of Manchester and find yourself in the city centre, you are definitely not going to see Old Trafford, Media City and Imperial War Museum North by accident. They’re a good 15mins+ drive from the heart of the city. So if you’ve got 90 mins and £12 spare, I’d go for it. The only stop on the list that isn’t particularly of note is Piccadilly Gardens (generally an area to be avoided rather than visited!).

Has anyone tried this? Was it worth it, would you recommend it to others?
