Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a private tour for some of our key customers with the total number around 15. The tour started at the recently completed Castlefield Viaduct and if you are booking a private tour Rob is extremely approachable and very flexible to ensure the tour suits your requirements. To be honest save for the starting point we then left everything in Robs very capable hands and he took us on a great tour around the city stopping off at some fabulous eateries for superb food. It was very well organised and each eating place had reserved seating for us and looked after us and served up some very high quality food. I was amazed to learn of places that I’d never heard of on our own doorstep, which I will definitely make a return visit. Rob has some really interesting stories and information about the city and I can highly recommend Scranchester Tours you will not be disappointed.

***Eat The City Tour***
Booked this tour for my partner and I as a surprise for his birthday and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide Rob was super friendly, knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for all things food. We visited a variety of venues (which I won’t spoil!), but needless to say there is something for everyone. Rob was super accommodating and made sure there was always a vegan option at every venue we visited. We learnt so much about the local area then and now and added plenty more places to our “must visit” list. Considering that all of your food is purchased for you, this tour is such amazing value. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Manchester: whether you’re visiting or have just moved here. A fantastic day out that I’d happily do again!

We did the Ancoats tour this weekend with Rob. I cannot express enough how fantastic this trip was. I have lived in Manchester all of my life but visited places I’d never ever seen and learnt things I never knew in relation to the Northern Quarter. A short stroll from our starting point was interspersed with amazing facts relating to the area and then we were introduced to a food venue. I’m not going to list these as it will spoil the trip for you, but all I can say is that the food was out of this world, unusual and nothing that you would be expecting.
We visited around seven food venues over the space of four hours . It was so entertaining and engaging. If you have a spare four hours, I cannot think of anything that would be better than this tour.
At the end of the day, you will not be hungry, but I’m sure you’ll want to return to some of these venues that you have discovered
An absolute huge thank you to Rob for making this a special day for us and next time we will be back to do the city tour

A great afternoon in Manchester! You know you are in for a treat when it's sunny and Rob did not disappoint... I won't go into too much detail about the food so it is more of a surprise when you attend. Also, it was hard for me to pick a favourite dish, but everything was tasty and went well together. The Northern Quarter is a great area to explore, I will be back and I will highly recommend this to anyone.

Spent the afternoon on this amazing tour. Rob the guide was very knowledgable, interesting and made the tour great fun. Good food, stops and I learnt so much about the City I live in. Would highly recommend and have already shared the link with many of my friends. I did eat the city and I am looking forward to trying the ancoats tour in 2024.

Would highly recommend this tour. Rob is a really knowledgeable and witty guide. The selection of food and drinks was superb. We learned a lot about both Ancotes and various restaurants/cuisines. Excellent value for money, will book his other tour in the future. Top class.

we've done two different tours with Rob, both of them utterly brilliant. Some fantastic food stops ( we'll be going back to most of the places we visited) and great knowledge and history along the way.
If you want to discover Manchester and its eateries this is unmissable

Very pleasant walk around Manchester avoiding the rain calling at about 6 stops. Rob was very informative about Manchester and even some locals on the tour went to areas they had never visited. All of the food we tried was delicious and we left feeling very full. Would recommend this tour.

Over just under 4hours a group of nine friends celebrated a birthday on this private tour with Rob our guide. His historical knowledge was fascinating and streets we thought we knew well, were littered with art , street signs, preserved buildings and monuments or plaques that gave us fascinating insight into the history and rise of our successful city.
My daughter and friends joined a group of 10 in the morning tour as a wedding gift and recommended it to us and it was a fantastic experience. The food we enjoyed in approx 7 different locations was varied and delicious and always with local history. We did not leave hungry at all .. would definitely recommend this tour.
