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.

Great experience especially for Corrie fans, I dragged my hubby along & as a non fan he still enjoyed it! I was a bit disappointed the Rovers wasn’t open but was pleased the bar was in the museum & you could take pics pulling a pint. Ensure you wrap up if you visit in the winter as the majority of the tour is outside. Our tour guide Alfie was excellent, very informative, friendly & funny!

There is a myth that you can book a time for this, but the reality is that they just consolidate customers into groups to suit their own needs. If their timing doesn’t work for you, unlucky - and don’t bother emailing, because there’ll be no reply. We drove there from Blackpool, just to drive straight back again, because they’d moved us (twice) despite me telling them we could not go any later.

This trip was originally booked for April but I got ill and I was given the option to rebook. As I live in Ireland I couldn’t give a definite date but I was facilitated when I booked my trip to the Christmas markets. It was fantastic from when we arrived, the staff in Reception/Coffee Shop/Souvenier Shop and Museum were more than helpful and made everyone feel welcome. Robyn was a great guide and had a fabulous knowledge of all the characters/history and transformations of the set over the years. I’ll be back.

Excellent tour by our guide Robyn who was very passionate, knowledgable and answered all of our questions. Really interesting to see the street and hear examples of where certain scenes were shot. We had a great time thank you!

We had a brilliant tour with Callum! You get to see and hear lots of behind the scenes stuff and hear about the filming process.
You are not at all rushed at any point and you are encouraged to explore all of the details that the set has. We even got to see a new business coming to the street very soon!
Make sure that you take some pennies for the shop at the end. It’s harder to decide what to leave behind!

Hi. We have booked the tour for 15:15 which I believe is 90 mins. Can you visit the exhibition before or is it part of the tour? Just trying to work out what time we are likely to be leaving. Thanks

hi, I'm not sure we went into the exhibition after the tour as its on the way back to the café and shop, plus they do not allow you entry to the building until about 10mins before your allocated slot. so wouldn't have time to see the exhibition before hand.
hope you enjoy the experience, we really did.

AS said by others the nearby war museum has plenty of parking spaces and just a few minutes walk away. Enjoy your tour. There is also a tram link to media city that runs until late in the evening .
