- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

What travellers are saying
- RachL2407Brisbane, Australia53 contributionsI took this walking tour on my first day in Manchester and it was a great way to get a sense of the city. Joe was a great tour guide sharing history, musical insights and a lot of interesting information about the places we visited. Would highly recommend this tour.Written 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- manxseasiderRamsey, UK386 contributionsBought this experience for my adult son and I when we were over in Manchester for international cricket.
Exciting sensation but very brief time in the actual air current. Good briefing by Mac to prepare us. We were in a group of 7 others which may have impacted on our brief ‘air-time’ to fit us all in. I had booked the additional high-fly experience for my son and I but to be honest I think that money would have been better spent on a couple of extra minutes practising the basic technique. During the high fly you are entirely under the control of the specialist instructor, whereas the basic flight experience allows you the opportunity to try and master the ‘flying’ technique with instructor guidance.
The experience is conducted in full view of those waiting in the preliminary seating area which some may find slightly off-putting.
One final bit of feedback. This venue is definitely geared to those driving there rather than public transport. We were staying in central Manchester so got the tram out to Trafford Park which then involved a 15 minute walk across dual carriageways and roundabouts. Luckily we had allowed a generous amount of time before checking in for our flight experience.Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great time in Hawkshead villageWritten 10 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - 19lellaanto14 contributionsJoe is an amazing guide. He is very passionate about his job and his city.
He told me a lot of anedots about Manchester and it was a pleasure walking with him around this beautiful city.
He played with a small radio some songs which tell the history of Manchester and explained to me the meaning of the songs and to which period or area they were referring to.
I will advice you to join a tour with Joe! This is a really great and pleasant way to discover and visit the city of Manchester.
Antonella from ItalyWritten 9 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JoeCobb3782 contributionsFor my first trip to Manchester the Present hunt/ travel companion, allowed me to explore the city in an engaging and simple way!
Would highly recommend to any families to try this out, as it makes exploring the city interactive and gives an incentive to go down random side streets and to places you would never normally go to unless you had inside knowledge or a incredible scavenger hunt to do!Written 25 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Ash took my brief and set up something totally beautiful. From the balloons, the most amazing flowers through to the personalised macarons. We had amazing weather and the setting under the cherry tree made it all extra special. I would totally recommend treating yourself or someone special to this amazing experience. I’ve now got my eye on purchasing a similar bike! 💕Written 13 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
