Amazing Manchester
This was amazing tour. Mike is extremly knowledgeable and obviously loves Manchester and presents his city in a thoughtful and entertaining manner. This was one of the best private tour my wife and I have ever taken.

Amazing taxi tour of Manchester
We booked a tour with Miles with Mike Manchester Taxi Tours as a present for my dad, who has lived and worked in Manchester for all of his 80+ years. We thought he might know everything there is to know about the city — but how wrong we were! What an absolutely amazing, fun and interesting tour. We saw and learnt about so many places and things we never even knew existed. Mike gave us a completely new view of Manchester, and we’ll definitely be heading into the city centre more often now. Mike is an absolute legend and a true gent. We never stopped chatting and laughing, and he made the whole experience so enjoyable. It was a fantastic day and one we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommend Miles with Mike to anyone wanting to discover Manchester in a completely different way. 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our “Soon to be Famous” Miles with Mike Manchester Taxi Tour was brilliant!
We had a fantastic time exploring Manchester with Mike. We’re from Manchester ourselves, so we thought we knew the city pretty well, but Mike showed us places and shared stories that we’d never come across before. From St Mary’s Catholic Church to learning about the incredible history of Liverpool Road Station and its connection to the world’s first commuter train journey, we were constantly discovering something new. Mike was warm, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable, with a real passion for Manchester and its history. He brought the city to life with fascinating stories and little details that you’d easily miss if you were exploring on your own. It was relaxed, interesting and great fun from start to finish. Even as locals, we came away feeling like we’d discovered a whole new side to our own city. We’d definitely recommend Miles with Mike to anyone wanting to see Manchester through the eyes of someone who really knows and loves the city. Thanks, Mike, for a brilliant tour!

Best tour of Manchester
A superb tour of Manchester with Mike. He tailored the tour with some things we wanted to see plus we had part of the heritage tour. Mike was friendly and knowledgeable and his taxi was spotlessly clean. It was great value for money. We enjoyed it so much that the next time we’re back we’re going to book again so we can see all the bits we didn’t have time for in the 2.5 hours we spent with Mike

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manchester.
How much does Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike cost?
+
Prices start at $197 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manchester usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manchester is not rushed.
Is Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Manchester, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manchester can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manchester and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manchester within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Manchester?
+
On Outty we rank every Manchester experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manchester Afternoon Walking Tour with local guide Gareth, Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience in Manchester, Step Inside the Game Show–The Crystal Maze Experience Manchester. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Manchester?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Manchester?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

What languages is Manchester Taxi Tours with Mike offered in?

+
