Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

After payment, you will receive a voucher via email. Follow the URL in the voucher to activate it, and select your desired travel date during activation (note that it cannot be modified once activated). Once the date is confirmed, you will receive a PDF file for each date along with a QR code ticket that can be imported into your Apple or Google Wallet. During actual use, the QR code may sometimes fail to scan successfully at the ticket gates; if this happens, you can ask the gate attendant for assistance. On the train, ticket inspections are quite frequent (the QR code will be scanned by the conductor).

Definitely the best one day tour from Manchester. Lake District has picturesque views. fun to take the boat cruise and steam train.

The tour guide was very interesting and humorous, and the itinerary wasn't too strenuous. The attractions were well-arranged and offered good value for money. The only downside was the extremely hot weather; the air conditioning on the tour bus wasn't cold enough, so the temperature inside the bus remained high during the midday and afternoon.

Great 4.0
Two hours was a bit rushed for the scope of the itinerary, but it was still very worthwhile to quickly gain a good understanding of the city's past and present. Unfortunately, headphones were not provided as stated in the activity description. Although our group was small, it's not ideal for a group to stop and listen on busy streets, so there were many times when we couldn't hear the explanations.

The stadium atmosphere was great, which was very nice, and the 9320 seats were also very comfortable. The farewell to Coach Pep at the end was especially touching. However, the main point is this package: I couldn't book the Etihad Stadium Tour or the Manchester City hip hop bus Tour, which is very disappointing.

It's definitely worth it, very close to the airport, and you'll sleep well too.

What to know before visiting Manchester

Quick snapshot of Manchester and what travellers book

Manchester’s Klook bookings are driven by Events & shows, attraction passes and city tours, giving the city a lively calendar year-round. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear busy periods in late autumn and quieter pockets in spring and late summer.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook data show November as the peak month for demand, while March is the quietest month. Prices drift up into early spring — peaking in March — and fall to their lowest around October; overall the priciest period on Klook is typically March while October is typically the cheapest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for October or the quieter shoulder months; visit in November if you’re after the full peak-season atmosphere. Note that demand and prices don’t always move together here: demand peaks in November but prices are highest in March, so you can sometimes find lively events without the very highest Klook prices.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book their Manchester experiences around two to three weeks ahead, with a portion booking very late (within about four days) and some booking earlier (around six weeks) for top events. If your trip is flexible, you can often secure attraction passes and tours closer to travel dates; for big shows or in November’s busy period, plan earlier and use Klook to lock in tickets and avoid disappointment.
