Chris was excellent throughout - extremely knowledgeable, personable engaging and able to really connect the dots and bring to life how LGBT history evolved & fit into the wider history of both Manchester & the world. Highly recommend - a must do!

Chris Hoyle is an excellent guide, as he has passion, knowledge, lived experience and uses his sense of humour brilliantly. He is a superb story teller. I live in the city and found out so many new things. I loved this walking tour and would recommend it unreservedly.
