The 4 City Tours in Manchester That Earn Their Price

1.The Manchester City Stadium Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,176 reviews · from $35Our pick

Spend about 75 minutes behind the scenes at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium. You’ll visit the home and away dressing rooms, walk through the players’ tunnel, sit in Pep Guardiola’s dugout seat, and question a virtual Pep in the press room. Guides such as Martin, Hannah, Tim, and Gary keep the tour lively and family-friendly.

“Excellent, informative tour with guides Hannah and Tim. Grandsons loved sitting in the various seats in the Team dressing rooms and also in Pep’s seat in the dugout. Pitch looked amazing. Press conference experience with virtual Pep also a highlight. Thoroughly recommend this tour. It will be such a shame if this tour becomes self-guided as the personal guides add so much to the tour which cannot be replicated with handheld devices.”
