Reviews of Coronation Street The Tour
T. L.
Great to see behind the scenes on ‘the street’ which is real life size. Really nice to see all of the places where the episodes are filmed and get a real life feel to the set and where it all is.
We booked online in advance.
It certainly seemed to be a benefit to have booked the first tour of the day as there were just 12 of us in the group so easy to get around and take pictures of everything.
The parking was over the water but you could possibly park at the war museum if you made it a double trip just next door.
Overall a great day and a wonderful guide in Daniel. Thanks
T. k.
Was OK, went along with someone who really wanted to go, it's a 90 minute tour at £35 per person, you get to walk through the cobbled set and get photo opportunities with abit of knowledge from the tour guide at each stop, unfortunately you can't go in the inside sets to have a look around.
D. R.
Absolutely fab day. Brilliant tour guide Rory who made the tour very entertaining, 90 minute tour, taking loads photos and not too many people on the tour in one go, would recommend for all corrie fans x
N. J.
Booked for mother's day. If your hard of hearing (like my mum) you might have trouble hearing the tour guide but we both loved the tour and had a fab couple of hours!
c. m.
The staff and the tour guide was absolutely amazing highly recommended for all families old and young great value for money parking was very, very simple and easy and cheap one of the best days out I have ever had, 50 out 10.😂
J. P.
Really enjoyed doing the tour, I'm not a huge Corrie fan but still enjoyed seeing the famous street from the show. You don't get quite as long enough in the main street, before seeing other side parts.
I would give 5 stars if you could see the indoor sets (such as The Rovers) which are at the same location. This is the outdoor parts only.
J. R.
As an avid fan of the show my girlfriend bought tickets for the tour. I have to say it was a brilliant day. Rory, our guide was enthusiastic and funny while delivering some snippets of gen on the show. He also used examples of past characters and events to sell a particular part of the street or address. I absolutely loved it. It was a really sunny day so we were blessed to have time to take some lovely photographs. I would definitely recommend the tour. And to the bosses, please make a set where we can go inside or see some of the sets! That would be ace!
Thank you for the experience and thank you Rory.
E. E.
Amazing tour guide and plenty of opportunity to take photos of the set.
M. P.
Had a great day at the tour Ellie our guide was fantastic and funny. We were there about 2 hours in the end. Ellie told us some stories and asked questions and was really funny in parts. Great experience and well worth the money
N. J.
We had a lovely time, the tour guide paul was very knowledgeable and the weather was kind to us .. ......glad we went .
S. J.
Loved our tour of the famous Coronation Street! Our tour guide Niamh was amazing! Full of fun facts and information, she made the experience that bit better for us. It’s a shame you don’t get as long on certain areas as what I would have liked but it is understandable due to the groups behind catching up as the tour groups are every 15 minutes. I would have given 5 stars if we could have gone inside at least one of the working sets but again understandable with the volume of people why this isn’t an option. The gift shop was disappointing by the time we got there there was hardly anything in there. Also we had to park a bit down the road in the museum parking but it’s not a long walk, parking isn’t an option on site.
J. C.
A coffee shop on way out would be a good idea plus the gift shop barely had anything in it plus it was very overpriced , the tour guide was very good though c
R. H.
Underwhelmed was the overriding feeling. We toured the old set in 2015 and that was much better, unlimited time outside and you saw inside the sets too, we literally spent most of the day there. This tour is all outside and only lasts 90 minutes, no extra time after to walk round. The first part of the tour we were given about 15 minutes on the street to take pictures, but the rest I felt a little rushed and couldn't take it all in. The gift shop is a little put up marquis with very limited stock, very disappointing, again on the previous tour the gift shop was much bigger and better. Not sure this tour was worth the £140 for 4 of us and a 2 hour round trip to get there. I love coronation street of course so it was really good to see the new set and be there, and the tour guide was very good and informative.
o. b.
Went on the tour on Sunday ( mothers day ) El, the young lady was our guide and was very informative about the show. No question was too small for an answer or too silly ,she answered as best she could . The only downside was that you couldn't actually see the sets where people live or inside the rovers. But all in all a really good experience
B. S.
I went on the tour on the old set, that was much better.
This tour costs more money and you get far less. I was looking forward to seeing the sets the most but this doesn’t happen anymore. I would say they need a re-think but I can’t see that happening when they are still
busy.
P. W.
I travelled by tram from Manchester Piccadilly, on exiting the tram at Media City there is not a single sign giving directions or even pointing you in the right direction. I eventually decided to follow signs to the war museum & asked for directions. The tour itself was very good & our guide Neive made it fun & interesting. There's not much in the gift shop, I asked for a carrier bag, they don't have them, they want you to buy a tote shopping bag at £3.95 - come on surely you could get a few recyclable bags. I have a broken arm so with no carrier bag I had to put my items back, didn't feel I should have to buy a shopping bag, on top of the cost of everything else.
J. B.
Dave the guide was fabulous and it is well worth a visit.
Emmerdale is next.
P. F.
Great experience callum was great leading the tour :) and I got to see Peter Barlow I still carnt believe it :D
g. W.
Visited the set on Easter Sunday -lovely weather. Our tour guide Callum was full of knowledge about the show and had loads of banter. We were lucky to have him in our group set. We were handed out little chocolate eggs as it was Easter day during the tour. Seeing the street and the close ups of all the shops and houses was surreal. Was looking forward to going to the gift shop to pick up some merchandise. Well what a disappointment that the gift shop was in fact a tent set up in the car park. No keyrings or magnets on offer to buy it was cups, tea towel and mostly chocolate (Corrie branded and normal bars of chocolate) and books (expensive)- which you can borrow for free in my library. The tour has been closed for two years due to COVID but in the meantime I read they were building a new shop and a cafe you can sit in to grab food. No sign of this unless not ready yet...
d.
Loved this. Callum the tour guide was great.
D. S.
Felt very underwhelmed and not worth the entry price. It was only just a 90min tour viewing the outside street areas only. There was no tour of the inside sets which we thought we would see like the old tour but no.
On entering there was a large que for the toilets and only 2 porta cabins available for the large crowds and you have to climb stairs. There was only one disability toilet which was not signposted so I had to ask.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Disability access was good. There is no cafe, hot drinks or a sit down area which was a suprise.
Would I recommend NO.
A. A.
Absolutely worth the price! An unreal experience and staff are lovely, really look after you. Thank you so much for looking after us! No question is too much and they really let you loose to explore and take as many photos as you like. A MUST when in Manchester!
L. M.
We had a fab time on the tour on the 29/5. Callum was very knowledgeable and had a fab sense of humour. Also the way he engaged with those on the tour especially a young lad that wanted to also be a tour guide they even gave him gifts and the tour script.
Fab tour and may do the Emmerdale one next time we visit the north.
D. S.
A great tour yesterday to Coronation Street and Salford Quays. The tour of Coronation Street was very interesting, a shame you can't go inside properties but still worth the visit. Tour guide David was excellent.
j. m.
Absolutely brilliant time, our guide, Elle, I think, was really knowledgeable, and funny with it.
N. A.
Excellent tour great guide Lauren was brilliant at showing us around explaining all about each building and the show made it very enjoyable and entertaining too well worth a visit highly recommend to everyone as well as corra fans loved it
L. E.
I loved this tour. It is fully outdoors apart from the gift shop at the end which is in a marquee so take appropriate clothing and footwear. Our tour guide Elle gave us plenty of time to take photos, ask questions, gave lots of facts and behind the scenes info. If you park at the Imperial War Museum (NCP pay later car park), its a short walk... they don't have dedicated parking for tour guests. At Granada studios, you used to be able to see the live sets indoors but you can't see that now which is a shame. You also get a photo taken outside the rovers which you can buy at the end but there's no pressure to.
G. S.
Went there with my family as we watch the show on the regular loved the set.However our tour guide (who I won’t name) rushed through it and didn’t give us much time for photo as the group was large we would have liked more time to take photos as we were waiting and then he had moved on to a different area the group behind us were going fast too and we clash a couple times apart from that it was great got a few spoilers and the set was brilliant.
D. A.
This is a great insight into the way in which Britain’s favourite drama is set, and filmed. The day I went was terrible in terms of the weather. It poured ! However the enthusiasm and insight of the guy was outstanding. The tour was well paced with plenty of opportunities to take photographs. You can even purchase a professionally taken picture outside the Rovers Return Pub. I didn’t do this but it seemed very popular. It takes around 80 minutes and is good value. It is all outdoor sets so have waterproof clothes available if the weather is inclement.
t. m.
What a great tour, we had a great guide, (only her fourth shift) Sarah, she was very informative , friendly helped with photos of us all.brill time, only thing i would say is would of liked to see a insde of a set but Sarah explained reasons why we couldnt. Great time with my mom and son special belated mothers day treat. Well done corrie.
E. G.
Had a brilliant time visiting "The Street". However, I very nearly had 2 asthma attacks (once on the way to the set and 1 on way back to dock 10), as I'm disabled and was on crutches. There's a good 5+ min walk before actually getting to the street, going over a bridge with several steps (I didn't notice any provision for wheelchair users). I would have REALLY appreciated some form of help if it had been offered! Obviously to be able to stick to the tour times, the guides have to go pretty quickly. Thankfully we were on the last tour of the day, so the fact we were well behind wasn't too much to worry about, but it did mean that we had less time to enjoy it unfortunately. However, our tour guide - Michael - was very knowledgeable and lovely which compensated for a lot.
I have already recommended the tour to several friends and family members. The ease of getting to MediaCity & Dock 10 was incredible (it was just from there to the set that was the issue!).
L. W.
We Had a brill day are tour guide Julie was lovly very informative. Think my Thomas wanted to do her job she could hardly get a word in .thank you for involving him 😁
J. S.
Had a great day Saturday tour guide was fabulous on the coronation tour my son David had bought the tickets for mother's day me and my husband went x
R. D.
Great if you're a fan. Don't expect to see any indoor sets. It is an experience and well worth seeing what you do though.
A. A.
Really enjoyed our vist on Saturday 21st May, tour guide Ella was amazing, really glad we did it emmerdale next xxx
L. D.
El was absolutely brilliant taking us round on the tour me and my friend enjoyed it very much it was a birthday present off my grandchildren and it made my birthday very special thankyou El 🙂🙂🙂
M. S.
It was really amazing to to see the street itself. But was a bit disappointed at the lack of information out guide had. (She was very young)
But even more so that you couldn’t see any of the sets where they film :(
f. o. c.
I had the best day ever, well worth taking the tour if you're a Coronation Street fan, I felt disheartened when I found out we couldn't go into the Rovers and houses but was pleasantly surprised we didn't need to go in, that feeling was there as soon as you walk onto the cobbles. I felt I was on the street for years. our tour guide Tiffany was fantastic, answered any questions we had and even though she was young she knew all the history going back 50 + years, well done to Tiffany I will certainly be going back again.
t. c.
We went on a Sunday the tour was very interesting we saw lots of familiar places never seen weather fields police station before on the show. We even went in the police cell they have a Costa coffee shop for the actors and a co op shop next to it Roy’s rolls was good and Webster’s garage looked real with a real car being fixed Preston’s petals was all set out with flowers and things prema donner looked good the rovers return was excellent would highly recommend the tour especially if your a long time coronation street fan
K. B.
Amazing day out, bonus if you're a fan of Corrie. Our tour guide Alexis was awesome and she sure knew her stuff and you could tell she loved her job which made it an even more great experience for us! Thank you.
A. D.
Really enjoyed this tour, well worth a visit. Sarah was a great tour guide.
A. S.
What a wonderful tour. Easy to get to although parking is expensive. Tour well organised and the guide was brilliant. Well worth the money.
A. C.
Loved our Tour as David our guide was fab & so knowledgeable. Plenty of time to take pictures & the group not to big.
Mega experience having our picture taken outside the Rovers Return.
E. H.
Brill. Wanted to go here for years. Very organised. Tour guide was very agreeable and informative. Taken around in small groups, pĺenty of time to take pics.. most enjoyable afternoon.
N. B.
Rory our guide was the best, very informative and very funny, thank you so much for a few great hours, thanks again and take care.
J. D.
Took my 80 year old Mother to see the set, she loved it. You can't go into the studio where the Rovers is but well wortg the money. Great tour guide who was really helpful and knowledgeable.
L. S.
Brilliant to see the set and walk around at leisure to take photos of all my favourite character houses and shops, the inside tour was also very informative and told us a few secrets to filming, great day out 😀👍
D. C.
The only thing that let it down was nowhere to get a coffee or sandwich our tour guide Sarah was amazing couldn't fault her xxxxxx
D. T.
Had a fun time visiting the Coronation Street set... seeing behind the scenes and walking the famous cobbled street. Our tour guide was Alex who made the tour entertaining as well as interesting... highly recommended.
j. w.
This tour was great fun with the family. Lots of fun facts about the street past and present and plenty of time to walk about and get some snaps. If your a corrie fan it's a must see.
s. a.
Great tour. A full hour and a half. Michael the tour guide was excellent. Despite the weather a very enjoyable experience.
H. P.
Absolutely loved my day! Rorey was an amazing guide and made us feel at ease. He explained everything really well and we got to enjoy ourself and have a relaxing experience taking everything in.
b. l.
Had a really good day out at the Coronation Street tour.Our guide Tom was friendly and made us all welcome,it was a nice sunny day,I would recommend it to everyone,I was with my daughter and Granddaughter.
M. R.
My expectations were set low; we'd been to the tour of the old set 3 times and it was brilliant. With this tour being of the working set I expected there to be big restrictions, but although it was a guided tour of the exterior set only, you get ample opportunity to have a nose around and get some photos.
The tour guides are brilliant. The whole tour lasted an hour and a quarter and It's well worth the admission fee.
M. H.
Fab tour. Guide Julie really friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
M. B.
The tour was just wonderful..Tom our tour guide took us through the history of the streets from villains to multiple marriages to who lives where, murders and love affairs...he was such a wonderful guide, making the tour so much more with his humour and approachableness... we loved the tour and we loved Tom...thanks for a great tour Tom...and how wonderful to walk down a set you've watched on the tv for over 40 years..highly reccommend!!!
S. I.
An absolutely wonderful experience. Really helped by the fact that our tour guide David was clearly a super fan and loved his job! Great day out on the cobbles, seeing where my favourite TV show is filmed. Takes about 90 mins and very good value for money.
K. M.
Absolutely loved the tour, a magical experience, Julie the guide was brilliant
I. G.
Been to the old studios and this was brilliant too. Some lovely surprises on Victoria Street. Our guide Hannah was great and so passionate!
E. A.
Really enjoyed the tour. Guide very informative and knowledgeable. A very good experience.
T. S.
Loved visiting here in November 2015, took my wife and kids who loved it to. Could touch the outfits etc and look in the sets, shame it's gone, would have visited again.
G. T.
Fantastic we loved going to see the Coronation street tour and the surrounding area was beautiful at night
I. F.
Perfect gift for my wife's birthday, she loved it, 1 down 2 to go.
D. R.
Went on the Corrie Tour at MediaCity on 24th February 2019 with my mum. It was a early Mother's Day Gift for my mum, as I paid for the tour on the Cobbled Street. Our Tour Guide Josh was an Excellent tour guide throughout the whole time from meeting at Dock 10 Studios, taking us to the Cobbled Set, then back to Dock 10 studios. Whilst on the tour I got Josh to take some group photos of me & my mum outside some of the buildings. We was meant to tour the set on Saturday 23rd February, but due to protest march in MediaCity, they had to cancel Saturday tours & book us on a Sunday Tour. Overall a great winter sunny day in Weatherfield for our tour.
C. S.
The tour guide was new only been doing it for five weeks i cant remember his name but he was brilliant and very very professional
He is a credit to you guys
The tour on the street was brilliant. Once in a lifetime experience. Shame they don’t do the indoors tour
b. w.
Seeing the corrie buildings and shops was interesting I was surprised how close together all the shops were. The guide knew her stuff , we were all asked questions about the characters. It was all good fun.
G. S.
If your a corrie fan this tour is a must.Terrific guide very knowledgeable
S. S.
It was a birthday surprise which was absolutely amazing if your a Corrie fan
The set is really nice to walk through, I can now cross this off of my bucket list
P. B.
Excellent tour from start to finish wud highly recommend doing. Our tour guide David was brilliant
G. K.
Great tour. Guide Ellie was first class.
M. F.
We was on the 10.15am excellent host who shown us around
A. M.
Coronation street tour was great only bad point was the rain a must see for a corrie fan
J. S.
Great day out! Saw all the iconic places in the Street. Now watching Corrie on TV is even more entertaining!
A. L.
Did the tour yesterday in the pouring rain! Didn't care that it was raining x it was brilliant x our guide was Alexis and she made sure we were all getting great photos and all the Corrie facts xx
A. P.
Was a really good tour, Was only external set though, but was still good.
C. W.
If you're a fan of the show you'll enjoy the experience. A little boring and expensive if you're only a casual watcher. Free professional photo was a great bonus
G. W.
Really enjoyed the tour ! Super friendly guide who made it all that special...thanks Jenna.
D.
Fantastic day out the tour was fab. Recommended any corrie fan to have a look around.
A.
It was really exciting to be on the cobbles after watching the show for so many years, this is an absolute must for any Corrie fans. A great family day out that will live long in the memory. We even missed our timeslot due to bad traffic and the staff assigned us another free of charge. Very happy customers.
P. L.
Well worth a visit for street fans. Would suggest that you go in the summer as everything is outside. Would be better if you could see some of the the interior sets as you can on the Emmerdale tour.
J. S.
Great visit lots to see great your guide Ben very informative
W. S.
Absolutely fabulous so enjoyable.
Given time to take own photos around the set. Tour guide Emily was excellent in knowledge and delivery of the tour friendly and approachable. The official photo excellent value £5 for 1 or £7.50 for 2. Well done.
L. K.
An absolutely fantastic day. Daniel our guide was full of knowledge and was enthusiastic throughout.
The weather was really nice, even though it can get windy because it is near the river, but once you get on the street, it is sheltered from the wind and really felt the heat.
I took my mum for her 60th birthday so she really is a life long fan of the show. She really enjoyed the tour.
The gift shop is not up to much though, there is little selection to choose from and quite pricey, 7 pounds for a mug with the rovers on or a fridge magnet, 3 pounds.
You do meet up near the BBC studios and the walk across to the coronation street tour, which is not a big walk at all.
It is a great day out for all
j.
We had a great time here. The tour lasts around 80 minutes. You get given information by your tour guide then you are free to wonder around that particular area before moving on.
It was raining when we went but it didn’t spoil it.
You can not go into the rovers or any other place like a lot of people of already said. Wear comfortable shoes as the cobbles are slippy and there is a bit of walking!
R. C.
It was fantastic, although it rained pretty heavy at times, I enjoyed it all the same. I was visiting from Canada, and this tour was a special surprise gift from my daughter and her husband whom I was visiting. Amy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Coronation St., and its cast, and very friendly. Thanks Amy. A Great afternoon !
S. L.
Fascinating and tour guide was fab sorry can't remember his name but we were there on the 9/9@4pm
C. F.
Got tickets for my nan for her 70th Birthday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Our guide, Tiffany, was fantastic from start to finish, can't speak highly enough of her. Loved learning all the little facts and the free souvenir photo was a great keepsake. There was plenty of time to take all the photos we wanted and explore everything on offer. Would recommend this 100%...£35 to walk down one of the most iconic sets going!
R.
Went yesterday with my little sister as a late birthday present for her, we both had a great time despite the horrible weather. Our tour guide was Amy and she was great, very informative and upbeat eventhough everyone was drenched with the rain (including herself). Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves the show and wants to experience first hand what it feels like to walk on those famous cobbles.
M. P.
We visited the coronation street tour Saturday the 25th of May for my daughters 10th birthday (she’s a huge fan) we were SO lucky with the weather having a warm sunny dry day to walk the cobbles. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour it was brilliant to see the street - personally as a family we were more interested in exploring the set and taking photos rather than listening to information given by the tour guides however they were brilliant! It was a great experience, plenty of opportunities to take photos, we have loads! I agree with others In regards to group sizes being too large and maybe if they spaced out times of tours a little it wouldn’t feel as rushed, definitely could have spent more time exploring, would have been nice to meet an actor or two and yes also would be great to be able to have a drink in the rovers but we LOVED it ♥️
A. M.
We haven’t been for 30 years (It was then in the Granada Studios site) - it is really is only exteriors of all the streets, but so interesting for the die hard fan. Our guide, Conor, provided us with so many Corrie facts and offered to take our photos when requested - he was so enthusiastic about what happens in filming. We had to check in for the Tour in a separate building (Dock 10), which is on the other side of the Ship Canal from the ITV Studios which houses the Tour. In Dock 10 there are the only toilets, a cafe (Penelope’s Deli) and a small souvenir shop. The guide hands out wrist bands ( we all had the same colour on our tour) just before we left the Dock 10 building. It was fascinating to see the Street in reality- it enables you to understand where the different streets are in relation to one another. The tour lasts 90 minutes and there are just one or two places where there are seats, so be prepared to be on your feet. All in all a must for the Corrie fan - it is very good value for me - £20 each for us.
J. P.
Brilliant tour- well worth the money. However the directions to reception are abysmal. We saw at least three other families totally lost like us and who had ended up at the studio turnstile only to be given the correct directions by a security guard. The door to reception is almost opposite the side of Costa on Blue. A sign outside would be helpful along with a street map, not a Google map.
J. S.
My husband treated me to this tour for Xmas Gift we both throughly enjoyed it so excited to the street which I have watched for many years. David our tour guide was very informative we asked lots of questions we never felt hurried. Would certainly recommend this tour.
S. W.
For any Corrie fan, this is a superb way to see how they film on set. The tour takes about an hour and a half, during which time you'll learn about the history of the series, the different sets that have been used over the life of the program and be able to walk down both Coronation Street and Victoria Street and see inside some of properties like Webster's garage, Preston's Petals and the Weatherfield police station. After the tour the Imperial War museum is also worth a visit and the entrance is free.
K. M.
Fab time last Sunday as a family on the actual Coronation Street set!! It was great to walk the cobbles and take photos. Our guide Tiffany was fab! She knew her stuff and was so friendly! We saw some spoilers which were a treat and can’t wait to see them on screen. Tour lasted for an hour and half and was well worth it! Definitely recommend! Thank you 😊
R. K.
Had a fab time with the family on a cold November afternoon. It was a very surreal experience seeing the houses, corner shop, bistro and underworld as used to seeing it on tv. Sadly none of the cast members were around but still a really good time. There isn’t any clear signage to checking in but the staff were really helpful as we missed our appointment time, they booked us into a later tour. Tour guide Emily was very informative and pleasant. Got a lovely photo and lots of phot opportunities around the set.
C. A.
Always been a coronation Street fan when the tour's started me my mom dad and brother thought wow can't wait it really is a fantastic tour everything you want to see from the episodes are there I would love to go again would recommend to anyone I will be booking soon as the covert 19 restrictions are lifted 👍😀
G. J.
Had a great day yesterday on the corrie tour. Christmas decorations were up so we had a sneak preview into the future. Our tour guide David was brilliant, certainly knew his stuff and was very entertaining. Plenty time to take photos and walk the street, thoroughly enjoyed it and well worth the money.
A. T.
The corrie tour is amazing, you actually feel like you are on an ordinary Manchester street. The tour guide was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about coronation street and also quotes that Tony Warren once said! If I was offered, I would definitely be doing this tour again but instead of going into Manchester I would want to explore Salford!
M. N.
Brilliant day out
L. W.
Excellent tour on the Cobbles however our only criticism was that the group sizes are too big Its impossible to hear what the guide has to say with so many people stood around. She couldve done with a microphone really but she was very well informed about characters and storyline Would recommend this tour during dry weather as it's all outside and as it's on the quayside is extremely windy Loved the day out and would even do it again
n. l.
Visted on Saturday last from Dublin, it was a Birthday gift for my Mother. Wasn't sure what expect but have to say it was really enjoyable. The set itself is so real. Martin our Tour Guide was lovely and well connected with the group. Lots of humour and testing our knowledge of Corrie over the years along the way. Loads of photo opportunities and a souvenir free photo which was a nice touch. Highly recommended for any Corrie fan 😊
E. T.
If this was your first visit I'm sure you would be impressed but this was our third visit having been to earlier venues in the eighties which included, as other people have mentioned, access to studio settings etc. as well as other ITV series which were being broadcast at the time. Our tour guide was brilliant though (Tony I think) especially as the weather was atrocious, he kept our interest with his broad knowledge of the cast etc.
B. H.
My daughter and I went ..... a birthday present for her as she's a big Corrie fan.
Have to say we loved it ..... Tiffany our guide was great ..... very informative and loads of time to take photos. Definitely recommend ....
C. B.
Went to the tour with our Drama Group Bit of Everything there were 50 of us.
Every last one of us had an absolutely fantastic time. Amy, our guide was great, she answered all questions that were put to her, and took a fab photo of us all outside the Rovers 😁😁
Thank you from all our young people, parents and carers at Bit of Everything for making our time with you so Special
👍👌🌟🌟
R. A.
Had a great day at Media City with my Partner Karen. It is strangely great treading the cobbles where so many famous actors have walked! Our guide Dave was informative and entertaining
S. M.
Was really interesting and the guide we had was brilliant. Was great to be able to walk on the cobble stones. Would have been nice to get into the Rovers or some of the other places on the set.
R. H.
Brilliant day out, strange feeling wandering down the streets and back alleys of the most famous street in Britain!
c. f.
Well just done the tour and considering am not a massive fan of the show i really enjoyed it. Our guide was good and i absolutely loved seeing the street. Looked through almost all the letter boxes lol. I thoroughly recommend it. Touch the handles of 1 of the buildings ill not say which one? They are the actual handles of the original rovers return. Defo 5 stars. 👍
A. F.
Absolutely brilliant, it was all so familiar, our tour guide, Amy was brilliant. Managed to take loads of photos, and had our photo taken outside the Rover's, mounted, for just a fiver. Can't wait to go again

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the tour, but for what you pay I felt it was a bit rushed and with another tour group hot on our heels you didn't get much time to get photos without crowds. The tour guide Tiffany was really good though and enthusiastic. I'm glad we got a Wowcher deal as I wouldn't want to pay full price
J. L.
Enjoyable tour on a nice day. I thought these tours included internal visit to the pub, but no 😔 it was all out doors. Guide was really nice though - Josh I think he said his name was?
A. W.
Good tour, but wrap up warm!
p. h.
Great tour guide learned some history about corrie had a great time worth a visit
A. G.
Had a great time on the Corrie took my daughter mom and dad all really enjoyed it and dads not even a fan.It was great seeing behind the scenes and all the sets brought back so many fond memories. Great having our pictures took outside and inside the Rovers. Great day out for all and a sensible price Thanks Martin for a great tour and the inside information. A wo
Y. K.
Fantastic. .a great trip. ..Mike North is such a nice guy
D. S.
Fantastic experience, i'm not a massive coronation street fan but do catch up with the show when i can and i was dragged along initially by my daughter, but what a brilliant experience it still was, from start to finish it was made exciting and factually interesting by our host Alexis who was an absolute star. I couldn't recommend the tour enough and had a wonderful evening from start to finish.
b. t.
A great experience, however, rather rushed at times. A conveyor belt system with the next tour session close behind. Not to be missed though and the street is well set out with a lot of historic knowledge provided by the guide. Media city uk is well set out and a lovely area to visit.
E. K.
Our son bought us tickets for Christmas for the cornation street tour. We did the tour today and really enjoyed it. Our tour guide Josh was very informative and pleasant gave us plenty of time to take photos and eventook photos for us using our phones. Would recommend it to any corrie fan. Congrats
T. H.
Was far better than I was anticipating. Only criticism for me was I felt the group's were too large and struggled to get some photos. It would be good if the theme tune played as you walked on to the street. Highly recommend for any Corrie lovers.
I. W.
This was one of the best days i've ever had. our guide was Mac and he was lovely, very knowlegable and great fun. my granddaughter Alice (18) loved every minute of it and had her photo taken outside of every shop, house etc. The photos taken in the Rovers are great quality and worth every penny.I would love to do the tour all over again, such a shame its finishing soon. Thank you to everyone involved in putting the tour together. A great day out for any Corrie fan.
C. D.
Excellent. Well worth the money. Both tour guides were very knowledgable about the shows past & present. Very in depth detailed tour.
Thanks to Ben & Michael.
Lookout for Ben especially as he could easily pass as david platts brother from another mother.
Script writers should seriously look into this!

We visited today 22nd June. We had booked for the 10.40 tour but were early so they put us on the 10.30 one. Hannah was our guide and she was great, very confident and knowledgeable. It was great to see clips from the early corrie years and to see all the sets . Hannah kept telling us to take our time and have a good look round. We had our photo taken in the Rovers and didn't think it was a rip off to buy at the end (we got 2 for £10 ) Then at the end of the tour we went out into the street itself and could wander round and take photographs for as long as we wanted. All the staff were helpful and polite from the café to the lady who checked our tickets but Hannah was the best. We probably would never have done the tour but we took friends from Canada but we are so glad we went and would recommend it .
D. M.
Its a lovely experience to have walking, on the cobbles. We had awesome time last weekend with Carols on the Cobbles with Allied Jones and Russell Watson. We were all singing, and dancing and have a ball talking to the Coronation Street products and the guest. A life time experience. 😎 💜.xx
B. F.
A must for fans of the show as you litterally walk the cobbles!
The inside tour is interesting to see how this show was made for 50 years and the sets are good (with the main bit being the Rovers).
Walking the street on your own is good and because there is so much to see it doesn't really matter how busy it is. A great day out.
J.
Really interesting tour if you're a fan or if like me, you watch it because the other half does and sometimes you get drawn in when there's a good storyline. Easy to get to and reasonably well priced, but if there was the opportunity to see the interior sets and a bit more time to look around it would be great value.
N. B.
Fantastic staff. The weather wasnt great we had storm Ciara. They offered us to re book or a full refund or we could try the tour and see how we got on. Thankfully we had a break in the weather for our tour. Very knowledgable staff (amy and David) couldnt have been anymore helpful. A must visit for any Corrie fan
C. H.
The tour itself was really good and our guide Jennifer was very knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint was the gift shop was extremely expensive and I only realised when I got home and looked at my receipt that I'd got over charged, £14.99 for a medium sized teddy bear which I was certain was priced up on the shelf at £8.95 and got changed £8.95 for a small bear which I'm sure was priced up at just over £5. Word of warning been sure to check when buying souvenirs.
A. S.
Felt very rushed, not like the old one where you could wonder around at your leisure. Had a problem with the camera that we got told was fixed for our official photos outside the rovers but when we got to the end the photos were unavailable. Had groups crossing between each other due to a lack of control of some guides and the gift shop is full of generic rubbish with a corronation street sticker on.
j. n.
Great to walk down the street, but i think you should at least be able to go into the rovers. The old tour was much better that you got to see inside different places and indoor sets. Not worth £35
J. W.
Such an informative tour, thanks to Michael our great guide for today. As a Corrie fan fab to see where it is actually filmed outdoors. Personally loved the ginnel, out the back of the pub & Victoria St gardens........scrap that loved it all!!
B. G.
Even though it rained all day we still had a great time on my favourite street, walking on those famous cobbles.
J. A.
The old Coronation Street Tour (actually called the Granada Studio Tour) was a tour and a half. Indoor exibits as well as out door sets for several shows made by Granada such as Sherlock Holmes etc etc.
If you were expecting something a long these lines for the new Coronation Street tour you will be very disappointed.
This tour is Exactly what it says on the tin and to be fair their website makes this very clear.
The Die Hard Coronation Street fans will love it to bits, but I found it very restricted.
A) The Tours only operate from February until June.
B) They only run on Selected weekend's and there's no just turning up at the door so too speak.
You need to book your tickets and time slot online on the dates made available.
C) There are no indoor exhibits so check the weather forecast before you go.
The site is very wheelchair friendly and the tour guide is very friendly and professional.
Tours last around an hour and a half ( ish ) as every effort is made to keep the pace to the slowest visitor.
Sovineer shop available for all your bits and bobs and I will let you decide if what's on offer is value for money or not.
This is a good Exibition for fans of the show with good transport links.
H. S.
Was so much better than I thought it would be, we loved it. The tour guide Michael was fab, very knowledgable and was great with us. If your a Corrie fan it’s well worth a visit
K. S.
Family experience and wow it was great. Terrific guides with plenty of knowledge. Lots of photo opportunities. A day we will never forget and cant wait to watch next episode of Corrie. Thanks Guys
c. d.
Tour with issed opportunities
Molly our tour guide was fantastic, full of knowledge. Great to see the steet and get photos. was dissapointed not to see the sets. Getting a photo behind the bar is what i would have like, but no longer allowed. I do fail to understand why they could not have done a mock set for photo opportunties, this was a big big let down for me.
A. L.
Myself, my partner and our 6 year old daughter went yesterday. It was brilliant - we had a fabulous time. Aussie Pete was our tour guide and he was great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I want to go again!!!
J. A.
(WELL WORTH IT) We loved waking on the cobbles of the corrie set. One more thing ticked off the bucket list. The tour guide was brilliant and the prices are surprisingly cheap.
M. S.
We had a fantastic time on the Coronation Street Tour. Our tour guide was Mack, who was just brilliant!!! He was really energetic, entertaining and kept everyone engaged. We loved having our photograph taken in the Rovers and on The Street. A very memorable experience.
A. H.
Absolutely fantastic, will never watch corrie the same way again!!! our tour guide Alex was brilliant and full of knowledge, plenty of photo opportunities, anyone who loves corrie I highly recommend this tour thank you
C. C.
FANTASTIC!!
Went July 2015 with my partner and even though we booked the 15:10 tour we got there at 15:05 and was told our tour had started but we waited a couple of minutes and they added us onto the 15:20 tour, apart from that was amazing! Our tour guide with a lovely young woman called Sammy (pretty easy on the eyes) she took us around the inside sets and was very knowledgeable and then lead us into the outside street, great opportunity for pictures, we also did a free little tour called Secrets of the Street which was 10/15 mins with another tour guide walking around giving us facts.
We got a picture pulling a pint in the Robers and we can the photo not the usb stick and wasn't too expensive either.
Over all really good and recommend 100%
M. J.
After watch Corrie for years, we decided to do the Corrie Street Tour and we all loved it! Our guide, a lovely Irish Guy was witty and knowledgeable and it was great seeing all of the sets and spending time on the cobbles afterwards.
I would recommend this for the young or old as it is enjoyable for everyone!
A. M.
Fantastic experience. Great tour guide and great fun.
S. B.
Like many on the tour I am not the Corrie fan in our house but still very much enjoyed the tour. The sets, the costumes and The Street itself will appeal to everyone even if you don't watch the show. It was fun to learn a number of "behind the scenes" clues that give another dimension to watching the show. Time flies by and if you have a Corrie fan in your house they deserve to have you share the tour with them.
M. J.
As a long time Corrie fan it was an amazing experience to be able to walk down the street itself, even look through some of the letterboxes!
Our guide, Abi, told us all sorts of interesting facts about the set, the history of the show and characters past and present - even the pets (eg David's dog 'David') and really made it such a fab day.
L. C.
Visited yesterday with my 8 year old granddaughter. Having visited the old Quey Street tour 4 times in the past, I thought it would be similar so I was very disappointed with just a walk down the Street. Previously I saw in house sets, wardrobe, make up departmentmakecostumes etc. Would not reccomend now.
Expensive for what it was and I am a massive Corrie fan . mak,cotdepartmentmakecostumes,
S. B.
Well what can I say.. The tour was amazing & our tour guide "Daniel" what an amazing tour guide he was.. He made it our visit worthwhile & interacted with us all.. He didn't rush us or anything he definitely was amazing at his job.. I would highly recommended this to anyone the only thing that let it down was the weather but that didn't stop us having a good time..
C. O.
Fabulous-what a great experience and as a life long Corrie fan, it was fantastic to be on the set-our guide Daniel was first class and we had a great time-thank you and highly recommend.
B. F.
we had a wonderful afternoon on Saturday 14th march .We arrived early as advised and were put in an earlier group our tour guide was fantastic full of knowledge and facts of characters and story lines.we watched a film reel and that was most enjoyable. When the door opeaned out on to the street with the coronation street theme tune playing we were amazed it was just WOW.
G. K.
Excellent tour performed by our guide, Gemma. Seeing all the inside sets was excellent and once you got outside it was surreal to be standing where your favourite actors once stood. No photos are allowed inside but once you're outside its a free for all. Don't forget the ginnel as well. Excellent value for money.
a. h.
Had a good time on the Coronation Street tour. Our tour guide Paul was very good and made us laugh. Would definitely recommend it to any Corrie fans. Walking on the famous cobbles was amazing.
N. K.
Had a fab birthday treat looking round the Corrie Set on Sat...great weather and fantastic guide Phil who knew all his info!!..A little disappointed as would of loved to look around at least one of the indoor sets ie the Rovers..Enjoyable tho...i will watch the Street and visualise where we were from now on!!..

“Tour Guide Martins Marvellous Coronation Street Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2014 NEW
My Sister, her 12 year old daughter and myself decided that we would visit The Coronation Street Studio Tour in Atherton Street, Manchester as we are fans of the show.
I bought the tickets via Ticketmaster and was surprised as I thought that there were only 3 time slots but in actual fact there were lots throughout the whole day from morning to earl evening and about 1 hour apart. We chose 4pm as we wanted to be on the street just as it was starting to get dark. It stated on Ticketmaster that it was a guided tour and this never clicked that we would be accompanied lol.
We landed a great Tour guide by the name of Martin. Now how fortunate were we as Martin was fantastic and filled our 1 hour tour with fascinating facts and little quizzes for us and made us laugh lots. We were showed a 5 min video that ran through 50 years of Corrie and it was full of clips that had made big story lines over the years. It hit all our emotions from gasps and sighs to oohs and arrs and even had me fighting back the tears lol....I know all in 5 mins.
We were guided around the Studio and shown various sets and asked to name which homes belonged to which characters and what did we remember about one of the famous story lines that had happened with certain characters who lived there. It was great reliving some historical soap story lines. We got to see the dressing rooms of some of the longest standing soap stars, the make up room, the costume department & the control room where the producers sit. The best part for us was when we were able to enter The Rovers Return and get behind the infamous bar and have a picture taken. That was superb!
When the guided tour was over we entered the Street to the theme tune of Coronation Street, which gave us goosebumps, as the doors were pushed open. Then we had about 1 hour to wander the street and take as many pics as we wanted, bonus!
My advice to visitors would be make sure you have your camera and ladies flat shoes are a must as the famous cobbled street is a bit of a mission to walk on. Look for all day parking which is a fraction of the cost. We went on a Sunday and it was only £5 all day. We went to one called The Opera car park. We never had a chance to eat there as at that time the only cafe we saw was closed but we were not interested in food as we were going to eat in the centre of Manchester later.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and are definitely going back and urge you guys to go before the Studio is closed for good which said to now be into 2015.
I would recommend this tour for 10 year olds and over.
Would have been better if there were more street lighting as it is now Autumn as some of our pictures were fuzzy due to lack of lighting.
I do think that there should be a much smaller ticket price for children. £15 for a child over 5 and £16.50 for an adult.
It would have been even better if there were more possibilities to see form cast members and had photo opportunities.
Visited November 2014
L. M.
Fantastic well worth a visit went for my mums 70th, she loved it too
P. J.
It's the real thing you don't realise how big it is on tv. I took my granddaughter for her birthday she had wanted to go for so long. They made it special by letting birthday girl walk in first. My daughter and other Grandaught was exited to we had a lovely experience would of been so perfect if one of the cast could of been there but kate and Curk have been intouch with Holly since and that's been the highlight for her to.
E. F. (.
Absolutely fantastic. Such an iconic set to visit and well worth the money. Such a shame the tour is finishing because I would visit again and again. I'm sure a lot of Coronation Street fans would do also. Please keep it open guys! 😃
G. B.
Loved every second of it!!!!! Would defo do it again
K. S.
Had a brilliant morning here a few years ago enjoyed it all, was really good to see the set before it was demolished, I remember visiting it many times as a kid when it was granada studios. Really looking forward going on the tour of the new set.
N. A.
Great family day out for Corrie Fans
L. H.
Great 90 minute tour, if I had seen some interior sets, especially inside the Rovers it would have been 5*
R.
Great day out, tour guide was very informative and interactive. He managed to keep a large group on track too. Loved seeing some of the behind the scenes bits.
N. J.
I'm a massive fan of Coronation Street and since the tours opened in April 2014 I've been six times (!). It's a great day out if you'd like to see a part of iconic British soap history and want a look at what goes on 'behind the scenes'.
My only criticism is that you are not permitted to take photos inside Stage One. They cite copyright (which is understandable) but it would be nice to capture what we don't see on screen.
Tours end on 31/12/2015 after which the former Granada backlot will be demolished. Make sure you book your tickets ASAP.
Edit: managed to visit for a 7th and final time. Robert (our tour guide) was professional, vibrant and downright hilarious.
A.
Loved Coronation Street The Tour It was AMAZING!
We landed with a tour guide called Katie she was very knowledgeable about corrie and very enthusiastic ! Great day out. LOVED walking down the Cobbles!
Very much Recommended ! :)
C. H.
Great tour. Not as good as the old set but still was worth every penny. Guid was excellent and very informative.
G. G.
Enjoyed the tour and the tour guide Molly was fab only a bit annoyed with the team that dealt with professional photographer we had photos took but couldn't get them after tour some problems but all the tours before us and after got there's....
J. M.
What a wonderful day, to be able to touch the wedding gowns of Carla, Tracey and Beth, to see Hayley's beautiful coffin and to stand behind the bar of the Rovers Return. Angie our tour guide was both an encyclopaedia of Corrie history and a wonderful funny and entertaining guide.The only sad part was not being able to take photo's of the sets but the opportunity to stand on those cobbled streets and walk down the ginnel past the back yard where Rob hid the iron bar and the jewellery was thrilling. I have been watching since the first episode when I was in my early teens and hope to be able to watch it for many years to come. Thank you Angie for the memories.
L. C.
Bit disappointed as we expected this tour to match or better the quarry street corie tour. At the old Corie tour you could enter the green room make up room and some indoor sets the plats house and also see costumes and even ena sharples hair net and lot more interesting props. Then you could go behind the bar of the rovers for your photo taken. But now it's just the cobbles and a photo outside the rovers.
J. R.
Great experience. The guide ,Tom, was very knowledgeable and humourous. I didn't feel that we were rushed, although there was another tour close behind. If your a fan , this is a must, far better than the old set , for obvious reasons. Definitely recommend.
G. D.
Throughout childhood coronation street was a big part of life so to be able to actually walk on them cobbles was a dream come true !!
J. t. g. w. a. T.
Incredible place. If you like corrie or other soaps then you will truly love this place. It really brings it all to life and you get to feel like a character in the soap for the day. Truly loved it.
S. P.
Tour is all outdoors these days - very little opportunity to see other than the set exteriors. Very expensive for what it is but if you are a Corrie fan then I suppose a must see.
C. W.
Great tour very enjoyable ideal for any corrie fan
R. W.
Very good tour of the external locations used for filming this historic TV show. Just a shame the internal parts and exhibitions previously st the Granada location havent been included yet
K. M.
Had a fantastic time, our tour guide Tom was brilliant. Would definitely recommend it not even the rain could spoil the experience
M. W.
Great tour, Katie our tour guide was great if was a 50 minute tour we got to see the Platt's house and Tyrone's house and Hayley's coffin and Martha's boat.
Travel And Parking
We travelled down by car and parked in the car park on New Elm Road which is just off Walter Street off the A6042 Cost £5 for all day. 10 Minute walk to the Coronation Street Tour.
Entrance Fee
Tickets cost £16.50 for adults and can be purchased through the internet. (Transaction fee applies through Ticketmaster)
You must arrive 30 minutes prior to your tour booked time
c. h.
FANTASTIC! Our tour guide was Martin and from the go he was brilliant, and funny! He seemed to take to my son maison straight away as my son walked straight threw check in, martin said hello and maison walked straight on lol.. he made a joke about it and kept maison involved through the whole tour! so thank you martin for making our corrie tour brilliant, and involving my kids, we all have never forgot u! hope to meet you again sometime! x :)
C. J.
A wonderful experience lovely guide Tiffany so glad we came! We have been avvid fans of the Street since first broadcast and still great storylines keep it up Coro just love it!!!
L. R.
If you've watched Coronation Street over the years and you never went to Granada Studios Tour back in the day, then you should try to get to this whilst it's available.
I went with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed seeing the other side of Coronation Street.
It's only open for about 6 months so get in whilst you can!
k. h.
We went last Sunday night , our tour guide was a lovely girl called Sammy . The sets and street are bigger than I thought , well worth £17 each and I got a pic behind the Rover's bar , great night , see it before it closes for good in December
Z. E. B.
Being a massive soap fan, when I heard that tours of the Coronation Street set at the old Granada Studios site were coming to an end I was online booking my tickets before you could say 'Betty's hotpot'.
Leah, our guide for the evening, was brilliant and made the tour really fun and informative. This included showing us round dressing rooms, wardrobe, some famous interior sets and offering us the chance to get behind the bar at the Rovers Return.
The tours finish on Saturday 4th October so if you'd like to experience this vital part of Manchester's cultural heritage get a move on!
p. J.
Hello My mam and visited the tour on the 16th september and we both really enjoyed it. our guide was very informative think it was ben, We did the 11.20 tour. if only it was on next year would definately come back
b. j.
Fab Day on the Coronation Street Tour Dan was our guide very informative he knew everything about the program going back years that lad was made for the job.Really enjoyed it well worth the visit it was fon thankyou "Dan".

S. H.
A Fabulous experience treading those famous cobbles and 'almost' pulling a pint in the Rovers Return... taking photos of me standing outside the Late Duckworths stone clad house and the backdrop through the Viaduct is so realistic! really Pleased they have now extended to being able to go inside the Kabin and the Tours are continuing for ALL to enjoy! A Very Happy Coro Fan
Sheila.
J. B.
Had an amazing time, so much fun and very informative.
K. M. f. N. Z.
Really good. The guide even spoke with a Coronation Street accent.
J. B.
Great tour, great tour guide. Its great to see behind the scenes and be able to walk on the cobbles. Well worth a visit, especially if your w TV or soap fan.
L. J.
Fabulous afternoon although it poured down the whole time. Tiffany was our tour guide and did a brilliant job. Well worth a trip 😊
A. H.
Great tour. Molly our guide was really good and informative. Booked this trip as part of our trip from Australia. Worth going to.
J. W.
very enjoyable experience bringing back memories of so many years ago but spoiled by noise. When we came out of stage 1 prior to going into the Rovers Return noise from the next party drowned out our speakers script
A. A.
Excellent tour. Only 4 stars given for the whole experience as the cafe closes at 3pm so wasn't able to get a hot drink after a very cold tour.
A. W.
Excellent day out for me and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed even though weather was bad but even that didnt spoil the fun even caught a cheeky glimpse of Peter Barlow alway s a bonus.
J. S.
Went today September 22nd loved it so much amazing to see the cobbles our guide tom was amazing full of corrie knowledge loads of pics took it felt really good to walk the cobbles you see on tv all the houses and not forgetting good old rovers return best day ever all I can say is go absolutely 1st class thank you corrie tour
L. B.
This was brilliant. Just would have liked to see some of the sets but otherwise I would highly recommend it for Coronation Street fans.
S. R.
Great tour, but it was a bit difficult to hear the tour guide, could have done with a microphone or something to enhance magnify her voice.
B. B.
Just the best trip ever.
D. G.
Over priced at £35 per person. Plus you cannot see inside the Rovers or any of the buildings. It's a completely outside tour
E. T.
we had a great tour with an excellent tour guide Phil, we strongly recommend the tour to all corrie fans in fact we enjoyed it so much we will be back before the sad close in December.
H. W.
Took my mum who has watched it from the start, thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide Shannon was great and full of knowledge. Recommend a visit before it finishes
S.
It was a great day out, only downside was that it felt a little rushed and the tour groups are too big so it was difficult to get clear pictures of the set without getting everyone on in the background.
S. L.
It was a once in a lifetime experience especially as it has moved sick I went to in the coronation Street Tour last year. Loved every minute
T.
Enjoyed being at Coronation street however felt rushed along by the tour guide.. the next group was too close, could hear everything other guide was saying..therefore only 4 stars
F. M.
It was brilliant we had the tour guides last day for ever so we are so glad worth every penny
T. P.
A must for any corrie fans, not very long but you get to feel what it's actually like to be on the street. Really interesting. Lots to do in Manchester afterwards.
m. p.
Had an episode of vertigo so could not walk around the set without nearly falling over , staff and tour guides got me some water to drink and provided a wheelchair for me to see the rest of coronation street, l want to say thankyou to you all who made sure l was ok and kept looking out for me during the visit l made with my family today 25 august.THANKYOU from mrs margaret pike.
N. F.
Bought as a present for my wife and she loved every minute. Really interesting behind the scenes guided tour and then as much time as you want wandering around the famous cobbles!
P. L.
It is well worth a visit to Media city.
The guide was very knowledge
Get a deal for £25 as the full price is too much
P. M.
We had a fantastic day loved every minute of it Emily was really knowledgeable about Coronation Street. I would really recommend it to all Corrie fans.
K. M.
... great to be part of an iconic TV series and actually visit the orginal set ... excellent guide in David showing the indoor sets ... with the younger Phil showing us the street set and disclosing some TV secrets ... a good tour attraction ... would recommend it ... ...
c. m.
Fantastic chance to see the street!
J. F.
Brilliant tour and tour guide was very good. Looked forward to this tour and wasn't disappointed in any way

J. R.
Really enjoyable tour , informative and amusing. I would definitely recommend for fans of the show, also the facilities at metro city are great.
P. C.
Been to the tour today apart from it being rushed I've really enjoyed the tour but was disappointed that we couldn't actually go in to the Rovers but we had a great day at the tour x
G. S.
Great to see the street we have watched for so long in real life. Now view the programme differently to what we used to. A great tour.
C. E.
Brilliant night out our tour guide martyn was very knowledgable and real good fun,had such a laugh! So Sad its going to be closing for good it could bring a lot more tourism to manchester x
D. B.
Was nice to see woul have given more stars but you don't get to see any sets and I think it's a bit expensive for what you get it can be done in 20 minutes not 90
R. S.
Fabulous tour, very knowledgeable guide.
l. w.
went on the tour today 2-7-2015.loved it.the young girl who was our tour guide was brilliant.cant remember her name .the tour it self was awsome.
J. D.
Want to peer through a letter box and admire Roy's rolls? Then this is the tour for you! Brilliant way to spend a rainy (or sunny if you're lucky) afternoon.
w. w.
Had a great time it was good to see behind everything.👍
K. S.
The tour was very good however you cannot actually go inside anywhere and we were stood in the rain
P. R.
Although our guide Tom was very informative, I found my experience was disappointing compared to when it was on the previous site, it was badly sign posted, people going the wrong way, then having to retrace their steps and repeat the process, especially people with disabilities having to deal with steps.
J. K.
The set is amazing you really can't believe how the cast have to film in and out of the street I was mesmerised I'm so glad I visited
K. H.
Me and my mum loved it! Our tour guide Luke was fab too, would defo recommend going!
E. K.
Loved it! Couldn't fault the tour and had a really great day learning lots of interesting bits and bobs. I thought it was great value for money.
E. B.
Amazing experience ! Just wish it could of lasted longer and that I could have seen some of the interior sets but overall definitely worth doing!
C. B.
This tour was brilliant! Will be doing it again, well worth the money and to walk down the famous cobbles.
H. D.

Great to see the actual set of Coronation Street. Quite expensive for what is just a stroll down the street. Not as good as the tour of the old set before it was demolished

Went on the Corrie Tour on 22nd March 2015.Our guide for the indoor sets was Shannon who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.I felt there wasn't enough time allowed for looking at each set properly and that each group was too big.Outside on the cobbles was excellent.Good photo opportunities and could have stayed as long as you wanted (had you not been on a coach tour, as I was !).Only disappointment outside was the souvenir shop,it didn't have a very wide range of goods for sale. Given rating of 5 stars as you can't beat that lovely feeling of walking out onto Corries cobbles and taking all the history in !!
J. W.
Was ok but couldn't go in anywhere don't think it's worth the money
s. f.
Didn't think it was going to be much good but how wrong could I be
It was well worth the money and I'd go again anytime.
S. W.
Brilliant day, and staff were really helpful (thanks Josh)
