Rugby is our first passion and love here at Irish Rugby Tours. However a visit to Manchester has to include a visit to the original ‘Theatre of Dreams’ – Old Trafford, home of Manchester United Football Club.

From the original Busby Babes with Bobby Charlton to the Class of 96 with David Beckham up to today’s hero’s like Paul Pogba.

Learn all about this great club and see behind the scenes of this iconic stadium. Visit the dug out area, walk around the Stretford End and in addition visit the VIP area.

Finally at the end you have the chance to visit the club shop to buy all your merchandise.

Did you know it was in Manchester where Mr Rolls first met Mr Royce and thus one of the most luxurious car brands was born?

Are you familiar with the canal that is over 36 miles long and connects Manchester to the Irish Sea?

Learn more about these facts and more with your personal guided walking tour of Manchester.

Make sure you wear a comfortable pair of shoes as this will last for nearly 3 hours.
