t enjoyable walking tour possible. We feel strongly that the Quays area deserves to be celebrated and it’s story told. We love nothing more than to share its beauty and history. Salford Quays is one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the UK yet few realise the historical and cultural significance of the area - let alone the fact that it's part of the greenest city in the UK! Our walking tours are designed to give you an insight into what makes the Quays so special. Our tours are renowned for being a fact-filled fun fest for all the family!
