Positives:

  • Social atmosphere: Small tour groups make it easy to chat with fellow fans
  • Flexible pacing: Exhibition-only tickets let you explore at your own speed

Challenges:

  • Uneven cobbles: Wear flat, comfortable shoes; the street surface can feel slippery
  • Limited storage: No lockers on site; carry minimal belongings
  • Toilets only in Visitor Centre: Plan breaks before or after the street tour as no toilets are on the set

What a day out this is! I went with my mum and sister and we had the best time from start to finish. I loved the video you watch at the start, if only there was a way to watch it again! Then we had the lovely Callum who took us around, really funny guy with lots of knowledge. Even a bit of a rain didn’t dampen our spirits and we thoroughly enjoyed going round the streets and in the exhibition. We ...

The tour guide really made this experience amazing! Callum was funny, knowledgeable and full of energy. You would never know that he does this tour numerous times a day. He has the ability to make everything fun and entertaining. The icing on cake was meeting Alan Halsall! He too was engaged and made us feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this experience to any Corrie fan.

As a viewer from the beginning, I thought that the tour would be perfect for her. I had a couple of questions to ask before booking and the Customer Service team were most helpful and responded more quickly than expected. On...
