It's been over 30 years since I visited the old set of Coronation Street, and was looking forward to seeing the new set-up in MediaCityUK while I was visiting friends in Manchester just after Christmas. I was not disappointed, and enjoyed my time there. The Coronation Street Experience is easy to book online, easy to get to by public transport, and very well organised. The set itself is very impressive - much bigger than the old one - with new additions such as the precinct, police station and hospital. While the tour does not include interior sets, the exhibition at the end has a replica of Roy's Rolls cafe and the Rovers' bar- ideal for photos. Jack was a great tour guide. Clearly sacrificing a promising career as a stand-up comedian - he told some cracking gags - he entertained us all with some behind-the-scenes stories and secrets, while he showed the group around the different elements of the outside set. He was also more than happy to answer questions about the show, and take photos of members of the tour group on their own phones - which I was particularly grateful for as I was there on my own. (There was also a professional photographer on hand for those that wanted an official souvenir of their visit.) All in all, a great way to spend a couple of hours - particularly for those, like me, who are big fans of Coronation Street.

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 bought some of the pictures which are a good momento however not the best quality considering they are professional pictures but they will take photos on your phone for you aswell so that is a nice bonus.

What a fantastic day!!!! My Mom is 90 and has cancer, so I've been trying to get her out and about to make memories and to make sure she's still got plenty to look forward to. 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 the day we were greeted by such a friendly team. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Our Tour Guide was Liz, who again was friendly and knowledgeable. I had booked a "Meet a Star" package, and whilst I think Mom was banking on us getting "Dev" and luring him in to being my Stepfather, we got "Bethany" instead. Lucy was so down to earth and she was absolutely lovely to my Mom. I was so very impressed with the whole experience and I'd like to thank all of the team for helping to make some very special memories. X

If you love corrie you should do the tour. We saw all the places from the show (exterior) and we were allowed inside some like the police station and prima donner. Also there is an exhibition with copy sets of the rovers and rots rolls. The tour guide was a fan and she was very good. There are lots if fun cheap souvenirs to buy that you can't get anywhere else. Also before the tour they show a 10 minute clip montage that got me quite emotional!
