Our family tour of Manchester City's stadium was an incredible experience. The guides were fantastic, making sure our grandson had the time of his life. They went above and beyond for the children, keeping them engaged throughout. The behind-the-scenes access was amazing, and seeing our grandson's face light up was priceless.
