Our second brilliant visit to the cobbles. Booked the star tours and met 'Todd' today and 'Yasmeen' last year. The whole experience is very organised and professional. You get a tour guide to show you around and they're lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable, we had Helen last year and Andrea today. You can wander around the sets, taking as many photos as you like without feeling rushed. Inside there is a museum type exhibition with loads of info and props and a replica set of Roy's cafe and the Rovers for more photo opportunities. If you book the star tour you meet them in a room where they'll have a quick chat and everyone can have their photo taken and get autographs. A must for any avid Corrie fan.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for Coronation Street fans of any age — guides are consistently described as knowledgeable, funny, and energetic enough to engage even non-viewers. Star Tours are worth booking for dedicated fans who want a cast encounter. Group sizes of around 50 can slow photo opportunities, so factor in a relaxed pace rather than rushing between spots.

Only got into Coronation Street last year and treated my wife to a star tour on 21st February as her valentines gift. Amazing set with many hidden tributes and plenty of interesting facts. Our star was Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley. Nice person. Only negatives we felt was that there was too many people in the group (about 50) so we had to wait for them to finish their photos before moving onto the next part. Which by the sounds of it from the tour guide Evie, and whoever was contacting her via radio, our group was running late to meet the star. But overall, it's great for anyone, even if you don't watch Coronation Street or a diehard fan like my wife.

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.

We had a brilliant experience on the Coronation Street Experience tour! If you're a Corrie fan, this is an absolute must-do. Our tour guide, Sarah, was the absolute star of the show—she was so friendly, incredibly funny, and her energy really made the whole tour for us. It was great to see the sets, but her stories and personality made it unforgettable. Highly recommend!
