    My boyfriend and I booked this tour the day after we arrived in Newcastle for the first time. Rob was incredibly informative, cheerful, and clearly passionate about the history of this beautiful city. It was a great first activity for newcomers to Newcastle, and Rob was able to provide us with many recommendations on how to spend our week here. I feel like my knowledge and appreciation for the city increased ten-fold! Highly recommend!

    Absolutely fantastic experience having brought my fiancée who fell in love with Newcastle’s charm, I decided we should have a tour of the area. I know the area like the back of my hand and had a good working knowledge of the city and its history… however! I learned so much from this tour my partner and I both did! Rich information, laughs along the way, fun places to see after the tour, it was amazing! We would highly recommend this even if you’re a local! We are 100% coming back for more tours!
