    Wes was welcoming and punctual. The tour was very informative, but with lovely tones of humour! With a casual walk around town, some wonderfully interesting stories about the history of the city, I would never have otherwise, well worth the time! Thanks Wes

    We really enjoyed this tour with Wes recently, the tour was both educational and informative, Wes is very passionate about his home town Newcastle, we learnt about the Romans, the Scots, and the Vikings, he pointed us in the right direction for Shops & Restaurants (Vegan), we also enjoyed his great sense of humour! Keep up the great work Wes!
