Anna was so engaging, fun, knowledgeable & brought the crime history to life. There’s also a nice chunk of history & architecture thrown in - very much welcomed as we’d have loved to done a city walking tour as well, but couldn’t fit it in - next time! Thoroughly recommended.

Josh led us on a fabulous tour of busy parts of the city centre and quiet courtyards that we would not have found on our own. He spun tales of historic crimes, great and small and gave us lots of detail of life in Newcastle over the centuries. His account was funny and interesting in equal measure, as he led us through the varied parts of the town with his stories.

An excellent true crime tour of Newcastle upon Tyne. Fran and Josh were our guides for the evening. There was 5 lovely Irish ladies from Dublin, my wife and I, so it was a pleasant small group. Fran was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and projected her voice well and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. It was a little bit of a family reunion as Josh is my wife's nephew and she had not seen him in for 10 + years. I would highly recommend this tour, not just to tourists, but locals as well.

The lady who guided us around was very knowledgeable of all the crimes that had taken part. I went to parts of Newcastle I had never been or saw things I would normally miss. The guide was really enthusiastic and really good at telling the stories, making it come alive. Great evening, would really recommend.
