So you believe you know Newcastle, then book this tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Booked a three hour trip with Rob who took me and two others through some of the many places of interest the history and those associated people born who contributed to the city of Newcastle. Extremely knowledgeable and pointed out some even the locals would miss. Would recommend without any hesitation to have Rob do another as very courteous. I have no hesitation to recommend this to others visitors to the city.

Don't miss this tour!

Myself and my three teenagers took this tour of Newcastle and highly recommend it. Rob is so knowledgeable on English and Newcastle history and the tour is so interesting. Not to be missed, a highlight of our stay!

Well worth it..

Our tour guide Rob was very knowledgable & personable - thanks. It was an informal tour but well worth it.

Fun, funny, and insightful

Published on Nov, 2024

Rob was vert kind and intelligent. He asked about the background of each person and was able to ask questions related to each person’s background, to enrich his story or just out of sincere interest. I’m glad I did this tour on day 1 of my visit to Newcastle, because I was able to enjoy Newcastle better on day 2 thanks to Rob.

An excellent walking tour

This was an excellent walking tour of Newcastle upon Tyne. We covered many sites and Martin was knowledgeable and entertaining.
