Fun and spooky tour with a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a fun and immersive tour. A highlight of our weekend getaway! Our host was fantastic and kept us engaged the entire journey. There were no holds barred when talking about the dark secrets behind Newcastle and it was refreshing to hear a blunt telling of what transpired. My only very small criticism is that you will be walking up a large hill and a few smaller inclines so be aware in case you're asthmatic or unfit (like me) but this is a very small criticism

Exceptional

An amazing and informative experience. Julia (our guide) had so much knowledge, she presented it dramatically, sympathetically and with humour when the occasion arose. Highly recommend this tour

This was a very interesting tour. Julia was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and was also able to add some humour into individual 'incidents' that the tour was centred around. Highly recommended

Fun, informative and fairly priced

Published on Jan, 2025

We went on a Newcastle based tour and we loved it. Fairly priced for a two hour activity. Our guide Jish was very informative about the history of Newcastle, group size was suitable (about 10) and the price was very fair for the tour. I reccomend this tour if youre in the Newcastle area and are looking for something to do.
