Susan_F, Apr 2025
Great tour, but some very steep steps going down at the end and then you have to go back up to get back into the town. Susan was very knowledgeable and lovely. Her knowledge of the history of Newcastle was amazing. Well worth doing if you can manage the steps.

Frances was a knowledgeable guide and the route took us around lots of the key sights of Newcastle. Frances was lovely and warm and made us feel welcome. Thank you for being so lovely to our children too. Thank you.

This tour provided varied information about Newcastle and included a range of locations around the centre of the city. Our guide was local and engaging. She managed to include a lot in 90 minutes. Would recommend this tour.
Peter_R, Feb 2025
Despite poor weather, this was a really interesting tour around the city centre. There were only 3 of us in the group but that made for a more intimate experience and I learned a lot as we went around.
There's plenty of history and we also took in the beautiful market and arcade before finishing at the Tyne Bridge. The tour lasted around an hour and 45 mins and I'd highly recommend it

Amanda did a great job explaining the history and significance of the buildings in Newcastle. What a delight
Roberta_A, Sep 2024
Great tour with Amanda, we discovered Newcastle and all the stories and legends.
Just one thing: the coordinates of the meeting point on Viator are wrong.

Amanda had some great insights into the city and made the walk entertaining. We especially loved the potted histories of all the bridges over the Tyne.
Ashley_A, May 2022
I highly recommend this tour, never knew Newcastle was that beautiful until I took the tour. This historic events, sculptures, buildings and bridges were worth seeing.
Had a well informed tour guide and the tour group were really cool and amazing.

Ausführliche Stadtbesichtigung und sehr nette Führerin (Susan).
Hat nur etwas länger gedauert als erwartet.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi Klaus,
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und netten Worte - ich werde diese an Susan weiterleiten.
An der Länge der Tour werden wir arbeiten (evtl. auch einfach auf 2 Stunden erhöhen - die Stadt ist ja nunmal doch besser als viele Menschen denken ;)).
Alles Gute und vielen Dank nochmals,
Alex
