      Stephan is an absolute gem! This 4 1/2 hour tour was one of the highlights of our two week holiday. With an ample abundance of ale and massive dose of history…this is a fantastic walking tour of Newcastle. Stephan is extremely knowledgeable about European history and has selected a fantastic group of 5 uniquely different pubs. Starting from the beautiful Centurion at the Newcastle Central Station and finished at the elegant City Tavern. Each location has a story…and great beer, ale, cider and cocktail selections. So interesting to learn of Stephan’s family history and books that he has authored. Stephan did a great YouTube video discussing historic battle with “The Red Barron”…his great great great Grandfather won the battle. His tours will book extremely quickly…he told us he had several others from our cruise that were willing to pay him to switch. If his tour is available on the date you are in Newcastle…book it immediately!!!

      Hello Peter! I hope you're all keeping well. Thanks so much for your fabulous review. I'm so glad that you had fun, it was such an amazing day. It's great to hear you loved you day in Newcastle (the Toon) and enjoyed the pubs so much and all the history too. I really appreciate your booking and your review. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!

      The best pub tour!

      Stephen was the best pub and Newcastle guide we could have asked for! We thought he was going to just show us some cool pubs, new and old. However, Stephen went so much deeper! We learned about Newcastle’s history, culture, each pub’s history, and local sports culture. That doesn’t even scratch the surface to our experience thanks to him. On the logistical side, he had simple instructions on where to meet. He also warned of the hilly nature of the city so that we were prepared for the short hikes between pubs. All in all, we had a phenomenal tour that was quite memorable. We will definitely be contacting Stephen on our return to England in the future! Geordies are so friendly and knowledgeable (unlike a Mackem jk!).

      Hello! I hope you're all all keeping well. Thanks so much for the wonderful review. It was so nice to show you our amazing city and the very best pubs too. I thoroughly enjoyed it too and often think of our fun day. Hope to see you again one day! PS thanks for my first review here as not everyone leaves one after they get back from their cruise.
