A nice tour - It was a nice tour of Newcastle and the stories surrounding it. We enjoyed our guide's storytelling. Yet, I think I was expecting a bit more twisted or darker stories but am aware that they had be be about what happened in Newcastle and appeal to a general audience.

An interesting insight into Newcastle's Social History - Connor was very prompt at the meeting point & timed the tour to perfection. He entertained us with some interesting stories that gave us an idea of Newcastle's social history. We saw places in the city that we hadn't discovered as yet. We enjoyed the hour & a half & appreciated Connor's friendly & respectful manner. The tour was a good addition to our city break.

Great experience - Really enjoyed the experience. Guide was interesting and engaging. The journey was fun and easy for all abilities. Didn't believe her about the tiny tree balls so was impressed she was very accurate. Such a slippery slope with them but she looked out for all. Time flew!

Fun and interesting - Lovely walk with a bit of fun - the architecture and history of the buildings was as interesting as the stories. Out host was entertaining and knowledgeable and it was something different, not expensive and a bit of fun.

Fun and spooky tour with a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide - 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

Great tour highly recommended - 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
