Green Goddess Newcastle Walking Tour - Susan was great - a friendly, knowledgeable guide who made it fun for all whilst at the same time being informative and involving all the members of the group. Weather was hot and sunny and not only was she mindful of asking the tour to stand in the shade where possible but also mindful of the public too and made sure we were never in anyone’s way.

Fun, well paced tour of vibrant Newcastle - Our guide today was wonderful, informative and good fun. The tour was interesting and well paced, and tailored throughout to her audience including plenty of music references for those of us here to see Sam Fender this evening. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to the vibrancy of Newcastle!

Great Walking Tour - A really interesting walking tour covering at a high level some of the best bits of Newcastle. Starting outside the station and finishing by the Quayside was a great way to hear and see some of the history. Highly recommend

Great tour. Encompasses so much history. Well worth doing. - 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.
