A highly engaging and fascinating tour, even for non-History buffs! - Absolutely amazing! I bought a ticket for my sister for her birthday. She later told me she thought it would be boring, but she really loved it, as did I. We had a great night! It was highly engaging and so fascinating, right from the get-go. Violet was an excellent tour guide - we would highly recommend her! She brought the tour to life with puns and her enthusiasm. A must-see tour!

A great experience - The tour was a great way to see and hear some history of Newcastle city and put some 'flesh and bones' to the characters. So much more interesting than reading info boards at various sites.

Great intro to Newcastle ( not for kids ) - Great guide Julia. Perfect if you haven't been to Newcastle before and wanted to learn a bit about its history, while also seeing the historical architecture. Wouldn't recommend for children, most stories include SA and violence ect.
