Wonderful Private Tour of Newcastle - We had an amazing private tour of Newcastle with our guide, Michael! He communicated with me ahead of time to understand what we wanted to see, and he was so thoughtful in ensuring our teen son was engaged throughout the tour. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and shared his passion for the city with us. I would highly recommend this tour!

Newcastle what an insight! Great City/tour - We had a 3hr walking tour with Michael, who had communicated in advance and met us on time at our hotel. We were interested in the industrial and social history of Newcastle. We started at the quayside and ended up in Grey Street, with the 3 hrs being filled with facts, stories and sights. We learnt so much and enjoyed the whole tour - covering from the Romans to Garibaldi to Grainger - just fab! Thank you Michael 👏🏻

Private city tour/private Stadtführung - The tour was very, very good. Allan our guide was absolutely great and was able to answer all our questions and we got exciting insights into Newcastle. He also showed us hidden places along the way. We can only recommend the tour and Allan.

A 3 hour tour ... - Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable and very well prepared. He presented drawings and maps to help emphasize the wonderful history of all the stops we made during our walk. His local experience, having lived in the Newcastle area of England, was very colorful and passionate.

Short but effective way to see the city! - This walking tour was a great way to see Newcastle in a very short amount of time. We toured the castles, shopping areas and churches which were important through the history of the city.

Bryony was a very kind... - Bryony was a very kind tour guide and showed us by food the places to be in Newcastle. She always asked about our preferences and gave us the time we needed at the places we visited, which was positiv. But during the walk when asked for more facts about the history (not very specifc or deep) or the surrounding and these questions she had to pass the answer. For us, this didn´t bordered us (sometimes we googled ourselves) to much, but that´s the reason why we wouldn´t recommend the tour to others who are more interested in history.

zero stars, do not recommend - Worst tour guide I have ever encountered. He did not know the city, constantly looked at his phone, told us to read the plaques rather than telling us about the area, and he smelled terrible.
