Fantastic! - My partner and I really enjoyed being tourists in our own city. Josh, our guide, was incredibly punny which I LOVE so, thank you Josh! He was very knowledgeable and super enthusiastic. We did the tour on Friday and by writing this 2 days later I can confidently say I have told everyone I know about this tour and how good it is. Being local I did know some of the stories but it was so great hearing someone else talk about them! Time absolutely flew over and I was smiling the whole time. What I will say about the tour is that, wear comfortable shoes and if your knees aren't great take your time going down on the stairs towards the end - there's a LOT of them.

Great walk great information - Very good. Josh was funny and very knowledgeable. As a person of impaired hearing he was very mindful of that. Time flew in and went over which we or Josh didn’t mind. Thanks Josh.

Fantastic tour! - I had such a fantastic True Crime tour with Fran. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun and really brought the stories to life. The tour gave me a really good sense of what shaped the city and I loved seeing the hidden corners that I would never have found myself. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable - Very enjoyable and interesting. It gave us an interesting slant on the I'll goings on in Newcastle. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and informative. I do think that in busy areas a small microphone may of helped as bits of stories sometimes missed due to passers by or traffic.

True crime of Newcastle! Soooo interesting! - We had an amazing guide, Anna. So knowledgeable and really nice throughout the tour. Adapted the route for my crutches no problem. It was so interesting to hear the stories of true crimes in Newcastle and Anna gave us tips of how to find more information. (I'm gonna read that book). Now need to cross reference my family tree to see if I'm related to a serial killer. Thank you Anna we had an amazing time!
