A Social History of Central Newcastle

Published on May, 2025

Rob is a knowledgeable, friendly guide who is attentive to the needs of his tour group. He brought the history of Newcastle alive across the millennia in an informative and entertaining manner. Highly recommended.

Good Overview Tour

Published on May, 2025

Tour guide is fun and informative, which makes for a good overview tour of the city of Newcastle. We both enjoyed it very much and would recommend.

Great guide!

Published on May, 2025

Daniel was a repository of information and very knowledgeable that provided an excellent overview of the high points of Newcastle. I had no idea there was such a wealth of history within this delightful town. Daniel is an incredible guide!

Best tour by far

Published on Apr, 2025

Tob was absolutely bar far the best guide we have ever had, his presentation was full of humour and masses of information. Just which we could have digested more. We would emphatically advise any visitor to go on this trip as even if you are a first time visitor like us or a past one, you will pick up so much knowledge from Rob so you can fully appreciate what a wonderful city Newcastle is.

Highly recommended

Published on Apr, 2025

Rob was incredibly knowledgeable and informative and really brought the city to life for us. He showed us some hidden parts as well as the well known and was great company as well.
