About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Blaine S0 contributionsInteresting and informativeHad a very interesting and informative tour with Fran. Initially the tour was delayed due to the terrible weather conditions but Fran’s great communication made everyone aware of this delay. I had another event on at 1:30pm which Fran was kind enough to slightly alter the route the opposite way around to ensure I still made it on time. The tour was very interesting with a lot of cool stories about local residents and famous Geordies over the years. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting for the day! Thanks Fran :)Written 24 November 2024
- DurhamDave0 contributionsA wonderful concert.We enjoyed a wonderful concert featuring the Buxtenhude Youth Symphony Orchestra from Hamburg. They are a very talented orchestra and the venue at St Godric’s Church , Durham was perfect. High recommendedWritten 14 October 2024
- LinL20060 contributionsDurham: Myths and LegendsMy husband and I did the tour of Durham: Myths and Legends. Despite horrendous rainy weather we both loved the tour. Our guide Fran, was knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming.Written 1 October 2024
- Laura W0 contributionsFantastic!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.Written 22 September 2024
- Brandy's P0 contributionsGreat walk great informationVery 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.Written 14 September 2024
- SianT810 contributionsFantastic 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!Written 7 September 2024
- 894nicg0 contributionsEnjoyableVery 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.Written 7 September 2024
- mdT7096AY0 contributionsExtremely insightfulBilly josh delivered a spectacular evening, we loved every second. We learned things we never knew and have a fun, interesting and amusing time.Written 18 August 2024
- johncR2991UG0 contributionsHighly recommendedWe were a family of 3 with one having limited mobility. We went on a private tour to Bamburgh Castle and Linisfarne in a taxi. Everything was very well organised and every allowance made for one of our party having difficulty walking far. Both driver and guide, Katy Maddison, were very helpful and made for a very enjoyable day.Written 29 July 2024
- Cruiser267648905800 contributionsTrue 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!Written 21 July 2024
- mjfaulkner0 contributionsAmazing Tour!Terrific tour. Went to 4 classic Newcastle pubs- each unique and interesting. Visiting Strawberry Pub was definitely a highlight given its connection to the football team. Katy was an amazing guide who was not only friendly and engaging, but extremely knowledgeable about historical/cultural aspects of Newcastle. Definitely more than just a pub crawl- highly recommended!Written 16 July 2024
- kgintennessee0 contributionsAlnwick Castle TourAn absolutely delightful journey to Alnwick Castle. Our cruise ship docked at Newcastle and our tour guide was there waiting on as we left the ship. Anna was incredibly knowledgeable. She brought so much local knowledge to our tour. Highly recommend Anna! Newcastle Tour Company was excellent to book with and were prompt with their communication with me. Great experience!Written 28 June 2024
- Brontir0 contributionsWell worth doingIt was a great way to learn a bit about the history and culture of Newcastle, whilst having a more than amble lunch. Anna was a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide.Written 23 June 2024
- scottkS2500TS0 contributionsGreat custom tour. Expertise and hustle.I always look to a local travel agency to book tours rather than US tour travel companies that rarely have a clue...and want to cram you into pre-packaged group arrangements. Shout out to Anna who listened to what I wanted and pulled it all together! Travelled up from London on the train and was met at the station for a great 4 hour personal tour of Hadrian's wall with Michael Young where we talked Roman history and had a good natured argument about American and British politics. On the train ride I discoved I forgot my driver's license so that car rental plan went out the window. She scrambled and found me a driver to get me to Bamburgh castle, and then the following day to the Holy Island. She met me there for an entertaining 3 hour walking tour. Turns out it was June 6th the very day the Vikings raided the monostery 1231 years ago. I can't say she arranaged that, but I giving her credit anyway 5+ stars Scott KWritten 15 June 2024
- DayTrip373189147330 contributionsCustom tour for 12 from Newcastle on TyneThe custom tour for 12 from the cruise port in Newcastle to Lindisfarne and along the coast was fantastic. Anna, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was one of the best guides I have ever experienced in my many years of travel. The van was first class and the driver, Andrew, was excellent. Communication when booking was excellent. I highly recommend this tour company based on my experience with themWritten 30 May 2024

We paid £8 per person for a guide to take us around Chester it started at the town hall and we visited the Rows the Eastgate clock the ruined pillars built on the bedrock, the vaulted cellar now in one of the local hostleries was awesome
We also did the walls. Plus a couple of other points. The guide was lovely and very knowledgeable, well worth it. 90 mins but we did over run!
