    I really enjoyed the walking tour and I would highly recommend it to people looking to learn about Newcastle’s history and see different parts of the city. It’s a fun way of spending a couple of hours and the guide Olivia was superb in sharing her knowledge and providing lots of facts and anecdotes. She made the tour a great experience!
