Martin guided myself and another lady round Newcastle this afternoon. He’s got a lovely manner, well paced, answered questions and overall very informative. Thanks for sharing Newcastle’s history with us.
A great walk—engaging, enjoyable, and well-led.

3 hours of Newcastle history spanning 2000+ years! We learned about castles, walls, towers, architecture, churches, the cathedral, marketplaces, squares, statues, the River Tyne, 7 bridges, theaters, concert halls, city government, the Romans, the library, all while looping around the city on a sunny afternoon. We parted ways at the Millennium Bridge learning sooo much! Thank you Martin, well done!
Top-notch walk!

Great intro to the city of Newcastle! Martin shares his wealth of knowledge about history, local culture, good pubs (!) and all manner of other things. It really was a fantastic three hours - the only problem being I didn't want it to end!
Fun and knowledgeable

The two of us took part in this tour, but that didn't stop Martin from showing us around the city in detail and telling us about the history of the industrial revolution up to the current, modern situation.
