A great way to spend an afternoon in Newcastle. You get to see some of the nicest parts of the city, including Grey Street, the city walls and the quayside, and you learn a bit of the history and a few local stories along the way
More to see than you’d think!

A great experience & great fun. Gave us a chance to see our city from a different point of view. The app was great & the hints were helpful. We took our time & visit many (too many) bars but great fun. Saw things in Newcastle that we’d never notice me or seen before. Would definitely recommend!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Newcastle! We would never have come across a lot of the sites we visited without having had done this tour. We were a group of friends who took delight in trying to figure out the cryptic clues as well as gaining interesting historical facts along the way. The game itself is easy to access and there is no time limit to complete so plenty of time to stop off along the way for drinks , food, and rest. We walked for quite a few hours but it didn't feel like it as we were enjoying seeing new things. Afterwards we got our score and it left us wanting to seek out similar tours in different cities. Don't hesitate to do this tour if you want a fun , unique and educational walking trip around Newcastle!

Great little idea that helps you get to know a city! This made what was a big walk interesting for the children, working out the clues and following the maps etc but at the same time showed us the main sites and taught us some interesting facts.
Great fun

Wonderful way to learn about a place if you like walking and have a poor attention span in museums. Really enjoyed all of the little facts and nuggets of history.
