5.00Rob was a fantastic guide who led us through Newcastle for 2.5 hours. He was always very friendly, eager to share information, and had lots of fascinating things to tell about the city. Rob is also extremely helpful when it comes to offering further tips and recommendations for places to visit in and around Newcastle. You can tell that Rob really appreciates the city of Newcastle! Thanks to Rob’s humour and witty anecdotes, the tour was very entertaining. I would definitely recommend it!
