Amanda was an excellent guide on this well paced walk from Greys Monument to the quayside. She was friendly and gave us lots of information about the history of the area.

The Halloween Special: Newcastle's Dark Side walking tour was great. We were met by the official guide Amanda, who was very friendly and really knowledgeable about the ghoulish side of Newcastle's dark history and murders and brought the whole experience to life. Our group were thoroughly engaged throughout the 90 minutes of the tour, which took us from Newcastle City Centre down to the Quayside. Would really recommend the walk to anyone. Until the next time....
