Excellent Tour Company

5.00Keira and Nathan were so friendly, informative and professional from the first enquiry. It was so nice to deal directly with them via email and phone calls and it is a very well run small tour company.. They even thoughtfully arranged for a buggy for our elderly parents at Fort Scratchley. They also kept our parents company on the bus and had great chats with them when our parents had a rest while the group explored. They were flexible in the itinerary and timing on the day for our family group of 16 with ages from 9 to 86. We learnt a lot about Newcastle and they answered all our questions! They can also arrange bespoke tours. Highly recommend Newy Tour Co and we wish them every success for the future.
More than just the sights, a history trip of Newcastle.

5.00A great tour with an exceptional driver/guide, Keira. Her local knowledge made it an educational trip. I have been to Newcastle numerous times and been past many of the spots without knowing their significance . If in Newcastle book a tour. You won’t be disappointed.

5.00This was an excellent and great value trip. Keira our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. We were in a group of seven and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this trip. It was good to get the trip in early on our city break so you could choose which places you would like to revisit in your own time.
An amazing trip. Host was...

5.00We were in Newcastle on a cruise ship day visit and we pre-booked this 3 hour tour online beforehand. The tour was very comprehensive and Nathan our tour guide (and owner of the business with his wife Keira) was excellent. Such a lovely guy, very patient and very knowledgeable. He’s a 6th generation Novacastrian and has lots of good stories and facts. We saw many of the major sites in and around Newcastle. What a lovely city it is. NewyTours have two lovely modern air conditioned vans that we toured in. I’d highly recommend this tour company.
Highly recommended tour
