5.00A great tour to really understand the true nature of Newcastle. Michael was a proper Geordie that made the tour extremely enjoyable!
Hilarious, mind-blowing and informative

5.00Mike could not have judged things more perfectly. His knowledge was thorough and his delivery both humorous and lively. As a typical cynical Londoner was sceptical when he announced Newcastle as of central importance to the UKs standing today and historically. However he went on to completely justify this claim over the next 3 hours which flew by in telling me about the production of coal; the steam locomotive; the turbine engine; the incandescent lightbulb ( no it wasn’t Edison as he merely patented Swann invention); the first breech loaded gun by Armstrong which was then flogged to both sides in the US civil war. I personally love it to have my preconceived views completely overturned. I just wish I’d been able to persuade my son to join me whilst visiting him but then he s up here as a student with other priorities but at least I have been able to explain to him why his internationally acclaimed engineering degree is based in Newcastle and hopefully he ll join me on the next tour with Mike. He does a ghostie tour as well which I’m eager for on my next northerly visit.
Bryony was a very kind...

3.00Bryony was a very kind tour guide and showed us by food the places to be in Newcastle. She always asked about our preferences and gave us the time we needed at the places we visited, which was positiv. But during the walk when asked for more facts about the history (not very specifc or deep) or the surrounding and these questions she had to pass the answer. For us, this didn´t bordered us (sometimes we googled ourselves) to much, but that´s the reason why we wouldn´t recommend the tour to others who are more interested in history.

1.00Worst tour guide I have ever encountered. He did not know the city, constantly looked at his phone, told us to read the plaques rather than telling us about the area, and he smelled terrible.
