5.00We learned so much about women of Newcastle who fought for suffrage. Helen was so passionate about the stories she shared and clearly enjoyed sharing that passion.
Amazing!!

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed our Votes for Women guided walk with Helen in Newcastle! She's an amazing orator and really brought to life the often horrific struggles of the women who fought for suffrage during the early twentieth century. Very reasonably priced and I'm very tempted to do Helen's gruesome tour in Hexham!

5.00A very informative and enjoyable tour around Newcastle City Centre learning all about Women's suffrage and the heroines of the campaign connected to Newcastle. Helen, our guide was very well researched, knowledgeable and presented the tour exceptionally well. We booked this tour as a women's group and highly recommend it to others without hesitation.

5.00Helen was a wonderful guide. She is extremely knowledgeable, and tells the story of the courageous suffragettes in such a way that you could imagine how they would have been feeling. I would highly recommend this tour. It's brilliant way to learn more about the powerful women who perservered until they achieved the vote.
Celebrating Emmeline Pankhurst Day in a very appropriate way ☺️

5.00Helen arranged a bespoke "Deeds not Words" walking tour for our Girl Guide unit - she tailored it for the girls, and it was really interesting and engaging. We all learnt lots of new facts about our city and the women who fought for the vote. Some graphic tales, but the girls coped well! It led to some interesting discussions...
Fabulous Tour

5.00Really enjoyed this tour. I had some knowledge of the suffragette movement but this really helped to give a more detailed insight into the stories, events and experiences of the women whilst they fought for the women's vote. Helen really brought it to life. It was very informative. We walked around the streets of Newcastle and I learned and saw things I didn't know about. Lots of lovely stop off points and an easy walk around the city. Fabulous.

5.00Really interesting & thought provoking walking tour about the suffragettes in Newcastle. Helen is a great guide, she presents the story very well & had an engaging manner. There are lots of opportunities to ask questions & discuss the important issues behind this brutal & unjust period of history.
