Fun and spooky tour with a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide - This was a fun and immersive tour. A highlight of our weekend getaway! Our host was fantastic and kept us engaged the entire journey. There were no holds barred when talking about the dark secrets behind Newcastle and it was refreshing to hear a blunt telling of what transpired. My only very small criticism is that you will be walking up a large hill and a few smaller inclines so be aware in case you're asthmatic or unfit (like me) but this is a very small criticism

Exceptional - An amazing and informative experience. Julia (our guide) had so much knowledge, she presented it dramatically, sympathetically and with humour when the occasion arose. Highly recommend this tour

Great tour highly recommended - This was a very interesting tour. Julia was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and was also able to add some humour into individual 'incidents' that the tour was centred around. Highly recommended

Fun, informative and fairly priced - We went on a Newcastle based tour and we loved it. Fairly priced for a two hour activity. Our guide Jish was very informative about the history of Newcastle, group size was suitable (about 10) and the price was very fair for the tour. I reccomend this tour if youre in the Newcastle area and are looking for something to do.

Family Night Out! - My kids chose the activity for our family trip. The love listening to stories and this definitely did not disappoint. We were all engrossed by the way the tour guide told us the stories with actual places to experience and ways to use our imaginations. It was super cool. Will definitely remember to wear our walking shoes for the next one!!

For those who are curious about history and interesting stories - Went on the True Crime Tour last night in Newcastle. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned more about the history and stories behind the modern day city. Our tour guide Nat, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour for visitors and the locals.

Totally worth the visit - Loved it , Julia was awesome. A few hills to climb and a few dodgy stairs to contend with if you’re elderly. Beautiful buildings with so much history.

Fun way to see Newcastle city centre - Great tour and fun way to see the city centre of Newcastle, would highly recommend it. Disappointing though that the tour tickets were advertised as $22 each, however my credit card was charged $69.39 for 2 tickets.
