Interesting AND Informative! - Anna provided us with a thorough and interesting tour of Newcastle! She personalized the tour to include information about Hadrian's Wall, as we were starting our Wall Walk the next day. She gave us just the right amount of background on the history, architecture, key citizens and landmarks of Newcastle. She was able to answer several questions we had.
