Great day tour - Amanda was a great- friendly and helpful - lots of interesting information both about Vera and filming, as well as local area. It was a fabulous day. I would have liked more details about the tour from Viator before the day but can’t fault the experience I had at all. Bus driver ( whose name I forgot - sorry) was also brilliant. Thank you

Fantastic full day Vera tour! - We booked a full day private Vera tour and it exceeded all of our expectations! Our tour guide, Fran, was wonderful! She navigated very flooded countryside roads while providing both the history of the sites and lots of “behind the scenes” information about the filming of Vera locations in Northumberland. She is personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic! Having video clips of Vera episodes on a laptop that were filmed at the places we visited really added to the experience! It was a great day!

A fantastic day for Vera fans - I did the half day tour last year which my children bought me as a Christmas gift the previou year. I thoroughly enjoyed that day so last Christmas they purchased the full day. What an amazing day! Fran is an excellent guide, knowledgeable about Vera and the locations. Plenty of references to scenes in the series gorgeous scenery, renewed my acquaintance with Lindisfarne. Stopped off in Seahouses for fish and chips. If you love Vera this really is the tour for you, even saw Vera's land-rover driving off Lindisfarne as we were going towards it.I'll be booking for next year.

Fran the font of Knowledge - Fran our hostess knew everything about Vera and the Northumberland distic. Great facts The tour was interesting I enjoyed seeing the locations on the TV series. Disappointed we didn't go to the Angel of the north. I would have gone on my own if I had known we weren't going there. I had to catch a plane to Australia next day. Otherwise great day.

Wonderful Adventure - The tour was very informative. Seeing the wonderful Northeast was everything I expected it to be. Fran was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved the whole adventure but the time spent on Holy Island was magical.

Beauty of Northumberland! - Loved it! Fran, tour tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much detail and fun facts! Our driver was terrific as well. Only wish we had more time on Lindisfarne/Holy Island to soak in the atmosphere. What a unique place. As a huge Vera fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Northumberland is gorgeous, even if it rained most of the day Lol! I was born in Wallsend so the rain was no surprise LOL! I highly recommend this tour!!

Excellent tour, only let down by the coach. - Excellent tour, a must for Vera fans. Plenty of information and facts. Fantastic scenery. Only let down by the coach. It was very hot! Asked the driver to make it cooler and put on the fan for about 30 seconds before turning it off before driving off. Also we had to sit at the back and every time the guide said look to your left all we saw was the toilet! Perhaps change the coach?

Tour of Northemberland - Lovely scenery. Good driver. Not much to do with Vera though - just odd clips shown on tv screen. Do not get close to Vera’s house. Nothing else associated with tv programme shown.
