Must do experience - Martin was fantastic! We saw parts of the city I would have otherwise missed or stopped at areas I would have just walked past without knowing the history. He explained everything really well, took the time to answer our questions and kept our spirits up despite the rain.

Great tour!! - Martin was excellent! Even though it rained the entire 3 hours, he gave us a great tour covering centuries of Newcastle history- beginning with the Romans and ending in the present day. And at the end of the tour he helped direct us back to our hotel. Absolutely recommend to anyone only in town for a little while

Excellent tour guide& itinerary late start due to late participant arrivals! - Martin Strait was an excellent guide. Clear, thorough, very professional. We enjoyed the tour and convenient itinerary very much. My only complaint was we had to wait 20 minutes outdoors in very cold weather for 2 other participants to meet up: they were native speakers even staying in nearby lodging, oddly incapable of using a map to find the meeting point which was announced to all days in advance. Preparedness beats apologies. Our guide contacted them by mobile a few times to assist. İ think instead our guide should have just phoned them once then moved on while they learned to use an interactive map and catch up with us. Perhaps also a note upon booking that the tour departs with no more than 5 minutes' grace period would help avoid this situation.

A Wealth of Information! - 3 hours of Newcastle history spanning 2000+ years! We learned about castles, walls, towers, architecture, churches, the cathedral, marketplaces, squares, statues, the River Tyne, 7 bridges, theaters, concert halls, city government, the Romans, the library, all while looping around the city on a sunny afternoon. We parted ways at the Millennium Bridge learning sooo much! Thank you Martin, well done!
