I had a great tour with Martin trough Newcastle. Lucky to be in a small group of only 3 people, plus Martin as a guide. His knowledge of the city, the historical facts was excellent; a tsunami of information. Whatever you want to know about Newcastle, it will definitely in there. Very nice walk, with a likewise nice person. Thank you Martin.

This was a great tour of Newcastle. I was staggered at the amount of history, science, social history and life in Newcastle that Martin managed to share with us in our three hours. obviously, you walk a fairway in three hours, but Martin paced it well and held our interest with an appropriate coffee stop and checking our needs as we progressed around the city. I would recommend it to you.
