    Very good and knowledge guide- Thomas- who made it a great tour. I knew almost nothing about the history of this area beforehand and Thomas explained the history very clearly. I had read about Matilda and the White Ship, the tour put that piece of history into context- as well as everything else which was covered.

    First class walking tour with an excellent guide, George. Despite us both being Newcastle residents, we learnt something about the city and its medieval history at every stop along the way. My only tiny comment is that we spent a very long time at the start, setting the scene and I would reduce this “intro” to a few minutes at most. A lot of people think that Newcastle’s ancient history starts and finishes with the Romans. This superb tour proved that belief could not be further from the truth!

    Our guide was very informative and kept the tour fun. He was dressed in costume that was relevant to the time period.
