Horrible History Hero
Rhian_R
, Nov 2021
Alex, tour guide extraordinaire, was incredible- his depth and breadth of Newcastle knowledge was astonishing; I learned so much and feel I already need to do the tour again. Trust me, you will never view Earl Grey tea the same once you know about the man himself.
Alex could not have been kinder and was so communicative about meeting points and fitted around my plans.
The walking is not strenuous and adds to the experience, but if you have mobility issues, let Alex know and he will accommodate you.
Alex is a gem and would make a trip to Newcastle richer as the city holds so much fascinating history.

Best Historical Tour Ever

This is the best tour we have done to date. Alex is very polite, funny and is a rolodex of brilliant historical information about the North East and beyond. We learned loads of fascinating stuff (like that not EVERYTHING is about witches warlocks), and now we can impress people at parties with all of the fun, spooky stuff we learned on our tour! Highly recommend xx

My teacher visited me in Newcastle for a few hours, so I booked this tour not knowing what to expect. He is a traveler and would appreciated a trip filled with interesting information, very organized, and showed the most significant spots of the city.
Furthermore, the scary but intriguing stories made it even more interesting. The tour guide was well-informed, answered all of our questions with details making sure we fully understand.
As a student here for only a few months, I did not realize that what I know about the city is just the tip of the iceberg.
Booking was also very flexible, as I booked just a day earlier and postponed the booking from the 10AM to the 2PM.
Overall, I am very happy and pleased with this journey, and will recommended to my friends who are visiting or even friends that have been here for a while.

Excellent tour really enjoyed the personal experience we shared with our very knowledgeable guide, who was a very interesting story teller about practices and characters that lived in Newcastle many years ago. Great storey about a huge disaster that led to the whole of the quayside being rebuilt thanks to queen Victora. Would definitely recommend this tour, wether your from Newcastle or further afield, we come from Newcastle but up till now knew very little about our nearest city.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
