I didn’t know this side of Newcastle’s history and it’s really interesting! Our guide was excellent
guide and very knowledgable, and her sense of humour was quite grand indeed! All around,

Night Tour of the City!

Highly recommend a tour of the city in the night with Dark Stories. I saw Newcastle in a different way.
Historical, factual and quite remarkable. Our guide was EXCEPTIONAL going above and beyond
and so full of knowledge. I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you.

Terrific Tour

A friend and I had a wonderful tour with our guide. She was so warm,friendly and knowledgeable. The
stories were so fascinating and left us wanting more. One story in particular was the stuff of a Stephen King novel!
I can’t wait to revisit Newy to do the tour again! Highly recommended!
