Fun experience. Helen was a great guide- friendly and engaging with the whole group. A great way to find out a bit more about Hexham’s history.

Longstone Tour - wonderful
We had a great time, George and Rachel were very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful afternoon seeing lots of seabirds, but my highlight was seeing the seals! Two of our party went into the Longstone lighthouse which they enjoyed especially my daughter as she had learnt about Grace Darling at school! We felt it was really good value to see some amazing sights!! I would highly recommend this trip!

Gruesome Tour of Hexham964annel, Aug 2026
Entertaining, historical walking tour
What a great walking tour. I’ve lived locally for 40 years and took a friend who was visiting with me. We learnt so much, brought to life by the incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining Helen. You shouldn’t really miss this when you visit Hexham, it’s a fantastic way to spend an hour and grab a coffee in the market square afterwards!

3 Hour Walking Tour through Newcastle upon Tyne912garryl, Aug 2026
Newcastle, the heart of the Industrial Revolution
Great tour, very knowledgeable guide who led us at a good well measured pace.
Lived in Newcastle for 45 years, still so much history of the city to learn.

A fun experience
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the Farne Islands.Saw seals, puffins and gannets with lots of commentary from the guide although occasionally it was difficult to hear what she was saying.The boat was older and more basic than some of the other tour providers but that added to the charm.

A very enjoyable and interesting trip.
We had a fantastic trip to Longstone Lighthouse. The boat trip itself was well organised and took around 45 mins each way. It was great to be able to walk inside the lighthouse and see Grace Darling’s bedroom where she spotted the wrecked ship which led her to rescue the drowning passengers. We were lucky enough to have a friendly seal pop up to see us a few times which was great for the children. The puffins had already left the islands as it’s a bit late in the year for them, but we really did enjoy the trip and would recommend it.

How the women of Newcastle helped change the future
Helen gave us such an informative and really interesting tour around Newcastle. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we learnt such a lot

Puffins and seals galore.
The kids and my parents really enjoyed the tour. The skipper and guide were very funny and friendly. Learned so much about the wildlife and history. Very lucky to see a bunch of puffins but the seals are still my favourite.

Scenic 4 Mile Guided Walk along Hadrian’s WallAdrian_T, Aug 2026
I don’t think I would do a non guided walk again!
We really enjoyed the experience of walking along The Wall with our great guide Katie. A great challenge in some trying weather but we left educated and refreshed with a sense of achievement for us.

Newcastle history, easy to understand.
Laura B. was able to give us a very good history of Newcastle by reviewing various buildings and statues and works of art. I appreciated the different times these related to in history from current to very ancient. She was able to walk us through town while describing the many epochs.

Excellent tour
The tour was fascinating and thought-provoking. Our guide, Helen, was passionate about the subject and she really brought to life the sacrifices made by these brave women so women could have the vote. We were a group of 10 friends, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I can highly recommend it.

Scenic 4 Mile Guided Walk along Hadrian’s WallMary_S, Jul 2026
A Northumberland must-do!
This was a highlight of our time in Northumberland. Katie is so fantastic: warm, engaging, so much fun, and so knowledgeable about this fascinating piece of history, geography, geology, and culture. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!
The terrain is certainly rough and rocky in places, but as long as you’re even moderately fit, able, and willing, you’ll enjoy a great outing.
Thank you, Katie and Claire!

3 Hour Walking Tour through Newcastle upon Tyne595merler, Jul 2026
Insightful and fascinating tour
Martin took me on a fascinating tour of Newcastle. His knowledge of the city's rich history as well as its current developments is truly impressive. He also showed me places I would never have explored on my own, including the Lit & Phil Library and one of the city's beautiful churches. Although the tour was quite extensive, it remained engaging and enjoyable throughout. By the end, I felt I had gained a comprehensive understanding of Newcastle and its unique character. Highly recommended.
