Not a guided walk. An exploration with a knowledgeable local friend.
Your tour begins wherever is most convenient — your hotel, a Metro station, or Newcastle Central Station. Because this is completely private, everything is tailored to you: the route, the pace, and the focus. If you’d like to pause for a coffee, linger by the river, or simply soak up the atmosphere — just say so.
Newcastle was once synonymous with coal, shipbuilding and industrial power. Today it’s reinvented itself as one of Britain’s most exciting city destinations — celebrated for its dramatic bridges, striking architecture, vibrant culture, and famously warm locals. Your guide has lived and breathed this city for decades.
The Tyne Bridge — visitors from Sydney will recognise it!
Grey’s Monument — top of the most beautiful street in Britain
The Hidden Gems
Markets, arcades, cathedrals & England’s oldest dining hall
We’ll explore the lively Grainger Market, wander through the stunning Victorian Central Arcade, and stop for photographs beside the statue of Martin Luther King — who visited Newcastle’s world-leading university.
Then into Chinatown and Blackfriars, home to England’s oldest dining hall. And of course St James’ Park, the fortress that dominates the skyline and the hearts of the city.
The tour can also be extended to include the Angel of the North or beautiful Tynemouth — just ask.
Founded in 2012
The original private tour company — and still the best
I founded Ye Olde England Tours in 2012 — the first company in the country to run tours this way, and now widely copied. Every tour is private, every tour is personal, and every tour is different because every group is different.
I’ve been guiding people around Newcastle for over a decade and I’m still passionate about showing visitors what I genuinely believe is the best city in the world.
