• 5We love Gabe

  Gabe was an excellent guide and made our tour ten times more enjoyable. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable over the two hour course, and I would recommend him to anybody in the future who wishes to book as such a tour. (Gabe is the BEST!) My favourite part of the tour was the graveyard story, and, I think it would benefit the company significantly to provide more detail as such to these kinds of stories, not only to enrich the experience for the customers in terms of immersion, but also to assist guides like Gabe, (our favourite) in recounting them in a more detailed and accessible way. We really enjoyed Gabes style of story telling. 10/10

• 5Fun experience

  What a great way to finish off our day. Jiulia was an amazing guide. Lovely walk through Newcastles main sites but weaved with Newcastle’s darker history from penal colony, to murders and suicide. We had a great group and had some good chats. Our guide was informative, entertaining and friendly. Highly recommend. We had dinner at the Great Northern first. Also recommend. The ricotta ravioli delicious.

• 5Good walk with interesting stories

  Interesting to learn a little of a different side of Newcastle. Was also good to walk around the next day and see in daylight some of the areas from the previous night. Our guide was young, friendly and knowledgeable and we chatted quite a bit. Definitely glad we did it.

About Newcastle

Newcastle is a coal-port city at the mouth of the Hunter River in New South Wales, with surf beaches, ocean baths and a lighthouse on a long breakwater.

Newcastle began as a convict settlement in 1804 and grew around coal and, later, steelmaking, and its harbour is still among the largest coal ports in the world. The centre curves around the water, with Christ Church Cathedral on the hill and heritage buildings along Hunter Street. Nobbys Head, a headland topped by a lighthouse, is joined to the shore by a long breakwater, and Fort Scratchley, a nineteenth-century coastal fort, guards the harbour mouth.
