Newcastle City Highlights - Walking Tour

This walking tour provides a fascinating introduction to the history and culture of our wonderful city of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Tours start at 10.30am outside Central Arcade on Grey Street, near Grey’s Monument and finish at approximately midday on Newcastle Quayside.

This walk includes a steep downward slope to the Quayside, so guests with wheelchairs or limited mobility may prefer to finish the tour at Newcastle Castle. Please discuss this with the guide before the tour starts.

If you are a 2025 season ticket holder, please remember to bring your ticket with you or you will be asked to pay.

Tour lasts approx 1.5hrs.

Assistance dogs only. No other pets allowed.

Safety Information

To attend our walks you need to be reasonably fit, prepared to be responsible for your own safety, and to supervise any children in your care. Appropriate clothing and footwear is recommended. A bottle of water, an umbrella and an extra layer wouldn't go amiss. The British weather is notoriously changeable! Newcastle is an historic city with uneven pavements and narrow passages add to its unique character. There are also often steps to navigate. Our walks take approximately 90 minutes, are you comfortable walking and standing for that length of time? If there’s any activity you are unable to do or if you have a concern, please contact us at newcastlecityg@gmail.com before booking. We try to stick to footpaths and use pedestrian crossings where available. If you have any pre-medical conditions or injuries that may affect you walking or feel unwell during a walk, please let your Guide know.
