Newcastle is famous around the world for its great pubs, lively nightlife, and wonderfully friendly Geordie locals. There’s no better way to experience the spirit of the city than through its historic taverns — and this private Newcastle Historic Pub Tour combines the best of both worlds: exceptional pubs and fascinating local history.
This is far more than a simple pub crawl. As you walk between venues, you’ll explore some of the most beautiful streets in Britain, along with hidden back lanes and historic corners that most visitors never see. Along the way, your guide will bring the city’s past vividly to life — from medieval Newcastle to its industrial heyday and modern reinvention. At each carefully selected pub, your drink is included, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy the experience.
Begin at Newcastle Central Station inside one of the most sumptuous pubs anywhere in Britain, famous for its breathtaking interior and a remarkable, unexpected history. From there, we continue to a collection of authentic local pubs, each with its own distinctive character and story. You’ll enjoy a drink in the oldest pub in Newcastle, once frequented by an infamous monarch, and visit another whose landlord was once officially the largest and heaviest man in the world. Every pub on this tour is genuinely local, atmospheric, and completely different from the last.
Between stops, you’ll take in many of Newcastle’s most iconic sights and streets, including the Castle and Cathedral, Grey’s Monument, the Theatre Royal, the elegant Central Arcade, and much more — all woven seamlessly into the storytelling of the tour.
This is a completely private experience, taken at your own pace, with a drink included in every pub we visit. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly — as if you’re exploring the city with a local friend rather than following a rigid itinerary.
Your guide can meet you at your city-centre hotel, anywhere near a Metro station, or directly at Newcastle Central Station — whichever is most convenient for you.
Tour runs daily but must be booked in advance as it's a private tour and sells out!
Tours begin anytime from 11AM
