What better way to discover a new city than with a walking tour? Book a guided tour with Newcastle City Guides who run daily highlight tours in the city during spring and summer as well a packed programme of heritage walks. Or head down Victoria Tunnel or along the River Tyne with River Escapes and CBK Adventure Co.
