Heritage and History Walks with Newcastle City Guides

Newcastle City Guides offer a fascinating programme of different heritage walking tours, covering central Newcastle and Gateshead, as well as surrounding areas: Gosforth, Jesmond, North and South Tyneside and Sunderland. 

Heritage walks are usually held on Sunday afternoons at 2.30pm and Wednesday afternoon/evening and the season runs from May till the beginning of November.  All tours will be listed a few weeks in advance.  

2025 season tickets are on sale now! 
£5 off if you buy before the end of the year - a great gift for family and friends. 

If you do not have a Newcastle City Guides Season Ticket then never fear - you are very welcome too!  Please pre-book your tickets for the tour of your choice at a cost of £7 per adult and £5 per concession (over 60s) or you can just turn up on the day.  If you do please try to have the correct cash amount as the Guides do not have credit card machines.

Walk tickets can be pre-booked online in advance (NB - bookings close at 5pm the day before the event).

Pre-booking online will guarantee your place but walk-ups are always available on the day, even if fully booked online ..

If you are a season ticket holder you MUST bring it with you or you will be asked to pay.

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.

We accept no responsibility or liability for loss or injury (other than for matters for which we are not legally able to exclude or limit liability). We have public liability insurance.
