Newcastle City Highlights Walking Tours

Tickets for Newcastle City Guides’ City Highlights walking tours are now on sale.  

In 2025 City Highlights walking tours will take place daily from 1st May until 31st October*.

Our walking tours around Newcastle provide a fascinating introduction to the 2,000 year history and culture of our wonderful city.  Each tour is conducted by a trained and enthusiastic volunteer.  We look forward to showcasing the city we all love.

Tours start at 10.30am at the entrance to Central Arcade on Grey Street, near Grey’s Monument, and finish on Newcastle Quayside.

The route includes some steep steps; however, we can adapt. We encourage you to discuss any needs with your guide on the day.

Tickets are £10 for adults and accompanied children under 16 years are free. NCG Season Ticket Holders please book a space.

Pre-booking online is preferred.  This guarantees a space and means we can arrange enough guides to create the best possible experience. 
Groups of 8+ please book in advance. 
Walk-ups are available on the day on a cash only basis.
Note - dogs are not allowed on our walks, with the exception of assistance dogs.
*Tours will not operate on 6th July or 7th September due to local events.

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.

Standard Disclaimer - Your participation in the guided walk is at your own risk and we shall not be held liable under any circumstances for any matter arising out of your participation.  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.
