We had the most enjoyable and informative evening taking part in the "Newcastle True Crime Walking tour" Our guide Anna was absolutely wonderful, so friendly and knowledgeable and her presentation of these gruesome stories really made them come to life. . Anna safety guided us around the city pointing out all the relevant sites and with her in depth knowledge had us hanging on her every word. Nothing was a problem and Anna was even able to answer questions about other historical points of interest that we noticed as we walked the trail. I have lived, worked and socialised in Newcastle all my life but had no idea of the incredible historical facts relating to this tour. I also found that as we walked around this beautiful city we started to "look up" and take notice of the beautiful architecture which all have their own stories to tell. This wonderful tour has opened my eyes to the beautiful and historic city we call home and inspired me to look closer to home for entertaining days and evening's out. Thank you Anna for getting us to open our eyes to this wonderful part of the world and embrace what is around us. Hope to catch up soon on another magical experience.
