While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

This is the least confronting of our tour range. Transport used on the trip is either private or a very comfortable public option, the activities included are usually iconic sites and locations that are not all too confronting.

The comforts of your home town and the environment you are used to are more of a rarity. Expect some challenging transport options, visits to local sites and areas that don't resemble anything at home.

You're out there in the global community! You are likely to be exposed to the elements, travel in whatever means of transport is available and basically take it as it comes, whatever comes! It can be tough.

To help you choose the trip that's right for you, we've broken all of our trips down into four service levels. Measuring the comfort level of the accommodation and transport. So whether you're travelling on a budget and want to save money by using public transport, or prefer upgraded accommodation and are happy to pay a little more, then we have a level for you.

Traveler Reviews

This city tour hop on off bus had a good speaker audio system in English so you didn't need the hard plastic ear pieces to hear the tour info. We didn't realize that there are three different hop on off tours in Edinbourgh. We booked the city tour in advance only to find it didn't go to our cruise port. For 4 pounds more each, we were able to add another hop on off bus that connected us. It was raining so with only half of the top of the bus was covered, many people were on the lower level. One bus passed me without stopping. I guess they were full. Otherwise, the tour was typical.

A good tour to get a feel for Newcastle. Details are not well publicised at the website. Tours start half-hourly from Bewick Street near Central Station from 1030, and a circuit take 55 minutes. Last tour is at 1500. There are 17 stops. Tours run 7 days a week. Seniors fares were listed as unavailable at the Viator website, so we paid 8 pounds each online through Viator for our one-day Adult tickets. Had we paid at the bus it would have been only 6 pounds each for Seniors tickets. The driver said there is never a problem with seating availability. Good commentary, but only available in English.

Complete bust as I purchased the ticket but the hop on hop off was not running that day due to the Great North race. They should have known that when I booked as it is the biggest half marathon in the world.

Waited for an hour to get on. First bus was full. Second bus had no audio downstairs in bus. We were afraid to hop off as we might not be able to get back on the next one.

Brilliant way to see the sights. Beware that the last departure in Summer is around 2.45pm.

This is a good option to see the must important attractions. Takes between 20 to 30 minutes for the bus to pass by. The only downside is that the bus didn and #39;t have the option for headphones so that makes difficult to hear the explanation. That and #39;s why I give 4 start

We were so pleasantly surprised by how much we liked this city. We walked over the tilting bridge and got to see the tilting bridge in action. Amazing. The hop on/hop off bus was a great way to get an overview of what and #39;s out there. The people are so nice!!

Unfortunately, we were not able to use the vouchers. Reading the tour times from 1030 until three, that was followed by the terms that the voucher was good for 24 hours. I misunderstood and thought that the last tour started at three. However when we try to catch the tour bus at three the driver said they were done for the day. It is unfortunate we did not get to use the Boucher's so I can give no review. Because a review rating is required for me to submit this, I will give it one star but it is not actually an accurate reading

We have used Hop-on Hop-off buses in several European cities as a quick way to get orientated and see sites that you probably would not have bothered with otherwise. There was a stop a short walk from our hotel and easy enough to find. A bus arrived within a minute of the displayed time. The driver was able to quickly check our vouchers then hand us our tickets and maps. The view from the top deck was fine as we were near the front sheltered from any wind. The commentary was informative but I was surprised that no earphones were offered for alternative languages. Newcastle and Gateshead have some quite steep streets so the bus trip proved its worth in taking the strain. We stayed on the bus for the whole tour and did not do the hop-off, hop-on bit as anything we wanted to view proved to be within our walking range. The tour was value for money and we were satisfied that it fulfilled our wishes.

The tour was nice and commentary in English very clear. The stop at the Royal Mile was a bit crowded. The staff we very helpful.

This self-guided walking tour of Newcastle documents the route I followed when my Dad came to visit me in the North East for the first time recently.

I planned our day out in Newcastle meticulously to ensure Dad would get to see all of the top places of interest in Newcastle Upon Tyne on a straightforward scenic walk around the city.

I have to admit that I was more than happy to play tourist in the city and enjoyed this walk around some of Newcastle’s landmarks just as much as my old man did.

We covered the historic old town of Newcastle as well as the ever-evolving Quayside and even Toon gems like the Bigg Market!

Follow this easy self-guided walking tour of Newcastle’s landmarks for the best day out in the capital of the North.

My Newcastle Walking Tour Route

1. monument.

We started our day out in Newcastle at Monument metro station. Coming up the steps, you’re treated to a magnificent 360 view that encompasses some of Newcastle’s most impressive architecture.

Grey’s Monument spikes the skyline high above you while Grey Street and Grainger Street roll out in front of you, so it’s the perfect place to start your walking tour of Newcastle.

Completed in 1838, Grey’s Monument is one of the top landmarks in Newcastle. It commemorates local man Earl Grey, who was prime minister from 1830 to 1834.

On select dates, you can actually climb to the top of Grey’s Monument. I’m dying to do it!

2. Central Arcade

From Monument, we walked down Grainger Street and slipped into Central Arcade. The spectacular mosaics, stained glass and vaulted roof make it one of the most jaw-dropping sights in Newcastle’s city center.

You’ll find some local independent businesses inside, including a music shop that’s been there since 1908. Fun fact: the arcade was built as a corn exchange in 1837 but never actually used as one.

3. Grainger Market

Now for another Grainger Street marvel! When you walk through Grainger Market, it could be any date over the past 50 years. The indoor market has been serving Newcastle’s locals for more than 200 years and is now a listed building.

This is the place to grab a bite to eat (the mac and cheese stall gets my vote), shop vintage clothes or buy Geordie-themed gifts. You can also visit the world’s smallest M&S there.

4. Grey Street

Back out in the daylight, cut through Market Street and saunter down the iconic Grey Street. This is my favourite street in the city, not least because it’s lined with bars and restaurants that make it one of the best places to go in Newcastle. No, I love it for the architecture!

The grand Georgian buildings go back to the 1830s. It was crowned the 8th most Instagrammed street in England and it’s easy to see why. One of my favourite pieces of architecture is the Cathedral Buildings, which are easy to spot because of their pink hue.

5. Theatre Royal

You’ll pass Theatre Royal as you head down Grey Steet. Another Grade 1 listed building, the theatre dates back to 1837. The interior was redesigned after a fire but the façade has stayed the same.

6. Newcastle Castle

Further down the hill, you’ll reach Dean Street. Tucked away in a gap between two buildings are the Dog Leap Stairs. Climb these, and you’ll get to Newcastle Castle . This Norman Fortress is the city’s namesake. You need to book tickets online in advance to go inside. There’s a vast 43ft high Great Hall, the Castle Keep and plenty of passageways to explore.

I haven’t been inside yet, but I believe it’s worth a visit from the views alone! Buy your tickets online in advance here .

7. High Level Bridge

Are you ready for the best view of Newcastle’s Quayside? I’ve always looked at aerial view pictures of the Tyne and wondered where the photographer took them and now I know! Opened in 1849, High Level Bridge is one of the best photo spots in Newcastle and it’s just a few minutes walk from the castle via St Nicholas Street.

The view of the other bridges and across to Gateshead are unrivalled, don’t you think?

8. Sage Gateshead

On the other side of the water, you can visit Sage Gateshead . It’s the ‘bubble building’ that serves an events space for the North. It’s open to the public during from Thursday to Sunday, but it’s worth checking what’s on before your visit to Newcastle in case there’s anything exciting happening.

Just past the Sage is the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, which is housed in an old flour mill. There’s an excellent restaurant inside called Six and the BALTIC runs free walking tours on Thursdays at 10am (booking essential).

10. Millennium Bridge

I love that this Newcastle walking tour takes you over both the oldest and newest bridge in the city! I was pretty proud of myself when I realised the route I’d hastily planned when my Dad announced he was coming to visit ticked that box.

From outside the Sage, cross the ‘winking eye’ back to Newcastle.

11. Newcastle Quayside

There’s always something going on at the Quayside. If you’re visiting Newcastle at the weekend, you’ll should time your visit to coincide with the Sunday market.

During the summer months, the ‘Quayside Seaside’, complete with sand and deck chairs, takes over. This Autumn, they’ve got an Urban Garden set up where you can grab a coffee or an alcoholic drink. It’s a lovely place to sit and people watch!

12. Newcastle’s Cathedral

Once you’ve exhausted the possibilities on the Quayside, head back uphill to The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas. Founded in 1901, the building got cathedral status is 1882. It’s not quite as impressive as nearby Durham Cathedral, but still worth a look!

13. Bigg Market

The walk from the Quayside to the Bigg Market should take no more than 15 minutes but you can obviously stop to refuel wherever you like on the way. Located in a Middle Ages marketplace, the Bigg Market is the epicentre of Newcastle’s nightlife scene.

I just had to take my Dad for a drink in the quintessential Toon pub The Beehive, where trebles are £2.95 and I was the only woman in the establishment. We also had a drink in Newcastle’s oldest pub, The Old George Inn. It dates back to 1582!

From there, Dad and I went to a few more pubs so I’ll spare you the details of every place we stopped and skip straight to the next big Newcastle landmark…

14. St James Park

A nine-minute walk from the Bigg Market will bring you to St James Park, the city’s football stadium. You can book a stadium tour if you’re a fan.

15. Central Station

Skip St James Park if you’re not interested in football and end your walk around Newcastle at Central Station. If you’re ready for dinner at this point, I recommend Blackfriar’s, which is the oldest dining room in England. We went recently for the two-course lunch menu and it was truly exquisite.

If you’re keen to see more of the North East, I strongly recommend reading my guide to the best things to do in Durham as it covers the city itself, the countryside and the coast. You might find my guide to Durham’s best restaurants helpful for planning where to eat too.

You might be surprised to learn that there’s a ton of fun things to do in Sunderland ! I’ve written a list of my favourite Sunderland restaurants in my adopted home city.

Alternatively, head over to Tees Valley – it’s off the beaten path but it’s a great destination for foodies.

Visiting the North East in summer? Tynemouth and Cullercoats are my go-to for a day at the coast.

Romantic places to stay in Northumberland

Let me know how you get on with my self-guided walking tour of Newcastle! I think it includes a decent amount of landmarks and because it ends in an area that’s full of pubs and restaurants, it’s easy to find a place to refuel after all those steps.

When Dad and I did this walk around Newcastle, we managed 14,000 steps but we did a fair bit of wandering off the route I’ve documented here, so I reckon 10k is more accurate.

The Victoria Tunnel runs beneath the city of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne from the Town Moor down to the River Tyne and is now one of the must-see visitor attractions and heritage guided tours for visitors to NewcastleGateshead and locals alike. The entrance to the historic tunnel can now be found in Ouseburn , beside Hotel Du Vin . Victoria Tunnel was built in 1842 to transport coal from Leazes Main Colliery to riverside staithes (jetties) ready for loading onto ships. In 1939, it was converted into an air-raid shelter to protect hundreds of Newcastle citizens during World War II.

Join the expert volunteers at Victoria Tunnel and don a helmet before setting off on a fascinating, underground guided tour. Experience the sounds of a wartime air raid and follow your knowledgeable guides underground to discover the Tunnel's role as a colliery wagonway. Listen out for the oncoming coal wagons!

The Tunnel is open all year round to the public for guided tours which include fantastic sound and visual effects, running regularly throughout the year. In addition we have special events, including “Tipple in the Tunnel” (£30 per person) wine-tasting in co-operation with Hotel du Vin and “Sounds of the Underground” (various prices) music performed by local and international artists.
