“Bryony was a very kind tour guide and showed us by food the places to be in Newcastle. She always asked about our preferences and gave us the time we needed at the places we visited, which was positiv. But during the walk when asked for more facts about the history (not very specifc or deep) or the surrounding and these questions she had to pass the answer. For us, this didn´t bordered us (sometimes we googled ourselves) to much, but that´s the reason why we wouldn´t recommend the tour to others who are more interested in history.”
