Private tour of Newcastle

From Roman beginnings, through the Middle ages and wars with the Scots, to becoming one of the major cities of the British Empire, Newcastle's streets reflect its exciting history and vibrant present. Hadrian was here, William Wallace was here, Charles the First was here and George Stephenson invented the railway here. Sieges, riots, death and mayhem, Newcastle has seen it all. Ships set out from here to conquer the world and the wonderful architecture of the town show how much money was made in trade. Newcastle boasts the 'finest street in England' and with two universities, is a young and exhilarating place. Only London and Berlin have a better night life in Europe. Geordies know how to enjoy themselves and have a reputation for open friendliness that belies their British roots. I've lived in this area all my life and I will explain what you're looking at and what happened here. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Don't bring any coal with you.
