  I was really looking forward to this tour after doing similar ones over seas however we were very much disappointed with the tour guide Mel. Her mannerisms and personality made it extremely hard to follow the stories and her engagement with the tour members was odd. I’d be happy to provide more specific feedback if you wish to reach out.

• Morbidly interesting (and a good way to see a bit of Newcastle)

  Mars was a warm and passionate guide who gave us a fun and unique tour around Newcastle! Her knowledge and presentation of the material was top notch and it was clear everyone's experience mattered. We took our 3 children (18,12 and 10) and they all enjoyed themselves despite the cooler evening. Thanks Mars!

  We are local , it was a cool experience. There must be so many more stories that could be told, would be keen to go again if the content was different.Was also an easy walk. The guide was enthusiastic. Would be cool to get a phamlet at the start even a digital one to guide the journey with random information to follow as the tour went on.

  

• Informative tour with a passionate and knowledgeable guide. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

  We discovered Newcastle’s crime history in a fun way with our passionate tour guide Mars , on a dark , cloudy, windy night! Great stories and knowledgeable presentation.

  A great tour uncovering some of the true crime stories of Newcastle. Booking was very easy and communication was plentiful - had to have a change of tour guide which was quickly communicated and sorted with the provider.

• Super places to go for a crime story walk!

  Julia was great, super friendly and knowledgeable. A great way to see the area and find out a bit more about Newcastle.

• Entertaining night walk - just not weather-proof.

  We met with Julia the guide who was exactly on time, and we were only two couples on our day. Started off slightly early due to the inclement weather. The walk was at a reasonable pace, although people should bring their own torch light, given that some of the lanes and alleys that we walked through were relatively dark. The stories were very entertaining and told in an interesting way. Julia made a point to emphasize that these were all real stories, and not supernatural or contrived stories. It was a good way to see Newcastle in a different (dim) light, and the stories helped making more real. We were just coming to the end of our the tour when the rains started coming down and it was a quick and abrupt end.

  

  

• Engaging Solo Experience – A Must-Do in Newcastle

  I joined the Newcastle Dark Stories True Crime Tour solo and was thoroughly impressed. The guide was knowledgeable, witty, and highly interactive—cleverly weaving humour into chilling tales while making sure everyone felt included. Her storytelling brought Newcastle’s dark history to life in a way that was both entertaining and informative. A great experience for solo travellers and true crime fans alike!

• Educational! Thought there may have been a few more dark stories perhaps, but interesting all the same. Worth doing

  Thought there may have been more dark stories but interesting enough. One wonders if there are more to be found in archives etc. maybe more from recent years perhaps? Or tribal stories. All the same an entertaining evening and not too strenuous for this with walking issues.
