Our guide Alex was excellent. She was very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. We enjoyed hearing some of teh history of teh local buildings and the city of Newcastle. We visited three interesting pubs/restaurants with food provided at two of them as part of the tour. The food at our last stop, the Spanish restaurant, Bocado, was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.

Becky did a great job taking us to delightful venues, and recounting some of the fascinating back stories about this wonderful harbour city. She was an engaging and knowledgeable guide, and the bars had a terrific range of cocktails for us to sample, along with tasty treats to chew on.

I enjoyed the history section of the tour particularly the architectural and urban renewal facts and the indigenous history. The windy weather did push us indoors a little more than expected. I think we may have walked a little more if it had been warmer. Becky was very knowledgeable and it was a great group of people to share a drink and chat with.
