    Our tour guide, Jade, made it extremely fun and interactive. She was very knowledgeable and animated in telling us true crimes stories. Highly recommend! (Hope your boss buys you a drink! 😝)

    We did the True Crime Tour lead by Jade. Even though it was an extremely hot evening, Jade made it fun. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Being locals, we were taken to places we had never seen and told some gruesome true stories. Highly recommend

    We were taken on the True Crimes Tour of Newcastle by Nat. It was a great way to experience some of Newcastle's history. The tour was well paced and the commentary was interesting and well delivered. A very worthwhile experience.
