      More than just a Vera experience
      I loved this tour. It was a perfect blend of Vera, history, and northeast scenery and culture. The guide and driver were knowledgeable, friendly and easy going.

      Stunning scenery.
      Did this tour on a gorgeous day in Northeast England. Amanda was our guide and Adam was the driver. Had a few “technical difficulties” with the DVD player but Amanda persevered and was able provide plenty of information about the show, the locations, and shooting of the episodes in Northumberland. Gorgeous scenery throughout the tour that even if you’re not a fan of the “Vera” show, the locations alone would make this trip worthwhile. Adam gets extra kudos for handling a coach bus on these extremely busy country roads and dealing with bad drivers heading back to Newcastle.

      Birthday treat
      Bought on a friends recommendation as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Had a fantastic guide and driver. Learned lots of background information about the programme and the stars of Vera. All while driving through our beautiful Northumberland countryside, who could ask for more?

      Fantastic full day Vera tour!
      We booked a full day private Vera tour and it exceeded all of our expectations! Our tour guide, Fran, was wonderful! She navigated very flooded countryside roads while providing both the history of the sites and lots of “behind the scenes” information about the filming of Vera locations in Northumberland. She is personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic! Having video clips of Vera episodes on a laptop that were filmed at the places we visited really added to the experience! It was a great day!

      A fantastic day for Vera fans
      I did the half day tour last year which my children bought me as a Christmas gift the previou year. I thoroughly enjoyed that day so last Christmas they purchased the full day. What an amazing day! Fran is an excellent guide, knowledgeable about Vera and the locations. Plenty of references to scenes in the series gorgeous scenery, renewed my acquaintance with Lindisfarne. Stopped off in Seahouses for fish and chips. If you love Vera this really is the tour for you, even saw Vera's land-rover driving off Lindisfarne as we were going towards it.I'll be booking for next year.

      Excellent tour, only let down by the coach.
      Excellent tour, a must for Vera fans. Plenty of information and facts. Fantastic scenery. Only let down by the coach. It was very hot! Asked the driver to make it cooler and put on the fan for about 30 seconds before turning it off before driving off. Also we had to sit at the back and every time the guide said look to your left all we saw was the toilet! Perhaps change the coach?

      Beauty of Northumberland!
      Loved it! Fran, tour tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much detail and fun facts! Our driver was terrific as well. Only wish we had more time on Lindisfarne/Holy Island to soak in the atmosphere. What a unique place. As a huge Vera fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Northumberland is gorgeous, even if it rained most of the day Lol! I was born in Wallsend so the rain was no surprise LOL! I highly recommend this tour!!

      A wonderful day in Northumberland traveling with Vera!
      This tour was brilliant from start to finish. Fran our Tour Guide was amazing. She is a lovely warm, friendly lady who knows her topic through and through plus her knowledge of the local History was so informative. Not to forget Jordan our tour driver who made it possible to get there! Our visit to The Holy Island was really great and then Seahouses where we had lunch and of course Fish & Chips, Vera's favourite food!! The Coastal Road drive back to Newcastle took us through picturesque villages and we were given plenty of photo stops. I would thoroughly recommend this all day tour for Vera Fans and of you are not a watcher you soon will be!!

      Super, filled, all day tour.
      Anne, the guide did a wonderful job of telling us about the history of the area. We saw beautiful countryside and had delicious fish and chips at our lunch break at Seahouses. We had time on Lindisfarne Island, and were able to walk close to Vera's house. Lindisfarne is home to 10 varieties of orchid, including one variety that ONLY grows there. Bryn was an able driver. Narrow roads and small villages. He did well.

    The tour guide, Amanda, really made it very interesting as she brought insight from having beena supporting artist on the actual show. She and the driver, Walter, managed to find a reasonable workaround when we unexpectedly encountered a road closure.
    As someone who was brought up in the North East, she also provided a lot of local information which I didn't know about.

    Perfect half day tour to see sights in Newcastle and along the coast. Josh was our guide who kept the tour lively and Adam was our driver who always remained steady on the wheel. Hop along to different “Vera” filming locations with either a quick snack (or walk) in Whitley Bay. Weather was up and down on our tour but a good introduction to the Newcastle/Northumberland area.

    When you go on a tour, you expect it to be all about the series. With this, we went a bit further than Whitley bay before going back into central Newcastle. You see a few locations and that's it. We had 2 breaks about half hour each, which I thought was a waste of time in itself as that could be time to tell more information about the series or even show some other locations .....so around an hour just wasted.
    The tour doesn't need to be 4 hours as it's really not much. Then there's the talking about Newcastle itself, which doesn't really have any relevance to the series in my opinion, that was boring, I don't need to know about who designed and built buildings and bridges, irrelevant to the series despite it being filmed in and around Newcastle. To be honest I was bored. I'd say maximum 2/2 and a half hours for this tour is more than enough and it is definitely overpriced at £42 for what it is. I wouldn't go on it again.

    This was a Christmas present for my Mum (2019) so we were pleased to at last get on the tour. Great tour for Vera fans, Mum is a great Ann Cleeves fan and has read all her books. The tour guide Anne was very pleasant, very knowledgeable, we are reasonably local (Co. Durham) but still learnt a lot about Newcastle that we didn't know before. Unfortunately the dvd player wasn't working but Anne did a great job describing the scenes for each location, I don't think we missed out by not having it. Weather was a bit drizzly at times but didn't spoil the day. Photo is of Newcastle Wall art behind the Sage.

    The tour started promptly with Fran introducing herself & our driver Mark. She then went on to outline what we could expect from our tour

    There was plenty of Vera related information throughout the tour interspersed with clips from the TV series that tied in with where we were at the time.

    Fran was an enthusiastic & entertaining guide who included information about the area in general alongside the Vera related information. This all added to the experience.

    There were stops along the way where we could leave the coach & get a drink/ice cream if we wanted to.

    We had a very enjoyable trip which even my husband, who isn’t a stalwart Vera fan, enjoyed.

    Well worth going on this tour. The scenery was also beautiful.

    Our guide Josh was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about Newcastle and the surrounding areas. His sense of humour made the tour even more enjoyable. The driver Paul was great.
    The tour was overall amazing for Vera fans as it covers quite a few locations and Josh presented loads of interesting facts. My partner is not a huge Vera fan but he enjoyed the tour too as we passed by some picturesque locations and Josh told us trivia not only about Vera but also about Newcastle and the other areas we visited.

    A most marvelous tour. This tour was mainly around Newcastle and Whitby. We learned so much regarding the history and industry of the area as well as seeing 'Vera' sites. Mark, the driver, did well, and Gran was an excellent guide.

    This trip was a great half day tour. While we both watch Vera, my wife has read all Ann Cleeves books. Ann, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had many anecdotes to tell along the way. Great scenery especially the beach towns, such as North Shields. Recommend for any Vera fan.

    Wonderful half day tour with Amanda and full day tour with Fran! Visiting locations where Vera scenes were filmed after seeing video clips of the Vera episode were great! And we enjoyed all the local information that they both shared along the way! We would encourage all Vera fans to go on both tours! A big shoutout to the best coach driver, Jake, whose driving was safe and fantastic!
