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!

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.

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.

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.

Good coverage of scenes in the Vera series, with video replays to jog our memories. Also served as a good intro to local Newcastle sites. The coach was also very comfortable.

We had a gift for a half day Vera tour. Our guide was the incredibly enthusiastic Fran and in capable safe hands with driver Bryn. I would say to anyone who hasn't watched Vera this is also a good tour for you as there is lots of information about the locality also not relating to Vera. History of Newcastle, shipyards, first lightbulbs, museums etc. We learnt so much. The coach was on time, immaculate - in fact never seen a coaches windows so clean. Around Newcastle up to Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, pass Seaton Delval Hall, the coast etc. It was just wonderful we enjoyed it immensely. There were people from all over on the tour, America, Australia etc and also all ages. Thank you to Fran, the enthusiasm, the knowledge, the well researched facts. This tour was full and a lot of people going on the full day tour the following day. Absolutely fantastic thank you to all and also for hosting this tour to show the beautiful North East to the world. EXCEPTIONAL. Btw everyone had a great view.

Was a very good tour, Fran the guide was an excellent guide, visited a number of the filming locations, after watching clips on the TV along the way before visiting the scenes, was also given a lot of information about Newcastle. Would recommend this tour.

Excellent tour for all fans of Vera. Lots of interesting facts and great scenery. We saw lots of filming locations and the snippets of Vera videos before we arrived was great.

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.

Fantastic! I would definitely recommend this tour! Fran, our lovely tour guide, knew her stuff! Excellent job of covering all the spots with loads of detail and fun facts!!! Walter our driver did an amazing job of navigating us around the area through the pouring rain and busy traffic!

Took the 4 hour trip because the 8 hour didn’t suit our itinerary dates - note that they only operated every 2 weeks in July23. Josh was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic leader and Bryn navigated the route expertly in the full size coach. There was commentary, location clips from the show and several stops to get a closer look. The 8 hour trip visits Vera’s home on the Holy Isle which is much further away from Newcastle than we went, but it apparently doesn’t visit all the spots we did. Well recommended.

Tour guide ,while seeming quite new to the job,made up for it with his friendly personality and i really enjoyed the trip.lots of facts,not just about vera but all the other places we travelled through.the driver was excellent as well.

If you enjoy Vera then you will enjoy this informative and entertaining tour. You will also see some of the highlights of the North East.

Coach arrived on time and your guide very informative a very good trip recommended locations great and coach very comfortable
