Becky our guide was so knowledgeable and made the tour so exciting and fun! I loved being a tourist in my own city and learned so many new things. Would definitely recommend even if you have lived in Newcastle a long time! Likewise would recommend for tourists to get to know the interesting history of and stories about the area.

Becky was an amazing tour guide! Her passion for Newcastle’s architecture and history shone through the entire tour. Becky was so friendly and had lots of Newy recommendations, so great to do the tour at the start of your trip. Highly recommend!!

A perfect mix of first nations, industrial, architecture and civic history. As a local I really enjoyed the walk and our guides friendliness, and knowledge.

Becky is the both the proprietor and guide and her enthusiasm and love for the city was apparent. Her knowledge is expansive and there was a constant flow of relevant information from things most important to just interesting. She's formally educated in some of the topics she covers and speaks authoritatively about all of it. We've done many walking tours over the years and this one rates as one of our best experiences. If you like walking tours to help orient you to a city, this one is worthwhile doing.

We did the Newcastle Gin Masterclass on Sunday. It was tons of fun. Our tour guide, Becky, shared lots about the history of pubs in Newcastle which was quite interesting (Do you know where the idea of Happy Hour comes from?). She also told us about the heritage architecture of the buildings and the beautiful artist created murals we passed on our walking tour. We learned a lot about gin, had some lovely cocktails, learned some Newcastle history, and had lots of laughs. I also was served the best gin and tonic cocktail I have ever tasted! Thanks Bec for another fabulous tour!

Becky, the guide, is passionate about Newcastle and so knowledgeable about all aspects that make up this city. The history, the present and the future of Newcastle were all a part of the walking tour. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Loved it so much I did a different tour the next day.

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.

We really enjoyed the enthusiasm of Alex our guide. We visited quirky bars and restaurants. Learnt about the nightlife of the city. We had lots of laughs!

I did the Seascapes to Laneway walk with Becky and it was wonderful. It was very informative, interactive and covered a great range of sights. Becky also made excellent suggestions for places to eat and shop in Newcastle. I would highly recommend doing walking tours with Newcastle Afoot.

This walking tour of Newcastle, NSW (25 Jan. 2023) by Newcastle Afoot (Becky) was incredible. I learnt a lot of fascinating history enhanced by visiting sites of interconnection between people, architecture, industry in this very special small city. Highly recommended.

The Seascapes to Laneways tour that we did on a perfect Newcastle Sunday morning was a great experience. While we know Newcastle well because we live here, we learned lots more things about our beautiful and interesting city. Bec has a great knowledge of Newcastle’s colourful history and is more than happy to share it in an informative but also amusing way. We walked past heritage buildings, down cute, hidden little laneways and past the beautiful beaches. Congratulations to Bec who has created a unique and much needed business in Newcastle, and whether you live right here in the Hunter or come from afar, you won’t be disappointed with the Newcastle Afoot experience.

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.

The tour offers cultural, historical and city regeneration artistic perspectives in a very enlightening and entertaining 2.5 hours easy walk exploring the sites of the east end of town. Our enthusiastic guide Becky has become very much part of the local community and tells many stories that enhance the tour experience. The sighting of two whales at our coffee stop at the beach was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you Becky for your passionate, knowledgeable and interesting tour of Newcastle. It was lovely to see some sights that I would not have found alone. The tur was well paced, an easy walk and a great way to see Newcastle. I woudl recommend if you are in Newcastle!

A wonderful easy walk through historic landmarks. The tour guide Becky was so knowledgeable and taught me so much about a city I’ve lived in for nearly a decade. Highly recommended!
