Excursion Historic pub crawl tour at Newcastle upon Tyne

Join your guide on a 2.5-hour walking tour of the historic area of Newcastle, visiting four of its historic pubs, bars and hidden gems. Your half-day excursion is packed with great stories of Newcastle's past from its convict settlers to miners and all the miscreants and the occasional drunken 'knights' in between. Newcastle's history is best told over a drink, or two.

Newcastle, or 'Newie' as the locals call it, loves a drink. When learning about all the great and terrible things that have happened here, you'd need a drink too. From its convict roots as a place of 'Secondary Punishment', its time as the nation's 'Coalopolis', to the '89 Earthquake through to its recovery today, this tour gets under the skin of the city to unearth its true character. The best place to find that character? A pub.

Visit four local venues during this historic pub tour and learn all about the local beers & breweries, the 6 o'clock swill, the first lock out laws, tales about Molly Morgan and a few other Hunter bar maids. You will also get an insight in Newcastle's founding and the convict history before it is time to rejoin the shuttle and return to the pier.
