Ouseburn Trust

We took our grandson to visit this tunnel last Monday and what an experience it was. The volunteer guides were so well informed and made the tour historically interesting with a bit of humour thrown in. Very well worth a visit to find out about this tunnel under the city streets.

Really enjoyable tour. It's just a very old tunnel and you can only walk along less than 1km. But the guides bring it alive. Excellent value. Interesting stories. The Ship Pub nearby does good food and great beer!

Friendly helpful staff. Tour guides made our tour lots of fun and educational

Had previously tried to book this tour on at least half a dozen occasions and failed due to it's popularity. Ironically when we finally managed to secure a place, due to heavy traffic we arrived here nearly quarter of an hour late! Fortunately the very helpful young lady in reception walked us a few hundred yards to the entrance and we managed to catch the tour.The history of the Tunnel is brought to life by the excellent guides we had who were so passionate about the tunnel.We only had the one hour tour but we will be back....with friends to take advantage of the tour hour tour. We then returned to the Souvenir shop and spoke to several members of the staff who again were so passionate and proud of this the project.The people of Newcastle and The North East should be proud of this relatively new tourist attraction.

We joined the In search of Hadrian's wall - Ouseburn" tour and the passion and enthusiasm of guides Lesley and George was a large part of the success of the event. Definitely 5 stars for this one!"

Brilliant event, thoroughly enjoyed it. Diane was engaging and knowledgeable, obviously had done so much research. The photo packs helped set the scene. Lesley's links to fictional murders brought in another interesting element and loved the ending in the tunnel! A great event!

Brewery tour - brilliant. Really interesting hearing not just about the beers, but history of Ouseburn, community & business aspects

Ouseburn trust have created a mini Shoreditch in Newcastle. On the picturesque Ouseburn River leading to the entrance to the tyne this stunning area give visitors a taste of culture with its bars restaurants and some fantastic street art.A lovely stroll is highly recommended along the banks of the Ouseburn.Something for all ages great pubs, food abd entertainment there's even a great little farm to vist featuring a great section of farm animals.

Visited the Victoria Tunnel on their 1 hour guided tour. Wish the 2 hour one was available (all booked up). Excellent experience from start to finish. Some really interesting and varied history. The guide , Pete, was also excellent and just the right for this. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic (and quiet on his feet) he greatly added to the sum of the visit. The guide book, for me, is also worth having. Hopefully with more support they can do more with this tunnel and it's history. There's LOTS of history around it. Highly recommended.

I've lived in Newcastle for over 20 years and much to my shame this was my first visit. It won't be my last as I shall be sure to bring all future visitors to experience this. Absolutely fascinating history. Amazing what lies hidden beneath your feet. Go there and experience it for yourself. Volunteer guides who know their stuff and share their knowledge with great humour.
