We met with Julia the guide who was exactly on time, and we were only two couples on our day. Started off slightly early due to the inclement weather. The walk was at a reasonable pace, although people should bring their own torch light, given that some of the lanes and alleys that we walked through were relatively dark.
The stories were very entertaining and told in an interesting way. Julia made a point to emphasize that these were all real stories, and not supernatural or contrived stories.
It was a good way to see Newcastle in a different (dim) light, and the stories helped making more real. We were just coming to the end of our the tour when the rains started coming down and it was a quick and abrupt end.
