See the best of Newcastle in three hours aboard our comfortable mini-van. With a small group and a locals' route, you'll take in the coastline, the history and the hidden corners most visitors never find.

What you'll do:
-Explore Newcastle's iconic sights: From ocean baths carved into the rocks to clifftop forts, heritage churches and coastal lookouts, you'll see Newcastle the way locals know it.
-Five stops with guided walks: At each stop we leave the van to explore on foot. You'll visit Christchurch Cathedral, the historic Bogie Hole, the Anzac Memorial Walk, a favourite local lookout, and Fort Scratchley, with your guide bringing each to life.
-A taste of the local scene: We'll point out the eateries, cafes and spots that make Newcastle a foodie favourite, so you know where to come back to later.
-Newcastle's fascinating history: As Australia's second oldest city, it's rich in heritage, and your guide shares the convict and coastal stories behind each landmark.
