Our home city. You'll not be surprised to read then, that we do believe this to be the greatest city on earth. If you're not convinced, we'd love to prove it.
We live, work & play here and have hosted more touring teams into The Toon than any other of our long list of destinations.
This vibrant, fun-loving, sport-mad city boasts one of England's finest cityscapes. Whether it be the stunning Quayside or striking Grey Street, Newcastle definitely raises an eyebrow & that is before night falls and the night owls hit the packed streets.
Whilst the local pro-side Newcastle Falcons may have lost a march on other Premiership Clubs, the club still sits at the top of a great pyramid of rugby in the North East. The game thrives in these parts & a trip to 'KP' for a Premiership game is still a hugely worthwhile addition to any tour here.
Off the pitch, we'll get you Surfing on the North Sea at Tynemouth, trekking on Hadrian's Wall & eating at some of our favourite restaurants.
Howay hinny, had yersel' up here.

Travelling to Newcastle by Coach is simple. The city is on the A1 motorway with good access to Leeds, Edinburgh & Manchester.
Travel times by Coach are as follows:
A short drive East of Newcastle will get you to North Shields Ferry Terminal. From here, DFDS Seaways offer daily overnight crossings in from Amsterdam. For teams travelling to Newcastle from the Netherlands, we work closely with DFDS, so we're able to include ferry crossings to your tour package.
Our new and exciting link with LNER has opened up Newcastle as a destination to many. From Kings Cross, you can be in Newcastle within 3-hours. With Hotels available within walking distance, the days of traffic-jams and late-arrivals are a thing of the past.
Newcastle International Airport maybe lacks the global presence of Manchester or London Heathrow, but the city has good links across Europe with airlines like KLM, Easyjet, Aer Lingus and Ryanair. If you're travelling to Newcastle as part of a wider multi-stop tour, then consider flying into Glasgow, Edinburgh or Manchester - all are bigger 'hubs' than the airport at Newcastle.
Refurbished & rebranded in 2023, the Kabanas Hostel in Newcastle has risen to the top of websites like TripAdvisor for budget Accommodation in Newcastle.
This excellent venue offers large, clean, safe and spacious en-suite rooms, a great bar/restaurant, chill-out rooms, 24-hr reception & a location which will have you in the heart of Newcastle in minutes.
Overlooking the majestic Central Station in Newcastle, the Hampton-by-Hilton is an excellent 3* Hotel in the heart of the city.
Bright & spacious, the twin/double rooms are crammed with creature comforts alien to the traditional rugby tour. Widescreen HDTV's, Wifi, Power Showers and enormous beds add some box-tickers to the property.
A 24-hour Reception, Cafe, Bar area make a great base & the buffet breakfast each morning will have you well stocked until lunch.
When this Hotel is full, we recommend the Holiday Inn Express, a great hotel built in the shadows of the St James' Park Football Stadium.
