Seascapes to Laneways Gift Card

Seascapes to Laneways is the premier walking tour of Newcastle. Locals and visitors alike will enjoy this fun and informative experience, discovering the best kept secrets of Australia's 2nd oldest city. Our local guides are top rated on TripAdvisor and passionate about showing off our beautiful city.  

Explore the eclectic streets between the harbour and the sea, find hidden houses, art and laneways, and check out exciting local businesses. We'll show you some of Newcastle's most interesting hidden historic sites and architecture, beautiful beaches, and new creative hubs.

The tour is full of fascinating stories from Aboriginal culture, and convict and industrial history, right through to what makes modern Newcastle tick. The city has been going through big changes - we will show you how a colonial and industrial city is becoming a creative and tech leader.

Your tour includes a 20 minute cafe stop with complimentary coffee, tea or an ice cream.

Your tour starts at Queens Wharf, 150 Wharf Road.

We will meet near the Bykko bicycle hire stand on the colourful pavement between Queens Wharf Hotel and Six Degrees Cafe. Look for your guide in a Newcastle Afoot t-shirt - don't worry, we will be easy to find! There is seating available in the area. We will walk through historic Newcastle East, and finish back where we started.
