We did the 2 hour Bushtucker walk in Federal and it was fantastic! Learned so much about edible and useful rainforest plants from our guide Delta. At the end of the tour we got to taste some of the bush foods that we hadlearned about. Highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely fantastic! Loved this walking tour (did the Seascapes to Laneways walking tour). it was one of the best I've been on. There's so much to learn about the city from it's early settler history, through to Mankin and what's happening and Aboriginal history to the city today. Seeing it through Becky's eyes makes you feel just as passionate for Newcastle as she is. Becky was a wonderful host and brimming full of information. Looking forward to trying the Architecture, Street Art & Hidden Secrets Tour!

Basically the tour was useless. A girl came and explained some crimes happened some time back which wasn't interesting or exiting at all. We spent 136 aud for 4 ppl and it was all in vain. She showed us some pictures which were not clear. I seriously don't know why ppl rated this 4 stars. My advice is DON'T waste your time and money. We Basically paid money to walk around new castle's old streets for 90 mnts in heavy rain.
