Sustainable Travel in North East England: A Journey with Newcastle Tour Company

Sustainable travel isn’t just a trend; it’s a commitment to preserving the beauty and heritage of our destinations.

At Newcastle Tour Company, we are deeply committed to this cause, offering eco-conscious tours throughout North East England that not only provide memorable experiences but also respect and protect the environment.

Our Sustainable Practices

Hadrian's Wall

Our dedication to sustainability includes offsetting our carbon footprint through Ecologi, ensuring that each team member’s entire carbon footprint, from personal travel to daily activities, is compensated.

We also plant hundreds of trees annually, contributing to reforestation efforts both locally and globally. With every booking, guests can participate in our tree-planting initiatives, making their journey even more meaningful.

We prioritize local partnerships, ensuring that we work with regionally owned coach and chauffeured travel operators.

This not only supports the local economy but also reduces environmental impact.

Our tours feature locally sourced food from restaurants and quirky eateries that we’ve personally vetted and highly recommend.

Tours That Celebrate Local Culture and Sustainability

Newcastle Street Food Tour

Explore Newcastle’s vibrant history and culture with our thoughtfully curated tours.

For example, our Newcastle Pub Tour offers a taste of the city’s iconic pub culture, complete with stories from the past and a selection of local brews. This walking tour emphasizes visiting local establishments, supporting small businesses, and reducing transportation emissions.

For a deeper historical journey, our Hadrian’s Wall & Durham Dales Tour offers a private, chauffeured experience through breathtaking landscapes. We explore Roman forts and the serene Durham Dales, all while maintaining a low environmental impact.

Our guides, who are trained and vetted by us, provide insights into the region’s rich history and natural beauty.

Additionally, our True Crime Tour and Street Food Experience not only highlight the city’s diverse culture and culinary delights but also focus on small, local businesses, ensuring an authentic and sustainable experience.

Our Commitment to a Greener Future

Partnership with Ecologi

Our sustainability efforts are also reflected in our internal practices. We have signed up with Ecologi and The Eden Projects, funding Gold Standard climate projects. This initiative helps us maintain a Climate Positive Workforce, offsetting the carbon footprint of every employee. We believe that our commitment to sustainability starts at home and extends to every guest who joins our tours.

By choosing Newcastle Tour Company, you are not only exploring the rich heritage and natural beauty of North East England but also supporting responsible tourism practices. Join us in our mission to travel sustainably and experience the true essence of this beautiful region.
