The Toon Tour is returning for 2026!
1 month ago
Exciting news - the Toon Tour is returning for 2026! Our award-winning open top sightseeing bus will be back in service from 23 May.
See the best of Newcastle
The Toon Tour starts at Central Station and there are 16 stops on the route, including the Grainger Market, St James’ Park, Ouseburn, Newcastle Castle and the Quayside. You can hop on or off at any of the stops.
Toon Tour won't cross the Tyne Bridge this year due to ongoing restoration works. You can use your 2026 ticket for 50% off your tour in 2027 to see the bridge up close.
The open topper is on the way dears! Make like Mrs Doubtfire and hop on the Toon Tour this summer.
