Thanks for your interest in bringing your husband in his wheelchair to the fantastic Victoria Tunnel. Because of the solid concrete WW2 Blast Walls, wheelchair access is restricted to the first 100 yards. If it's a foldable wheelchair we can get those around the Blast Walls, but that depends on whether the wheelchair user can walk approximately 10 yards. However, our guides are very happy to give wheelchair users a full verbal description of the Victoria Tunnel in those first 100 yards. I look forward to the time when we resume tours and if you book a tour mention at time of booking the position with the wheelchair. In the meantime keep safe and well.

Hi and thanks for your question. Our tours all start at 55 Lime Street Newcastle NE1 2PQ and finish on Ouse Street, next to Hotel du Vin NE1 2BE (close to Newcastle Quayside).

Yes, you can take your own camera and take pictures but it is very dark and everyone has their own flashlight so you might struggle. There is a nice walk through the Ouseburn before the tour which will take some nice photos.

Thanks for your question, the Victoria Tunnel is six foot three high with the occasional section being slightly less, so people over six foot two inches have to wear hard helmets and do have to adjust their stance to avoid bumping their head.

I think it’s 1 and a quarter miles out and the same back. The floor of the tunnel is clean dry and level. There are wooden benches half way but if you could get hold of a hunting stick that opens into a seat, it would be useful. The staff will escort you back out if it gets too much anyway.

No. I don’t think that is possible.

I am sorry I wouldn’t know but I am sure the cruise director on your tour will be able to google it for you

I did the two hour tour but I think the 1 hour tour would be just as informative and interesting. It was good but a little slow

Yes it is lit all the way and you have a torch as well. There is one point in the talk when they turn out all the lights for a few seconds so you can see what it was like for the miners working there
