Victoria Tunnel Support Guide

Help support the tunnel guide team lead tours in Victoria Tunnel – the number one thing to do in Newcastle on TripAdvisor – and support them to make it a wonderful fulfilling experience for thousands of visitors a year. 

Our guides run short 75-minute tours and longer 2-hour tours both for the public and private groups through part of the historic tunnel, running underground for two and a half miles beneath Newcastle’s city centre. 

We focus on two key periods of the Tunnel’s history its beginning as a Victorian coal wagonway and its use as an air-raid shelter during World War II. You’ll support our guides with delivery of the tour, but you don’t need to have full training on the history and content. The Tunnel Support role is focused on tour operations, ensuring high health and safety standards through the visit and helping the tour run smoothly.

Tours are delivered by pairs of guides, and we support our volunteers to buddy up or to lead tours with a range of people, whichever suits them most.
