About Us
Newcastle Afoot is a locally owned and operated small tour business, with a focus on sharing Newcastle's exciting culture and community.
We saw a gap in the provision of experiences that introduce people to Newcastle's modern and diverse cultural landscape, alongside our heritage and gorgeous beaches.
Hi Becky here! I believe that the great businesses in the world are the ones that contribute to society, and I am not afraid to think big! Here’s what our business is about.
Our Mission
To create fun and informative experiences that encourage conversation about the changing face of Newcastle.
To assist visitors and those new to town to make the most of their time here.
To contribute positively to Newcastle through innovative and creative placemaking and consultation.
To support local artists, small businesses, and independent bars and clubs. Supporting local community is a core part of why we run this business. We do not receive commission or paybacks for promoting anyone as part of our tours.
To provide a balanced and factual tour, in consultation with heritage specialists and appropriate cultural groups. We see a significant need to increase accessible information about Aboriginal heritage and culture in Newcastle.
To consider our environmental footprint in every decision we make in the running of our business.
Newcastle locals watched our streets transform over three days of 2-4 Oct 2020 as this large-scale street art festival brought world class artists to paint murals alongside local talent at the Big Picture Fest. Learn the stories of the art and how it was made on a guided street art walking tour with Newcastle Afoot.
