April to October

If you're new to walking tours, Newport offers a fantastic introduction to this popular activity. We have 16 different tours available, each offering a unique perspective on the city and catering to a wide range of interests and budgets. The average rating across all tours is 4.3 out of 5 – a testament to the quality experiences offered – but prices vary considerably, from £7 to a premium of £245.

When choosing your first tour, it’s worth considering what kind of experience you're after. Many tours are shared experiences, offering a more sociable and often economical option. However, for a truly personalised journey, private tours like the ‘Private Downtown Newport Walking Tour’, which currently holds a perfect 5.0/5 rating based on just four reviews at £245, represent a significant investment but offer dedicated attention and flexibility. The duration of tours also differs greatly, ranging from a brief 55 minutes to an immersive 195 minutes – think about how much time you’d like to dedicate to exploring.

The price range reflects these differences in scale and exclusivity. Shorter, shared tours will be at the lower end, while longer, private experiences are naturally more expensive. Comparing tours based on duration alongside price is a smart move; you might find that a slightly longer shared tour offers better value for money than a shorter, premium option.

Don’t worry if you're unsure where to start! We encourage you to browse the available options carefully and read reviews (when available) to get a sense of what each tour focuses on. Ultimately, we believe Newport has something to offer every walker, and we’re confident you’ll find a fantastic tour to suit your interests and time constraints.
