The tour guide was exceptional! He had some fantastic stories to tell about the history of the area and they took us around some great areas with great Christmas lights! It was definitely cold, so rug up and maybe consider bringing a blanket or even a fresh hot water bottle or something (and do not forget your thickest gloves!). Overall it was well worth the freezing temperature!

Malgré des températures glaciales, nous nous sommes installés à l'étage du bus. La vue était parfaite sur les illuminations de la ville, une vraie féerie. Notre guide a donné de nombreuses informations tant historiques que contemporaine ainsi que des anecdotes au sujet des Beatles, Bowie... tout au long de la visite. Un parcours sympa qui sort de l'ordinaire.

I was with a group of 9 and we all got onto the top deck as promised. We were very lucky with the weather in November as it was dry and not hugely cold (just felt it in the last 10 minutes) but we really enjoyed it. It was a great way to see lots of the sights in a short space of time and the Christmas lights made it really magical. The guide was also really knowledgable and funny.
