Our tour guide was very informative and all around nice guy. The wind was harsh but if you wear a scarf to cover your face and wear gloves it is fine. I wore fingerless gloves so I could use my camera and it was fine for me. If you have low blood sugar or diabetic, definitely bring something with you because you will burn calories with the walk and the cold.
