Newcastle United Roof Top Tour for Two
Overview
Fans of the Magpies have now got another way to enjoy the hallowed ground of St. James’ Park, as you can now take it all in from 150 ft above pitch side with this Newcastle United Stadium Rooftop Tour for Two.
The incredible views inside and around St James' Park all add up to an awesome, spine-tingling and exhilarating journey. Those on the tour will get unprecedented access and magnificent views of the city and beyond, in what in many ways is a sightseeing tour rather than a St James' Park stadium tour. That said, you do get a superb, if not distant, view of the pitch.
With binoculars in hand you can try to spot some of Newcastle’s other landmarks and sights, from the Civic Centre and Leazes Park to the north and The Baltic, The Sage and bridges Millennium and Tyne to the south, and the distant North Sea ironically to the east, there’s plenty of breathtaking sights to take in while you’re standing around way above this special city.

What happens on the day?
On arrival at St James’ Park (in good time for your pre-booked tour) you’ll sign in at reception before starting off with a short briefing on what to expect along with health and safety guidelines and a chance to see some of the famous landmarks in the briefing room. You will be given a hard hat and hi visibility-vest to wear for the duration of the tour. Binoculars will also be available. Once up on the roof two expert rooftop tour guides will provide a running commentary, at three viewing platforms, of interesting aspects of the city skyline and beyond.
Your tour will finish on pitch side so you can see a different perspective of the roof and the height you have just visited, with more great photo opportunities.

Fantastic
We were given tickets last Christmas and it was well worth the journey up from Devon. Fantastic views and very friendly tour guides. My only complaint is that I was unable to actually speak to a human at Virgin about extending the date in my tickets so we had to use them right away. There is no telephone contact and the live chat didn’t work so I had use Twitter. I wouldn’t personally use Virgin again I would go straight to the location for tickets

Brilliant tour
Had a great visit to do the rooftop tour at St James Park. Some fantastic views over Newcastle and the surrounding area with some interesting facts thrown in. Brian and Alan who guided the tour were brilliant too. Seeing the pitch from this height was great and although a bit blowy at times we felt 100% safe at all times. An added bonus of going pitchside was great too. I'd certainly do it again especially on a warm clear day!!

Fantastic experience
Definitely recommend the Rooftop Tour at St James Park. I have a fear of heights but was determined to face my fear. Our tour guide Brian, was fabulous. Pointed out all the local sights, he was very informative with plenty humour thrown in. I felt totally safe throughout the tour and very proud of myself for completing it. Definitely worth doing, the views of Newcastle were amazing

On a high
You don't need to be a football fan to enjoy the St James' roof top tour. The tour gives excellent views of the city (and beyond) from a very different perspective. Our guides Alan and Brian provided lots of information about the city landmarks and Newcastle's own Earl Grey. The tour lasted around ninety minutes and was thoroughly enjoyable. A fantastic experience.

Well Worth It
The whole tour took almost 2 hours, but went past very quickly. While on the roof you get a great view of the city and beyond with great commentary from the tour guides, giving history on some of the most well recognised features you can see from this unique vantage point. As a (long suffering) Newcastle supporter it's a nice opportunity to see the stadium from a totally different angle. I've done the stadium tour before and thoroughly enjoyed it, this one is just as good.

Great views and interesting tour
Had a great time doing the rooftop tour of NUFC. Really interesting and got some lovely photos. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and encouraging for those who were a bit worried about heights. Felt very safe at all times and wasn't as difficult as I imagined. A few stairs involved but mostly walking along flat maintenance walkways.

Fantastic experience
The views were spectacular. The guides where very friendly and knowledgable. It was great to go on the side of the pitch afterwards and look up to where we had been. Would recommend it whether a football fan or not it's a great way to see Newcastle.

This trip was an excellent trip. Well experienced and well knowledgable tour guides. The scenery was unbelievable, prob better viewing than on a match day. Would def recommend it. Apart from the rooftop tour it was good to end the trip with a trip to the players tunnel and to pitch side

View from the top
Great experience that gives a birds eye view of St James’ and Newcastle. The guides provided an interesting insight into construction, the points of interest and anecdotes of their NUFC experiences, whilst giving support for those with a fear of heights. Well done Alan and co. The only suggestion of how to improve the experience is that when the viewing points in the tour are reached, the guide takes a central position so all can hear.

NUFC Rooftop Tour
Both me and my boyfriend absolutely loved the rooftop tour! Even though we're local to the area, the sights were incredible and it was surreal to see the pitch beneath your feet! Our guide Alan was really excellent, and finishing off the tour walking out of the tunnel was something any NUFC fan would cherish!

Good tour
Would have been good but we had to cut it short due to someone being scared of heights? Why would you book such a trip??
