A great overview tour to help you appreciate Aberdeen

5.00This was a wonderful tour of Aberdeen as seen through the eyes of someone who was not born there but has come to love the city and calls it home. Angelika does not have a Scottish brogue but she has taken the time to learn the history of Aberdeen and is keen to give you an experience you will enjoy. She showed us things that we would never have found on our own. Her use of old photographs to supplement her stories was a novel approach. And if she did not know something she was quick to find the answer. We truly appreciated the time we spent with her in this tour. It gave us an over view, which helped us appreciate Aberdeen even more!
