5.00We went on two walking tours, Old Aberdeen and Aberdeen City Centre, and they were both excellent. Exactly as advertised both were completely free but please give a gratuity like I did as the guys deserve it and they put everything back into researching future tours. The guides were excellent, knowledge about their two trips and very concise with the information that they gave us. They picked up on lots of little details that others might overlook. Excellent throughout.
Great historical tour
