5.00We arrived early but the guide, Kirsty, was already there waiting! We were joined by one other person and the tour started on time. Kirsty was very knowledgeable and chatted confidently about Aberdeen and the area. She encouraged questions and was able to answer most of them. If she wasn't sure she said so! We really enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone wishing to get to know more about Aberdeen!

5.00Ignore all the negatives reviews. Just spent two days in Aberdeen and believe me it's a lot nicer than the most of the rest of Scotland, people really don't realise how good they have it in Aberdeen. I come from central Scotland and if you don't live in Glasgow or Edinburgh the rest of Scotland is on decline I'm afraid in a big way! Ok Aberdeen dose not have hussel and bussel of Glasgow or Edinburgh but it's still really nice city with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to visit. It also doesn't have that really busy feel of Glasgow which I actually prefer. And Edinburgh is a wash with tourists which I actually dong really like. So definitely check out Aberdeen if you are in that area
Interesting guide
