5.00This tour was great! The guide was lovely, she was born and raised in Aberdeen and she clearly had a lot of knowledge to share. She did a fantastic job at pointing out things and sharing fun stories to go along with the sights. It was a wonderful time getting to walk around, laugh at some fun facts, and get to see multiple sights around the city.
Loved the walking tour-...

5.00This was a very informative tour of the "new" city. There was a good mix of the modern art scene in Aberdeen and the history of the city from the rise and fall of the granite, fishing, and oil industry. It is a plus that the tour ends outside an outstanding pub. If you are in Aberdeen, I suggest a Royal Deeside tour of the various castles and henges. If you are looking for an old Aberdeen city tour you need to search elsewhere because the old city is a 40-minute walk from this tour site.
