This 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-...

This 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.

We had a fabulous walk through Aberdeen with our guide Kristy. Very small group. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the history and present day culture of the city. Would highly recommend this tour and guide.
