5.00Thank you, Kirsty, for the very interesting stories about the dark side of the city. A cold and windy day, but your stories kept us warm.
Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Kirsty did a marvellous job telling us all about the deep and dark stories & myths around Aberdeen. Very entertaining and informative. We would highly recommend this tour. It takes 1 & 1/2hrs and the time flies. Thanks Kirsty you were brilliant!!!! The Flowers Family.
