ABERDEEN WALKING TOURS

We were shown round by Dave, an Aberdonian who knew his city and clearly loved it. The walk took in the old and the new as well as some unfathomable planning decisions! It was just the right length and has made us want to come back and visit the various museums as well as Old Aberdeen. Dave had an interesting anecdote or memory at each stop as well as a few words in Doric to liven things up. I would recommend these tours as a great way to get to know Aberdeen and I’m only sorry we didn’t get to spend longer there.

Brilliant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It completely transformed my first impressions of the city. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, skillfully blending distant history with current events and culture to create a well rounded picture of Aberdeen and its people.

Only a small group of five people on the tour, with tour guide Willow who was entertaining and very informative, able to answer everyone’s questions. The tour took 90 minutes, a nice mix, for us anyway, of history of the city and some street art installations that you wouldn’t necessarily notice. Absolutely flew by. I’d recommend it.

The guide, Steph, was engaging, knowledgeable, and has a wonderful sense of humor. She shared a delightful mix of information and stories about Aberdeen’s history, architecture and art, especially street art, with an emphasis on “Nuart.” The time with Steph was well spent and memorable. So glad I got to meet her and see Aberdeen with her.
