Amazing tour through Aberdeen's history - My parents and I had a lovely tour with our amazing guide through the city center of Aberdeen. We stopped at many different locations and heard about the interesting history of the city. Although it was a lot of information to take in, it was not overwhelming at all. You could really tell that the guide is also very interested in the city and doesn't only do it for money. I would totally recommend it to everyone who wants to get to know Aberdeen better. (I will now look out for the small figurines all over the place, but they are really hard to find.) Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!

Ghosties and ghoulies - Kirsty was our guide. She was very good. As an Aberdonian, she told me things about the city that I had not known. She had clearly done considerable research to provide us with a complete experience of the haunted history of the city. We would definitely recommend this to everybody.

Interesting and fun - Very fun and informative. Our Guide Kirsty was lovely. She was knowledgeable and kept a friendly upbeat atmosphere. I am from Aberdeen and it was interesting finding out about my own city. We went on a Saturday Evening which meant we also got a frightful sight when passing some of the local pubs so I would recommend a weekday tour to miss all that! A fun wee treat for me and my friend and we really enjoyed it and would recommend!

Great insight into the granite city - Had a great time. Thank you Kirsty. Very knowledgeable. I think everyone walked away from the experience having a greater appreciation on the history of Aberdeen. It is often overlooked and not recorded due to the oil and gas industry.
