Brilliant tour of Aberdeen - Kirsty was brilliant - entertaining, interesting, knowledgeable and informative - and very willing to take questions - and very honest when she thought some of the history was more legend than truth!!! Such a great tour!! Thank you

Lovely walking tour - Bronwyn was well-organized with lots of interesting info about Aberdeen. It was just right for a manageable tour without overloading with details. And any time I had a question, she had the answer.

Highly recommended! - We had a wonderful time during our walking tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We were able to see many different sites that we wouldn’t have visited on our own. Thank you for a lovely time!

Time Well Spent! - Kirsty was our guide, and we appreciated her academic credentials, but also her easy, straight forward explanations of the sights in Aberdeen. She was very conscientious about making sure no one our group of 7 fell behind. We would have never learned how interesting a city Aberdeen is without her, as there are very few historical or points-of-interest placards around to explain. Oh, and she was right about the best ice cream in town!
