Overview

Explore the historic port city of Aberdeen and discover its hidden gems among the towering granite buildings and neo-gothic architecture. Find modern street art around unassuming corners, and find the city’s tunnels that form a maze underneath the streets. Learn about the witch trials that went on here in the 1500s-1600s, and see the old town where the city began as a tiny fishing village.

Lovely Tour

Lovely Tour through New Aberdeen! Had lots of fun! We were a small group so it was easy to ask questions and to fit the tour to our needs!

Had better

Fairly good tour, it felt very scripted. A lot of focus on finding small artistic figures hidden on buildings, would rather have learnt more on the history of the city.

Amazing tour through Aberdeen's history

Selina_H, Nov 2024

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!

Very enjoyable walking tour
