Kirsty was our guide. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable and friendly and fun to spend the afternoon with. As a visitor from the US, I really enjoyed having thoughtful conversations with Kirsty about Scottish economics and history and how they played a part in the sites that we saw. We covered a lot of ground and we got an excellent overview of both past and present of Aberdeen. This tour really helped us know Aberdeen.
Short and sweet

John was punctual, friendly and very knowledgable. Pace was good and there was plenty of time to ask questions.

Nice way to update Aberdeen when you haven't been here before. The city is a little gray and then it helped well to get shown a little around. Here you will also learn a lot of local history. John is a skilled and educational guide who knows the city well.
