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.

Aberdeen city walk

Michael_D, Sept 2025

We had a fabulous walk through Aberdeen with our guide Kristy. Very small group. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the history and present day culture of the city. Would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Conrad was a great tour guide. We were impressed with his knowledge and passion for history and art. The tour was a good mix of cultural and historical anecdotes. He also offered great tips for our adult daughter who is relocating for a masters program in Aberdeen. Highly recommend.

I have been on Trip Advisor walking tours in Paris, Amsterdam, Edinburgh and Manchester. All were excellent. This one was the best.
