We did our tour on July 1st with Steph and it was an absolute pleasure: she is very passionate about Aberdeen and she shared places and stories we would have never discovered on our own. Steph showed us unique street art and provided insightful commentary on history of the city. The tour is well timed and well organized, it was really a great way to learn about Aberdeen in a short time. I highly recommend this tour!

My friend and I booked this tour, because we were in Aberdeen for one day and knew very little about it. We were not disappointed! Bronwyn was our guide, and we spent 2 hours learning about the city & seeing a lot of public art in the process. It's an easy tour, meaning not too strenuous for two 70 year olds to keep up with and enjoy. I snapped lots of interesting photos, and we learned enough to revisit a few select sites when the official tour ended. Highly recommend!
