What to expect

Experience Aberdeen through a local's eyes, discovering local history and culture on this 1.5-hour walking tour with your guide.

Find out about Aberdeen's rich history from being a small fishing settlement to the center of oil for Europe. Make your way through some of the oldest streets and tunnels, and retrace the steps of some of Aberdeen's most important figures in our (sometimes very dark) history. You'll also see the amazing street art that has overtaken Aberdeen and has become a huge part of the culture. From unassuming corners to major buildings, there’s art around every turn and your guide knows just where to find the best of the best.

Key sights: Marischal College; St Nicholas' Kirk; Netherkirkgate; Tunnels and Witch Trials; Shiprow; Union St; Amazing Aberdeen Street Art, and other hidden gems!
