Top Aberdeen Day Trips

It was a lovely trip, Alan (or Allan?) our tour guide was a gem, entertaining us during the ride with little anecdotes and interesting (fun)facts and took really good care of us ♥ (And it seemed he really cared not just doing his job). He stopped at interesting spots (quite a lot of them like Carr-Bridge, Caledonian Battlefield, some impressive viaduct, Balnuaran of Clava, Craigellachie Bridge and more, even to pat Dougal and Hamish (2 highland cows - what sweeties). The boat ride on Loch Ness was also very nice especially because we were really lucky with the weather. Nessi though wasn't spotted :-). Unfortunately there isn't really enough time to explore more on your own but if you want that, you have to rent a car and do it on your own. All in all a very nice day out! Only minor "complain": Alan (or Allan - sorry that I can`t remember), please expand your playlist :-). I really do love the idea behind it, but hearing 500 miles 5 times is too much. It`s still in my head :-). Thanks for a great day!

Alex was very personable and informative. Loved that there were only 7 people on the tour and we definitely drove places that I’d never trust myself to drive to! Beautiful photo stops! I would have preferred to stop somewhere else than Peterhead for lunch. The town has definitely seen better times. I loved all the other stops/drives. Seeing hundreds of seals at Newburgh Beach was a great ending! And thanks to Alex for the dinner recommendation at The Globe! It was a perfect end to a fun day!

This was one of the best tours we could have asked for. Calum was the most amazing guide. He was so engaging and personable, and the whole day was like a private tour. His knowledge of different industries was very impressive. Calum grew up in Aberdeenshire, and you could tell how much he loves his home. Even though Balmoral is currently closed, Calum improvised perfectly and showed us two other castles. This tour was beyond doubt the highlight of our whole trip.
