    Guided tour through...

    Betty_K, Mar 2026
    Guided tour through Aberdeen near Union Street.enjoyed hearing about the history and saw parts of Aberdeen we would not have seen on our own.

    A great introduction to the city of Aberdeen.

    It was a nice introducion to Aberdeen. I flew in from the states and after getting settled in my hotel I took off with my audio set up. I discovered who the important players were in Scottish History which was a great background for the rest of my stay. I had trouble finding the code, but the company was super responsive and got back to me right away.

    Tour at my own speed.

    I’m a slow walker so was afraid of taking a walking tour that I would have to struggle to keep up with the group. I was able to do this tour at my own speed and really enjoy. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided historical background information on all the sites we were viewing.

    Great Value

    A great way to learn about Aberdeen. It was informative and entertaining and did a reasonable job of keeping you on the right path.

    Cute little stories with an easy to follow guide.

    I enjoyed this audio tour. It had cute little stories that you probably wouldnt find out other ways and was very easy to follow. There is some construction work going on at the moment which meant I needed to jump the tour myself as it didnt know my location, but that was the only glitch and not their fault :) Plan to do some more of their audio tours.
