Tours with a twist in ABDN!
11 July 2017
For first time visitors, or those simply looking for more detailed local information during their stay, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have a number of guided tours available, around venues and tourist attractions. If you fancy a tour with a twist, we’ve definitely got that!
Hidden Aberdeen Tours are a great way to get to know the history (and bloody history) of our Granite City. Tours cover themes including the Murder History, Old Aberdeen Ghosts and Ghouls, Forgotten Fitte and The Old King’s Highway.
But if walking’s not your thing, how about hoping on-board a segway and whizzing around one of our most historic, and scenic, parks? Or how about getting on a bike and exploring the most amazing scenery and landscapes in Royal Deeside with CycleHighlands?
You can also get up close to our wildlife! The Glen Tanar estate safari will take you deep into the Scottish countryside to spot deer, adders, osprey, black grouse and if you look up, you might even spot a golden eagle!
Head across land towards the coast where you can take a tour around Aberdeen harbour or get out on the North Sea waters dolphin spotting with Clyde Cruises! Further along the coast, the Guide Charters & Cruises take you out to sea, wildlife spotting and giving you a new vantage point to see our picturesque fishing villages.
Many of our visitor attractions including castles, whisky distilleries and museums also offer a variety of guided tours equipping you with the full facts and local knowledge desired.
If you’re looking for a tour guide to accompany you for the entirety of you trip, we’ve got a number of blue badge tour guides and touring companies too. Just head to www.visitabdn.com/plan-your-trip/guided-tours for more information and inspiration!
