Hi and welcome to Aberdeen! I was born in Kazakhstan and spent many years living in Poland before coming to Scotland. When I arrived in Aberdeen over 20 years ago, I felt like this city will be my home. I find that Aberdeen is very different from other Scottish cities. Some see it as a grey, dull, granite built city, but for me I see it as a city full of history, character, with its own charms, traditions, and local stories. I love travelling, meeting people from different cultures, and discovering local food, and I truly enjoy sharing these passions with my guests. I would be delighted to show you Aberdeen through my own eyes and help you experience the city beyond guidebook facts. I offer walking tours of Old Aberdeen and the city centre, where we explore not only historical facts, but also local legends and stories hidden under it all. I am flexible and happy to customize tours to suit your interests and pace. I do not have my own car, but I do hold a driving license and would be happy to accompany you on journeys around Aberdeenshire and other parts of Scotland, travelling together and discovering the country as locals do.
