Great Walk - Our guide Bronwyn was very pleasant and courteous and appreciated and understood our Australian sense of humour. Bronwyn maintained her information presentation with a very happy demeanour. We were provided with an insight into the past history of Aberdeen. We benefited from this walking tour about Aberdeen. Bronwyn's knowledge of the street art was fascinating and interesting. Really enjoyed the walking tour as you learn about the real history of the area. Cecilia and Rob
