Considering the nature of historical walking tours – many of which involve navigating streets and potentially uneven pavements – comfortable footwear is absolutely key. Sturdy trainers or walking shoes are strongly recommended. Layers of clothing are also advisable, as Aberdeen weather can be unpredictable; a light jacket or waterproof layer will provide versatility throughout your chosen tour duration.

Given the 30-240 minute range, you might want to bring a small bottle of water and perhaps a snack if you’re opting for a longer tour. A notebook and pen could also be useful for jotting down notes or reflections on what you're seeing.
