Fairly annoying questions
Is this a history tour?
The Dundee 2.0 Tour is about recent history. The mistakes of the 1960s and 70s and how some have been rectified in the 21st century.
The Design Museum Tour from concept to concrete and beyond. This new tour only in the month of September celebrates the 5th anniversary of the museum. It tells the story of why the V&A came to Dundee, how they built it and how it has changed Dundee.
The Dundee 3E Tour is about energy, engineering and exploration. Energy: You will discover how they move jackup drill rigs along the River Tay and how they build offshore windfarms. Engineering: The V&A Design museum has no vertical external walls, learn how engineering was used to fulfil the Kengo Kumas design. Learn how Dundee Railway station was constructed over the busy east coast mainline. Exploration: Hear about the adventures of the RRS Discovery.
How long are the tours?
The walking tour loop is about 1.5 miles or 2.4 km. However it is very flat with no steps to climb. The duration of the tours is 80 – 90 minutes.
Can I bring my dog on the tour?
No I’m afraid not due to insurance and the tour isn’t really suitable for dogs due its stop start nature.
Does the tour include entry to any of the attractions?
Unfortunately not but I’m happy to suggest free attractions in sunny Dundee.
Is this a light hearted or a serious tour?
Take a wild guess.
How do I book?
Through Eventbrite using the links above.
Where does it start?
At the V&A Sign. By the bench not actually in the reflecting pool.
What should we wear?
Dress like an onion. In layers, with warm waterproof clothing. Don’t forget comfortable footwear, hats and gloves. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
The route is lovely when the sun is out, in horizontal rain, not so much.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
