An informative enjoyable 3 hours - Covering so much ground in the time allotted. The ANZAC memorial was most excellent. Loved the history of it. Counting the stairs and what that number 1918 meant. The number of columns and its meaning. This information really brought it to life. This was true of so many of the monuments and the info we were given. The gardens were wonderful. Enjoyed the info on the trees and birds. Guy provided a snack, Lamingtons and a GF for myself.

Great Walking Tour of Brisbane! - Guy the guide was very knowledgeable and provided a different perspective of Brisbane you would not get in any other tour. He pointed out street artwork and stories behind them. Also told us the history behind the different historic and modern buildings throughout Brisbane. He made sure we were going at a pace comfortable with everyone on the tour. I’m really happy I chose this tour!

Great afternoon in Brisbane - Went on the 3 hour walking tour of Brisbane and it was everything I had hoped for. Guy was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the city and locations he took us to. Even though the weather wasn’t the best, he did everything he could to make the tour as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended if you have an available afternoon.

Amazing city and amazing tour guide! - Super amazing experience! Very hot day but tour guide made sure to find us cool shaded spots to stand in and water fountains to drink from, all while he very carefully explained the history of significant parts of Brisbane. Truly a delightful experience with the enjoyment of Lamingtons! Even gave me food recommendations for later on and pointed out some really cool hidden public art. Such an amazing city to tour with a fabulous tour guide!
