Very impressive - Claire was a fantastic guide - They were personable, informative, respectful and considerate. Myself and my partner were both absolutely astonished to find out this was Claire’s first tour. She will definitely be an asset to your tours company.

An enlightening dark side of Brisbane - Incredible interesting stories of crimes (specifically the darker ones, murder) in downtown Brisbane from the 19th and 20th centuries. The tour guide India (not the country) did a wonderful job describing the criminal events and the resulting punishment. Very good at taking questions too. She also had a book with pictures and sketches for the stories which added more to realism of the characters. The pace is relatively easy. Some uphill walks but short distances. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, crime & punishments or just want to hear some dark stories from the past.

Great tour for crime lovers - Knowledgeable and engaging guide with interesting stories and photos too. Good way to spend an evening around the city. Approx 2-3km walking but the guide went at an appropriate pace and kept us all together as a group.
