Interesting night out - This was a really interesting night out. Sam was a knowledgeable and fun host of the tour, bringing the stories to life. I had no idea of the gruesome history of Brisbane.

Intriguing and fun - Our Guide Molly was very informative and fun. The tour was full of crimes committed in Brisbane CBD. Some of them were simply gruesome and some were tangled and intriguing webs of mystery and murder. Loved it.

Excellent guide - very knowledgeable and told the stories with respect and factuality - Our tour was excellent! Our guide was so knowledgeable and although I'm a local, I learnt so much about the history of Brisbane and events that occurred not so long ago. Considering we did a crime tour, there was a risk that the tour could glorify the people who did some terrible things but our host managed to factually tell the stories and give the victims the respect and dignity they deserved - she was excellent and I will be looking into future tours!

Interesting evening tour in Brisbane - Good way to spend an evening in Brisbane; learn some history and some stories about crimes, legends, etc.
The walking tour gives you a chance to appreciate the city's architecture. The city's buildings and their histories comes to life as you learn about Brisbane's past.

The Brisbane beneath the surface…. - Thoroughly enjoyed the excursion, Molly has knowledge and a great delivery style, fluent and detailed. I thought I knew Brisbane fairly well … but not this side of it… ! Fascinating ( and shocking!) 2 hours…Will sign up for more!

Date night with a difference - It's a Friday date night with a difference. We learned a lot about Brisbane's bloody past and found our host, Molly, to be super knowledgeable and highly engaging.
Practically, the walk was not strenuous, and there were times when one could sit down if needed.

A great evening tour with history, crime and suspense!. - I booked the tour through the Brisbane Visitor Information Centre. The Bloody Brisbane Crime tour was a great insight into Brisbane’s past history. Molly our guide gave an excellent commentary on the walk through the CBD. I would definitely recommend one of the tours if you are staying in Brisbane. They are also very reasonably priced.

Excellent 2 hours' education. - An excellent tour, hosted by Molly, who was very knowledgeable, articulate and easy to listen to. I, and thousands of others, walk past these places regularly and had no idea of their gruesome history.
