A fabulous fun history of Brisbane! ! - The walking tour with Robyn was amazing! She is so knowledgeable about the city, history, stories and fun facts! The tour covered just about any area of interest you might have from art, architecture, city officials, influential women, food, street art, and more! We enjoyed her company so much! And made a new friend. Fabulous time!

Brisbane City Essentials Walking Tour - Our family had a lovely walking tour of Brisbane city with Robyn as our guide. Robyn was warm, friendly and informative, and we enjoyed the history, architecture and street art (much of which we would have overlooked on our own!) which were highlighted to us along the tour. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour for history and geography of Brisbane - Excellent tour. Highly recommend Lee-Ann's tour. She was so knowledgeable about so many aspects of Brisbane; its history, geography, architecture and art. She guided us through local parts that we'd never have found and gave us a real local insight. Lee-Ann and my husband (a Kiwi) had great conversations about political figures from Brisbane's past. Husband and I are both teachers and love history and geography and this tour was perfect for us. (We did tour in July 2017 but pregnancy/baby/toddler happened soon after!!).

Fabulous tour - We highly recommend the walk tour with Lee-Anne! From hunting macadamias to silent appreciation of art. We all had moments of delight thanks to Lee-Anne’s ability to share her love of Brisbane.

Brisbane City Essentials Walking Tour with tour guide Jess - I would highly recommend this 3 hour tour. It was a really informative walk around the city seeing historic buildings and the new developments. Jess was an excellent guide and we learned so much about the history of the city.
It was our first visit to Brisbane and it helped us to get our bearings for the remainder of our stay.
If you are visiting for the first time it is a "must do" tour

Learn all about old, new and emerging BRISBANE - What a wonderful way to learn about both the history and the current development of Brisbane. Our guide Lee-Anne was knowledgeable, warm and friendly. Even though we only live an hour away and have visited Brisbane often she taught us a lot. Loved discovering ‘Blu Art Xinja’, exploring the heritage buildings, Queens Wharf project and much more. Whether you are new to Brisbane or a local this tour has something new for everyone.

Brisbane City Essentials Walking Tour with tour guide Gabbi - 3 hour guided City Essentials tour with Gabbi. This was a fantastic, value for money tour and I would thoroughly recommend, especially to first time Brisbane visitors at the start of your visit to help you get your bearings. Gabbi was excellent – she made the tour very interesting, was very pleasant and answered any questions we had.

Fabulous Tour - We highly recommend this very interesting tour of inner Brisbane. Lee-Anne shared her knowledge of the history and stories of the city. She effortlessly identified our interests and personalised the tour to highlight areas of particular relevance to us. We had a fabulous time which included discovering many hidden gems and enjoyed a great coffee on this tour.

Total ripoff - The worst value tour in Brisbane! Nearly 300 AUD for a short stroll around the most obvious landmarks ending up at a tourist trap restaurant. Bypasses Anzac Square, Tower Mill, and many truly significant points of interest.
