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!

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.

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!

Great tour, a lovely way to see a new city. Very informative, Gabbi was an excellent and charming tour guide. Most enjoyable. Perfect walking pace even for my 83 year old mother.

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!!).
