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.

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!

Thank you for your lovely review of your recent Walk Brisbane City Essentials tour. I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring Brisbnae with Robyn as your guide. You are so right, you would have quite possibly overlooked many of the things Robyn was able to show if you were on your own. When you only have a short period of time a guide who knows our city so well is invaluable.
Take care,
Lee-Anne

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

Hi Bev
Thank you for your lovely review of your tour with Jess. It's great to hear that the tour helped you during the rest of your time in Brisbane, especially seeing this was your first visit. Currently we are all living through COVID-19, and we hope that you are well and that when this is all over you might be able to come back again.
Take care

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.

Hi Jenny
Thanks for your review of your City Essentials tour on the weekend. It was great to meet you all and I am glad you enjoyed the tour - I did too; it was lovely to be able to show you the city. I also hope you enjoyed the other things you had planned, particularly your Saturday night restaurant!
I see it has been raining quite a lot where you live, and trust that all is well and that you are staying dry.
Take care,
Lee-Anne

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.

Spent the morning with Lee-Anne and Jess. Knowledgeable and friendly guides. Learned a lot about Brisbane and Australia. Any question I threw at them was not a problem. Wish I had time to do the Laneways tour. Highly recommend!💖

Hi Kate,
Thanks for your very kind review. I'm glad we were able to answer the questions you posed to us. Of course, there is always something to learn, but we are pretty confident we know Brisbane very well! It was also great that you did find time to come on our Laneways and Cafes tour; we had a fun afternoon with you then also.
Take care

Recently took part in this guided walk and was blown away with level of local knowledge. Initially doing the gallery style walk. Loved it so much we went back and did the cafe and bar tours.
I wish every major city had fun guided tours like this. Love love loved it.

It was a great experience and well worth taking this tour with Ariana. It was just three of us with her as the guide. She is a tremendous source of information on a fairly leisurely walk through the city. She gave information with great historical context and pointed out most of the interesting places. She also had a good pieces of advise on places to eat and visit.

We stayed in Brisbane four days and like the first tour so much we did a second and were lucky enough to get the same guide both times. The city tour was a good combination of historical and recent events, city sculptures and beautiful gardens. We were lucky to have a nice group of people from different countries.
We took the recommendation to take the free red boat to the south bank beach afterwards and did this every day after. The second tour was lanes and cafes and our only complaint was that there was too much food! We loved the lamington and the story behind it. Fun but relaxing too.

Wheelchair friendly?

I do’t think so. It is very long walk with some hills. I do not recall curb cuts. I would contact the company. They seem pretty flexible and might create a walk that is wheel chair accessible. We were the only ones on our walk and they adapted to our interest.

Hi I'm not sure how it compares to free tours on offer but my partner and I did it at Easter and thoroughly enjoyed it, undertaken at a good pace and we discovered so many things we would never have discovered on our own, we would have no hesitation in taking another tour with this company next time we visit Brisbane
