Review of Brisbane’s 3-hour small-group walking tour, covering history, First Nations culture, city sights, local treats, and a riverfront drink.

“My tour was very good. Nicole was enthusiastic, friendly and engaging, immediately putting everyone at ease. She was knowledgeable about the areas we walked through and offered other activities we could participate in those areas , like the city markets which only locals would know. She was not rigid about time but allowed us to make the odd purchase and introduced us to Noosa chocolate by buying us a treat. The walk was unhurried and finished at a lovely bar overlooking the river. I would highly recommend the tour.”
