Everything was very good from start to finish! A really good decision to book this package. Guy led us through the center along very beautiful paths and squares, told us interesting stories about the history, pointed out special features and asked us about our interests. It was a more than good exchange with Guy, he knows everything, is very attentive and humorous. If we as Germans didn't quite understand something, he explained it to us again as a matter of course. Thanks to him, we were able to get a lot of positive things out of Brisbane, which really put us off after arriving by car! Thank you Guy and Sharon!

We enjoyed the tour, probably because the season didn't start, we enjoyed a private tour. We got a lot of information, good review of the main parts, and also discover lovely hidden corners. We really recommend using Urban Tours to know the city in a brief, and we liked the care of the environment by the guide. Thank you very much

loved the class although it was only me. presumed Sip meant a glass of wine but it didn't sadly although the tea was nice. would recommend very therapeutic and calming

The course is recommended. It was fun. I would do it again anytime.
