Dynamic and very informative. Great stories Useful tips. Highly recommend and absolutely worth it. The best way to maximise your time if you are on a tight schedule or the best departing point if you have the luxury of more time. Totally enjoyable even under a bit of refreshing rain. Cheryl was amazing and super friendly. She really made the experience super interesting. I'm convinced that we have learnt more about Brisbane during the three hour tour than the young locals we were visiting knew about their own city.

We both really enjoyed the tour and it was an excellent lady day in Australia. Cheryl was fantastic; warm, friendly, informative and went the extra mile. She brought Brisbane to life for us and we saw things we would never have found on our own. We saw the old and the new - terrific! Only thing that could be improved was clarity of meeting point.
