The guides were very informative and I learnt a lot about the history of Brisbane. I was privileged to have two guides and I was impressed with the local knowledge. The 3 hrs went very quickly and we even found the smallest door in Brisbane.

I booked this 3 hour walking tour of Brisbane through trip advisor in advance of my visit to Brisbane for myself and my daughter . the ratings were high on trip advisor and this tour came as a trip advisor recommendation . Guy Watson runs urban tours who facilitate the tour . Guy sent up to date information about the meeting point before the tour . Guy arrived early and ensured we all had sun cream and provided his own if people didn't have any protection. Guy was very pleasant and welcoming . there were people of different nationalities on the tour and he was very inclusive to everyone . the tour itself was brilliant . 3 hours seems along time but it went very quickly ,at the 2 hour point guy produced a special local treat of lamington cake for all his walking guests ,with an explanation on how it came about in the process . the tour itself covered the whole of Brisbane central and was full of all sorts of information that you can only get from a walking tour like this , fun facts , historical facts and details you would never get just wandering around on your own . I would absolutely recommend GUY WATSON OF URBAN TOURS .

I highly recommend this 3 hour walking history tour about central Brisbane. Starting from Brisbane's Post Office built in 1872, the tour weaved it's way past many interesting old historical buildings, sites and gardens, as well as some of the modern buildings and artwork of today, each with their interesting unique tale told by Guy and otherwise lost. I have lived in Brisbane for 7 years, and did not know half of the things Guy talked about on this tour, it was very interesting learning about Brisbane's deep history and past and how that has shaped the Brisbane of today. The tour was also very reasonably priced.

Covering so much ground in the time allotted. The ANZAC memorial was most excellent. Loved the history of it. Counting the stairs and what that number 1918 meant. The number of columns and its meaning. This information really brought it to life. This was true of so many of the monuments and the info we were given. The gardens were wonderful. Enjoyed the info on the trees and birds. Guy provided a snack, Lamingtons and a GF for myself.

VALERIE_S

Guy the guide was very knowledgeable and provided a different perspective of Brisbane you would not get in any other tour. He pointed out street artwork and stories behind them. Also told us the history behind the different historic and modern buildings throughout Brisbane. He made sure we were going at a pace comfortable with everyone on the tour. I’m really happy I chose this tour!

Went on the 3 hour walking tour of Brisbane and it was everything I had hoped for. Guy was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the city and locations he took us to. Even though the weather wasn’t the best, he did everything he could to make the tour as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended if you have an available afternoon.
