Absolutely amazing tour. Our tour guide, Hannah, was excellent and she gave us an interesting insight and experience into the Valley's True Crime past history. We found it to be like something out of a movie or the TV Underbelly series. Thoroughly recommend any of the Dark Stories Brisbane tours as this company is very professional and efficient at what they do best.

i don’t usually leave reviews but this tour was so horrendous that i made an exception. the guide did not care about what she was saying at all, a quick wikipedia search must have gone into research for this tour, that’s how basic the stories told were. some of the things she said weren’t even true - i checked on google myself! utterly lazy, uncaring delivery. i cannot believe i wasted my money on this subpar experience. there are plenty of good tourism experiences in brisbane, but this was a disgraceful money grab. you can tell it’s a company that aren’t even local and don’t actually know what they’re talking about trying to profit off the popularity of true crime. i guess this is what brisbane can expect with the upcoming olympics, companies coming in trying to make a quick and easy buck. save the money, this company so clearly do not give a stuff.

Great to be a tourist in my own town. Took an interstate mate and we both thought the stories were fascinating with the visuals helping to bring the history to life. Our tour guide knew her stuff and the performance/delivery of the stories was excellent. She included lots of small details that really added humour and interest to the characters. 100% recommend jumping on this tour with guide Jen!
