I’ve done many walking tours around the world so I was excited to try one in my home town of Brisbane.
What a disappointment.
Our “tour guide” had limited knowledge or storytelling ability but did enjoy sharing her political views with her incredibly hard to understand semi-American accent. Surely it’s not hard to find an actual local to conduct these tours?
She shared some vaguely interesting stories but with limited-to-no surrounding context. She has a folder of badly printed photographs to show but that’s about it. These stories can be shared and bought to life by a good guide but this guide was just regurgitating some basic stories without any personality or intonation in her delivery.
Her historical knowledge as we as her general knowledge of Brisbane was very poor and her conversation limited to anecdotes from past visitors on the tour.
One of the other guests asked 3 times “What’s that building” and the guide just kept replying “The Services Club”. A quick google search revealed it to be an important historical building known as the “The United Services Club of Queensland”.
Brisbane can do better than this and I hope in the lead up to the Olympics there might be some consideration of a tour guide accreditation scheme so individuals like this and the companies who hire them are weeded out.
I would encourage you elsewhere for a walking tour, true crime or otherwise

As a local, great to get a better understanding of the city I call home, and a wonderful opportunity to see the city in a unique and interesting way.

Good story telling from our Guide. Interesting history of Brisbane woven into the stories. Walked around some of the city that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

The stories were interesting, but the tour guide was not entertaining or engaging, which was disappointing. A more animated and enthusiastic tour guide would have made this experience far better.

Our guide, Maddie, was very energetic, knowledgeable, and fun to listen to. It was a great way to walk through Brisbane in the evening and learn more about the town.

I really enjoyed the tour, love true crime. Would have love for the lady to slow down and not start talking until everyone’s gathered and talk so everyone in the group could hear

I thought the content was extremely interesting. I enjoyed the length of the stories and the resources provided after the tour so we could look deeper into the cases if we want.

Great tour and a knowledgeable guide, whom tells the stories very well. It’s a convenient tour if visiting the King George area.

It was an interesting tour with some very good history. Covered a nice circle around town, saw some great sites and learned some dark history. Nice way to get out and see the city for a first timer with a few caveats. The tour will end in the dark, not where you began. I say that because we got turned around and figuring out how to get home took another 30 minutes, making it a 10k night, and our guide, while lovely. could not give us any assistance with the way home when we asked. All in all, it was a fine tour but not five star.

Wonderful idea for a date night . We were guided around Brisbane by a knowledgeable young lady that bought the true crime stories to life. It was surprising to hear the gory history of the CBD.
