Thank you to Cheryl for guiding us around to the best spots in Brisbane. We were lucky because there was only three of us ladies and it was a great getting to meet Colleen and Peggy and share half a day together. Lots of laughter and felt more of a personal experience. The best view of Brisbane is from Mt Coot-Tha Lookout and the Mt Coot-Tha Botannical Gardens are beautiful and viewed multiple water dragons. We also saw the views from Kangaroo Point and visited multiple other interesting places around Brisbane. The commentary was very informative by Cheryl who knows her stuff and also has an amazing eye for spotting Water Dragons. Thank you Cheryl for a wonderful time and looking after us.

Nice tour of Brisbane. Tourguide Cheryl was very friendly and knew a lot about Brisbane. The tour was very well taken care of with even a stop with coffee/cakes (part of the tour) at a beautiful vantage point just outside Brisbane. Special thanks to Cheryl.... she is 'simply the best'.

Guy did a fabulous job narrating our tour. We were a small group and he personalized it. Nothing felt “canned” in his commentary just friends having a chat. Well done guy.

Hi Garin and I were very privileged to have been able to go for this trip with Urban Tours . Our guide Cheryl was amazing ,as a person as well as a tour guide . For tourist , it's an amazing way of seeing Brisbane city ,in a few hours we get so much .This is because the tour guide shared her knowledge and her personal experiences..Cheryl 's bubbly, chatty cheerful nature made our group a happy ,lively and very enjoyable. I ,from New Zealand must say the Lamington sandwich was best ,better that the Kiwis!!!! I rate thus trip 5 stars and highly recommend it to those who would live to see Brisbane. Thanks for the souvenir, morning tea and the cool water bottle and cool towel after the walk. God bless Valerie Menezes
