5.00Fasinating to learn the crime in and around the Brisbane city centre. A young city with some amazing stories right in front of you

5.00Claire was friendly, knowledgeable and a well presented guide. Sharing the gruesome and chilling stories of murder, public executions and Brisbane's history. Very well organised and good communication by our guide and the company in general. So grateful they let us reschedule years after I had originally cancelled, super apprecetive of how easy they made it. Its not a scary tour but be prepared details of SA and violent crimes. Only thing that would make it slightly more immersive might be access to some of these spooky places - maybe ending the tour in one of the original cafes or telling the stories in a dark corridor. Walk was about 3km around Brisbane city. Thanks for a great tour!
Very interesting, informative and fun!

1.00Started with the unavoidable Welcome to Country dribble and went south from there on. Felt like a woke lecture at Uni as the guide had no issues in sharing her political/social views. Walk to buildings and places and shared some grainy photo prints that offered nothing else to the stories (could had been taken place in a pub with slides and a complementary drink to justify the fee).
We didn't enjoy it. The tour guide sounded like she was reading from a script. Just going through the motions. We didn't finish

1.00It was terrible. The guide sounded like she memorised a script. Terrible. She only engaged the same people on conversations
Great tour!

5.00Brilliant overview of crime in Brisbane during its darkest past. Very interesting, truly informative and the tour guide was excellent. Born in Brisbane but the CBD at night is truly beautiful and I walked down laneways I had never seen before. Well worth the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
