Discover the story of Brisbane on this expert-led small-group walking tour, while hitting all of the city’s main attractions.
Perfect for those who have just arrived, as well as locals and those who want to go deeper in learning about Brisbane’s history, culture, society & First Nations people.
Starting from the top of Queen Street, you’ll hear about Brisbane’s colonisation by the British – and how their arrival impacted the original inhabitants.
Your guide will provide you with a range of perspectives on Brisbane’s development as you weave your way through the city. From tough penal colony origins to its more recent transformations as the city prepares to host the 2032 Olympics, you’ll discover the real Brisbane.
Your tour ends with beautiful views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge, finishing at a popular drinking spot with a small beverage included.
Walk the streets in a small group so you’re not fighting to see & hear your guide or stay on the footpath.

5.00Saskia our guide is very attentive and made sure everyone had a great experience during the walking tour around Brisbane. This is a good way to become a bit familiar with this beautiful city and it’s history. There were a few interesting things around the city that Saskia shared with the group (not gonna spoil it for others here). I also found this activity helped me become familiar with the streets around the city (first time in Brisbane), and I’ve been able to get around in a few cases without using google maps. I would highly recommend this activity.

5.00Great tour for a solo person exploring Brisbane for the first time. Saskia was great! Very engaging and personable. The tour visited some great spots I wouldn’t have found on my own. Will highly recommend.
