My experience - I recently participated in the Brisbane True Crime Tour and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The tour offers a leisurely guided walk through the city's most infamous historical sites, providing fascinating insights into Brisbane's dark past. Our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging, bringing to life tales of brawlers, fraudsters, and notorious love triangles that once plagued the city. The stories were captivating, and it was evident that the guide had a deep passion for true crime history. The tour covered approximately 2 kilometers at a comfortable pace, making it accessible for most participants. Starting at the front entrance of the Brisbane City Hall in King George Square, we traversed mostly flat terrain with some stairs and a hill climb towards the end. It's advisable to wear comfortable footwear and be prepared for various weather conditions, as the tour operates rain or shine. One of the highlights was uncovering the dark secrets lurking behind historic buildings and alleyways, transforming the way I view Brisbane's city streets. The experience was both educational and entertaining, making it a great night out for locals and visitors alike. I highly recommend the Brisbane True Crime Tour to anyone interested in exploring the city's hidden past. It's an eye-opening journey that sheds light on the rich history that once reigned supreme around every corner.
