“Highly Recommended Walking Tour! - The tour was a wonderful introduction to Brisbane. Cheryl was very kind and knowledgeable. The tour size is small so it’s quite personalized. There was only one other couple in our group. We saw a few places we never would have found on our own and learned a lot of the history of which we would have otherwise been unaware. Would highly recommend!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-20
