Awesome - Loads of fun history! The guide was very knowledgeable. Didn't get lucky to see anything but was still worth visiting for the stories.

Tour presenters were... - Tour presenters were knowledgeable and entertaining. It would have been nice to know that parking was in the residential area away from the start of the tour. If we had the time we would take the other tours offered by the company (trying to find a way to squeeze at least one of them in before we head home).

Temple of peace not so peaceful. - Our guide, Andrew, was the ultimate storyteller. From the moment we gathered in the dimly lit square, he had us completely enthralled with his engaging presence and dramatic flair. He expertly transported us back in time, detailing the haunting histories of the landmarks around us. Interactive experience with great discussions and beautiful view of the city. Definitely recommend and looking forward to doing the other side next!

Informative and Spooky - Informative and spooky tour through Toowong cemetery. Andrew is a fantastic guide and I learnt a lot about famous and infamous historical figures. The walk was easier than expected, as the Cemetary is steep. The time flew by, and I want to do the other tours! I enjoyed reading more about the monuments we visited in the complimentary copy of Jack Sims' book. I don't think I saw any ghosts, but definitely got spooked a few times. Andrew was also able to answer all my questions about the Cemetary, which, as a teacher, I appreciated his insight. Bonus is a magnificent view of the Brisbane city skyline!
