We walked and saw different aspects of Brisbane we never would have seen. Entertaining and educational!
Matt was an absolutely fantastic tour guide — friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and so easy to listen to. He shared so much interesting history and information, and his passion really made the tour even more enjoyable.
I genuinely enjoyed every part of the experience and learned so much along the way. Thank you, Matt, for making the tour so memorable! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting. It was absolutely worth it!
Our guide, Matt, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer every question. He explained everything in a very interesting and easy way, so the history and stories became alive.
A very special detail was the small gifts he gave us during the tour. They made the experience even more personal and helped us remember what we learned. It was such a thoughtful idea and made the tour even more enjoyable.
I can highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits Brisbane. If you want to learn about the history of the city in a fun and interesting way, this tour is the perfect choice. Thank you, Matt, for this fantastic experience!
The tour guide was amazing and had such great info and quirky facts about the city
Best tour we have ever been on
The pace was perfect, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation of Brisbane, even though we have lived here all our lives. Whether you're visiting for the first time or have lived here for years, we'd highly recommend this tour. Thanks, Matt, for making it such a memorable experience!
Guy has lived in different places and what I enjoyed most was the comparison to other places and his responses to my questions. If you would just like to be learn about the city, Guy is your guy. If you would like to compare Brisbane to another city in another country yo relocate, Guy is yet again, your guy.
I definitely enjoyed the tea break. It was good to take in the view, reflect and hear a bit more about the birds in Brisbane.
It is important to note that Guy doesn't cancel the tour if you are the only ones there. The other folks cancelled because they were sick today but Guy was happy to take us on the tour. Lovely guy.
We definitely loved the water at the end of the bus tour. It is always great to see people supporting local businesses.
We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Brisbane. Doing it early on in your stay will give numerous tips on what do do and where to eat during the rest of your stay.
Took us atop a skyscraper at sunset and had a special treat after discussing Lamington’s just outside their point of origin.
Excellent way to see the highlights in the city, with an informed and informal guide in Guy. Clearly loves his city and shares that enthusiasm with guests. Great central pick up point made the tour easy to join and vehicle was comfortable for the size of party.
Lots top see including the wildlife in the gardens, some great views, and a coffee and Gluten free cake for me, so couldn't ask for better. Also seeing the Bluey pavilion will give you great kudos with grandkids when you get home.
All in all a great trip and a way to learn a lot about a fascinating city in a convivial atmosphere. Happily recommend to all.
Lots of interest.
Great tour guide Guy
Highly recommend this tour
Our guide Cheryl was great. Arrived on time and gave us interesting commentary throughout.
The stop locations were good and the drive between each one gave us a good flavour of Brisbane in four hours or so.
It was just right for us 70/72 year olds!
Highly recommended.
This was really great value and such an easy way to see the city. We were able to see a ton of highlights quickly and comfortably (AC in bus, comfy seats) without feeling rushed. The company was very professional, pickup was right on time, and everything felt really well organized.
Cheryl, our guide, was fantastic! She’s a safe driver, very knowledgeable about both the history and what’s currently happening in the city. She kept things fun with lots of great little fun facts and kept us laughing and entertained without info overload. She also gave excellent local recommendations. I was especially impressed with how well she connected with guests who were non-native English speakers. She made sure everyone felt included and understood everything, which was handled in a way that didn’t make the English portion feel rushed or cut short.
The bus tour was perfect for a hot day, or anyone preferring to keep walking to a minimum. The snack at the lookout was delicious (I had the orange almond slice) and came at the perfect time to hold us over until lunch. There were also really nice touches like the cold towel and locally sourced water bottle.
Private tour to lone pine sanctuary was exceptional. The venue its self is wonderful - sooo many koalas, kangaroo feeding, dingoes and a platypus! Adding a private tour wired urban tours made everything so easy as far as transportation and ensuring I didn’t miss anything.
Overall it felt like an excellent and way to experience Brisbane on a shorter time budget, and adding the private Lone Pine portion was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend Urban Tours Brisbane!
We visited many major tourist sites around Brisbane. Well worth doing oh and we saw a Goanna wandering in the gardens, a special treat.
Our guide Cheryl was knowledgeable and clearly loved the City and enjoyed showing us around her adopted home town.
Our group included access needs and this was dealt with efficiently and we were able to adapt when broken lifts got in the way.
There were treats too along the way, which were much appreciated!
Tour instructions were clear and sent in good time.
Highly recommend!
The mini bus was clean and comfortable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Brisbane’s highlights in a short amount of time. Overall, an amazing experience!
