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!
Despite the delayed start, he generously extended the tour and made sure we still covered most of the key highlights. Matt was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about Brisbane, sharing engaging stories and insights throughout the walk.
His flexibility, professionalism, and commitment to making sure we had a great experience truly stood out. Highly recommend this tour and especially Matt to anyone visiting Brisbane!
The small group size made it very enjoyable.
Our tour guide, Gau (sorry if I got the name wrong!), was fantastic. He gave us lots of information about Brisbane, helped us take plenty of photos, and even recommended places to visit after the tour.
My mom and I were really satisfied and had a wonderful time in Brisbane. I truly appreciate the experience and strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
Guy our driver and leader was knowledgeable, friendly and respectful of his clients needs. WOW the lamington we had at Mt Coot-tha lookout cafe was the best and freshest that I have ever had. That is from an Australia who has had many. I would very much recommend this tour of Brisbane and its best sites.
Just needs to demo her Irish jig!! 😂

P.s We enjoyed meeting the other tourists in our group, it’s a great way to meet people.
So many hidden secrets.
brings this city alive!
What truly set Matt apart was his engaging and entertaining style. He even had some surprises up his sleeve toward the end, which added a fun twist to the experience. Coincidentally, I had crossed paths with him the day before when I asked for directions on the ferry, it was a wonderful surprise to see him as my guide the next day!
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, I highly recommend booking a tour with Matt. His expertise, personable nature, and knack for making every detail interesting made this one of the most enjoyable walking tours I’ve ever been on.
