the ratings were high on trip advisor and this tour came as a trip advisor recommendation .
Guy Watson runs urban tours who facilitate the tour .
Guy sent up to date information about the meeting point before the tour .
Guy arrived early and ensured we all had sun cream and provided his own if people didn't have any protection.
Guy was very pleasant and welcoming .
there were people of different nationalities on the tour and he was very inclusive to everyone .
the tour itself was brilliant .
3 hours seems along time but it went very quickly ,at the 2 hour point guy produced a special local treat of lamington cake for all his walking guests ,with an explanation on how it came about in the process .
the tour itself covered the whole of Brisbane central and was full of all sorts of information that you can only get from a walking tour like this , fun facts , historical facts and details you would never get just wandering around on your own .
I would absolutely recommend GUY WATSON OF URBAN TOURS .

What a Guy! :) We were not sure what to expect as it was our first walking tour and also because we had already walked the streets of the city for a couple of days by the time of our walking tour. However, this tour turned out to be the highlight of our entire stay in Brisbane because not only Guy was very knowledgeable and compassionate, but also very kind and attentive to our interests. His timing was superb as he dished out trivia one after another which had us hooked to him from start to finish and he kept us glued to him with what was coming next. He even got us little Lamington cakes to eat and also little souvenir for each of us which makes it a hard one to beat. We did another walking tour in another city after this tour but I think Guy has left the bar pretty high. Thank you Guy for the amazing experience!

On my first visit to Brisbane, I had a most interesting and informative walking tour with Guy. I learned a lot and saw a lot in three hours. Guy was so knowledgeable about the city. He showed us a lot of things we would have never seen on our own. Also told us a lot of interesting facts about the city and what we were seeing.
