A fabulous fun history of Brisbane! !

Published on Mar, 2024

The walking tour with Robyn was amazing! She is so knowledgeable about the city, history, stories and fun facts! The tour covered just about any area of interest you might have from art, architecture, city officials, influential women, food, street art, and more! We enjoyed her company so much! And made a new friend. Fabulous time!

Brisbane City Essentials Walking Tour

Published on Jun, 2022

Our family had a lovely walking tour of Brisbane city with Robyn as our guide. Robyn was warm, friendly and informative, and we enjoyed the history, architecture and street art (much of which we would have overlooked on our own!) which were highlighted to us along the tour. Highly recommended!

Wonderful tour.

Great tour, a lovely way to see a new city. Very informative, Gabbi was an excellent and charming tour guide. Most enjoyable. Perfect walking pace even for my 83 year old mother.

Excellent tour for history and geography of Brisbane

Published on Aug, 2020

Excellent tour. Highly recommend Lee-Ann's tour. She was so knowledgeable about so many aspects of Brisbane; its history, geography, architecture and art. She guided us through local parts that we'd never have found and gave us a real local insight. Lee-Ann and my husband (a Kiwi) had great conversations about political figures from Brisbane's past. Husband and I are both teachers and love history and geography and this tour was perfect for us. (We did tour in July 2017 but pregnancy/baby/toddler happened soon after!!).

Fabulous tour

Published on Jul, 2020

We highly recommend the walk tour with Lee-Anne! From hunting macadamias to silent appreciation of art. We all had moments of delight thanks to Lee-Anne’s ability to share her love of Brisbane.
