I booked this experience for my team to get a flavour for what Brisbane's CBD has to offer and learn a bit more about its past. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! It was a fabulous experience!
Our guide, Caelen, was a wealth of knowledge! He had a story for everywhere we pointed and a masterful way of telling the stories! He deftly and sensitively read the group as he told some of the more disturbing elements of history. He also set a wonderful pace for the day that accommodated the different fitness level in our tour.
The tour was constructed well, was well paced and as we were a private group booking was flexible to where we had to start and finish. I particularly enjoyed the segmenting of the history from Brisbane's Wartime growth and maturation, its colonial past and the history of the Aboriginal people in the area (Originally known as Meanjin).
Another advantage of booking privately is we got a taste from another tour offered by Fit City of the more macabre elements of Brisbane's past (I think it was called "Bloody Brisbane" but don't quote me). Caelen dropped a few of those stories and tales in our tour seeing our fascination with these kind of stories.
As a team bonding exercise and way of getting a deeper appreciation for Brisbane I can not recommend this highly enough! It was FANTASTIC!
