Our guide, Lee-Anne met us with a cheery welcome and we began our three hour walk around Brisbane. Lee-Anne has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Brisbane, which she imparted as we walked. Part way into the tour we stopped off for a welcome coffee at a boutique coffee shop in one of Brisbane's lanes and drank coffee that was locally roasted. Walking a City with a guide is both a healthy and informative way to absorb an understanding of the history of a City. Lee-Anne Harris' cheery commentary made the walk all the more pleasurable and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the learnings. Recommended.
We had a very enjoyable and informative tour with Leanne. She made it very interesting an answered all our questions. Thank you . Brian and Lorna.
This was the first thing we did upon arriving in Brisbane so we should have a good feel for the city. Our guide was the best and we enjoyed touring with her. We covered quite a bit of the city in just a couple of hours.
What a wonderful way to spend a morning! Although I was the only person, Leanne was happy to show me a part of Brisbane through a well informed walking tour - which I duplicated for my husband in the afternoon. Thoroughly recommend this tour - a great way to find out more about Brisbane.
