Amazing introduction to Brisbane with so much helpful information about things todo and see or places to visit for the rest of our time. Appreciated the knowledgable guide and their willingness to be flexible around our schedule.
The excursion was canceled after many hours of waiting for a confirmation. I had to check a few times and was told they would let me know when the guide was confirmed.

Your feedback is very valuable, as it helps us improve and ensure better experiences for future guests. We’re sorry we fell short in your case and appreciate you sharing your experience. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team
A good introduction to Brisbane. There were just the two of us plus Rory our guide, so we were able to go pretty much at our own pace. Rory is very knowledgeable and interesting
Quite disappointing! Our guide was simply walking by our side with no information to share. When we asked questions, she would take her phone and answer what she found on Google. After 20-25 minutes, we decided to cancel the walking tour with the guide and walk around on our own. We spent about 275$ CAN for 2 people… I have traveled to more than 60 countries and I am sorry to say this was the worst guided tour I ever booked. I hope I will be reimbursed at least.
Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We’re sincerely sorry to hear that your experience fell so far below expectations.

Please accept our deepest apologies, and we hope to have the opportunity to make this right. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team
This tour was customizable and the guide tried to take us to all the places we requested. Some were closed but he came up with great alternatives!
Max is a great guide who paces the tour to match abilities and interests. He is knowledgeable on Brisbane’s history and the people who have given it its character. The day was quite warm and he found ample shade and air conditioned buildings!
Clock tower tour in the lift & museum exhibit and store. Parkland and nearby gardens. The free ferry ride to different wharfs.
Hi Diane, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour. We're looking forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon. ;) Warm wishes, Guydeez Team
Our tour was fantastic and our guide, Daria was great! She pointed out several things to do, gave us some history of Brisbane, and walked us around in some of the locations. We also had a bit of nostalgia as Daria shared her Italian heritage with us- we lived in Naples for over three years back in the 90’s. We were great full for her knowledge and cheerful personality.
