Discover the dark side of Brisbane
A really interesting and engaging way to learn more about some of the darker stories to Brisbane. Our guide was knowledgeable and open to answering any questions people had. The walk itself was pretty easy going, so would recommend to all.

An invisible tour
The tour was cancelled a few days before but we did not find out. On the day of the tour we received confirmation that all was happening, but if you trawler down under 24/7 support the notice stating cancellation was there & had been there for a week. There was no need to trawl down after seeing confirmation & receipt. Contact with them is non existant & I want a refund

A nice evening spent walking and learning.
Interesting tour and not too long. Maddy was great, able to chat with the kids on the way and very passionate about the people involved, made no judgements about the stories and made sure there were 2 sides told. A nice way to pass an evening.

Great tour - highly recommend!
Great tour of Brisbane CBD. The tour guide, India, was super knowledgeable and the stories were very interesting. Well-priced and the length at 90 minutes was perfect. Lovely tour group - 8 people in total. Received an email the morning after the tour with high-res photos of the hard copy versions shown during the tour, which was a nice touch. The nighttime tour was well-timed. Good atmosphere and the city was busy but not too noisy. Would love to do the Dark Stories tour of Fortitude Valley and other cities across Australia. Highly recommend for Brisbane locals and visitors.

Brisbane crime tour
These ghost/crime tours are totally cringy tourist things to do. That being said I goto one of these in every city I visit. And truly enjoy them. Indy was a fabulous guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about history and current events. In fact I think we will do another tonight !

Lovely night tour learning about Brisbane's past
This was a pleasant walking tour and relaxing activity for a Sunday evening. India was so knowledgeable and it was lovely to chat and learn from her as we strolled through the city.
