It was a short trip, but our guide made sure we saw the best spots and had an amazing time.
Alex is a great tour guide. We only booked a 4-hour day trip, but he made sure we saw enough, and we truly enjoyed exploring Brisbane. Highly recommended 👍

Superb overview tour of Brisbane
Excellent overview tour of Brisbane. Our tour guide Ron was a great guy and very knowledgeable about Brisbane including information not restricted to the sights and stops included in the tour. Given the private nature of our tour he allowed us to tailor our time spent and the various stops to take into account our personal preferences. On-time and good communication about our pick up made for a relaxed start of our tour. I would highly recommend Ron for your tour guide needs whether it was this particular tour or others that he offers.

Well really enjoyed the personal .great guide
Adam picked us up at our apartment, took us to some lovely places outside of Brisbane City, The huge botanical gardens and the mountain view point overlooking all of Brisbane. He took us to Kangaroo point and drove us to see historical Queensland houses. He asked us if there was anywhere else we wanted to see , but we were happy with the places he took us, u asked him to re is taxi for our early flight the following day abd he kindly offered to take us , I was so grateful as I didn’t have the concern of finding a taxi company. Great time ,lovely guy.

Nice tour
We took this tour while visiting Brisbane on a cruise ship, booking through Viator. Our guide, Adam, picked us up in a very nice vehicle and took us through the City. He pointed out the major attractions as well as local areas of interest. His commentary and conversation was great. We enjoyed several stops during the tour including the Botanical Gardens and several parks/lookout areas. Adam provided good advice on how to spend our afternoon and dropped us off at the Queensland Museum at the end of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our time with Adam. My only suggestion relates to the pick up. When I booked on Viator, I selected the cruise terminal as the pickup point and paid for the tour. When I confirmed the tour a few days prior, I was advised that there was a $40 surcharge for pickup from the port. This was not indicated on Viator's tour page. I did find it on the tour company's web site. I don't know if this is an issue for Viator or the company but it should be corrected. I would note that we would have booked the tour regardless of the surcharge.

Excellent
We saw several sights and highlights in 2 1/2 hours. Our driver, Ron, was extremely flexible and willing to show us anything that was of interest to us. We recommend the tour.
