Discover Brisbane by Land and by River – Private tour

Brisbane is considered one of the largest cities in the world in terms of size but is a modest and walkable city of 2 million inhabitants. Brisbane was named after the river that bathes the entire city. The modern buildings and express boulevards represent the city's rapid development over the years and it´s eclectic diversity. Beautiful Brisbane is famous for its parks and leisure areas, where you can spend time with family and friends. A local typically Australian custom is to use these spaces to have an outdoor barbecue or to just relax and watch the world go by. Our specialist will wait at your centrally located hotel to begin the walking tour of the city's most intriguing attractions. We'll first pass the old windmill and the historic Brisbane Arcade with its beautiful Victorian-era architecture. We will next visit King George Square and see Brisbane's second city hall. On the way to the older Queensland Treasury Building (now Treasury Casino), we will stroll through Brisbane's oldest alleyway to learn about the past of Brisbane's convicts who gave rise to this amazing city. We'll also get a glimpse of Brisbane's emerging street art scene. Next, we will head to the City Botanic Gardens, located in the southeast of the Brisbane River Peninsula, home to Brisbane's Central Business District. And we will pass The Wheel of Brisbane, which is 60 meters (almost 200 feet) high and was erected in 2008 at the northern entrance to South Bank Parklands. We will continue passing by the Queensland Parliament House and learn a little about the building's unique history. Arriving at Reddacliff Place, you will arrive in one of the original settlement places of Brisbane and learn a little more about its fascinating history. Your local expert will next lead you to the river boat guide allowing you to enjoy an amazing one hour cruise up and down the Brisbane River. Here you will sit back and relax as you leisurely cruise along Brisbane's calm waterways, taking in the beautiful views of the city and surrounding suburbs. Enjoy the sights including the surrounding City Riverside, Kangaroo Point, The Story Bridge, The Powerhouse, and other historic famous landmarks.

A fantastic river cruise, with lots of information about Brisbane and things you could see along the river. Snacks provided were good and the lunch option was fantastic! We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the breakfast creek hotel. we both had the steak, which was beautiful. would highly recommend this tour, excellent value for money!

Overall the trip was very good. Good views and guiding. Some direction boards to the location from uber drop point will be helpful for tourists as it takes some time to reach the boarding point.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise - punctual, friendly staff, and we enjoyed the lunch at Breakfast Creek Hotel. Met lovely people to share the day with. Would recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour of a beautiful city at night. Matt was knowledgeable, patient and overall a super guide. We loved it - thank you.

Perhaps, give a little more information on the various landmarks & buildings we passed
