Interesting content - I thought the content was extremely interesting. I enjoyed the length of the stories and the resources provided after the tour so we could look deeper into the cases if we want.

Great date night 😁 - Wonderful idea for a date night . We were guided around Brisbane by a knowledgeable young lady that bought the true crime stories to life. It was surprising to hear the gory history of the CBD.

Really cool - We had Hannah as our tour guide. She was amazing! It was a really awesome tour she was so knowledgable and a great story teller. Interesting to hear the stories while standing in the same area the crimes happened. She also did disclaimers before showing images to ensure everyone felt comfortable.
I would recommend!

Good…. - I really enjoyed the tour, love true crime. Would have love for the lady to slow down and not start talking until everyone’s gathered and talk so everyone in the group could hear

Nice Evening Activity - It was an interesting tour with some very good history. Covered a nice circle around town, saw some great sites and learned some dark history. Nice way to get out and see the city for a first timer with a few caveats. The tour will end in the dark, not where you began. I say that because we got turned around and figuring out how to get home took another 30 minutes, making it a 10k night, and our guide, while lovely. could not give us any assistance with the way home when we asked. All in all, it was a fine tour but not five star.

Good night out! - India did a great job keeping us on track with the time, and giving us a not TOO dark history of Brisbane. Saw a big part of the city from the river up to Spring Hill (yes, it’s a long hill up Edward St, but not too many actual stairs). All new stories to long term residents of Brisbane, and saw some alleyways we had never set foot in. We have a list of bars and restaurants we haven’t noticed before that we would like to try now! Fresh view of our home town, and an interesting introduction to it for our overseas visitor.

Could e better! - The tour got off to a good start. Our guide knew the subject matter and engagingly told stories. However, the tour needs filler content to keep the walks between sites interesting. The tour deteriorated after a few stops. Our guide did not engage all participants but chatted with friends of hers who were taking the tour. The biggest problem was when the tour ended at the windmill, the guide and her friends stated - "let's go drink" and walked off without telling others how to get back to the starting point. In all fairness when she was stopped she did share the necessary info. The tour needs to end in a safe lighted area - if for no other reason than safety.

Disappointed - Very disappointed, didn’t think our guide engaged with us very well. It was a very hot evening & she rushed us from one location to the next finishing the tour over 20 minutes early.
It had the potential to be very interesting but unfortunately it was not.
