Thank you Maddie for a great tour - Our guide, Maddie, was very energetic, knowledgeable, and fun to listen to. It was a great way to walk through Brisbane in the evening and learn more about the town.

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.

Something different after the sights and you find some hidden gems - Good story telling from our Guide. Interesting history of Brisbane woven into the stories. Walked around some of the city that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

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.

More animation/enthusiasm from the Tour Guide is needed - The stories were interesting, but the tour guide was not entertaining or engaging, which was disappointing. A more animated and enthusiastic tour guide would have made this experience far better.

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.
