Walking tour - Great way to see the city. Tom was very knowledgeable and entertaining with his stories. If we were staying longer in the city we would definitely go on another of his tours. (Bar tour was mentioned a few times.

Very welcoming introduction to Brisbane covering historic background and current highlights. - Ryan was very welcoming and asked the small group to introduce ourselves which came in useful during the tour as we got to know each other and pass around questions. The tour included the history of Brisbane and some wider context in Queensland. Ryan touched upon pivotal moment in Brisbane’s history and how it shaped the city. All very interesting and great to know how the history compared to other city’s we travelled from in Australia. As the tour progressed Ryan shows a deep knowledge of Brisbane as we walked through key sites. Ryan took us through a journey of how the city had developed over time. Little breaks meant we could grab a coffee and buy an item or two from recommended shops. The pace was relaxed and would be more than comfortable for most people. Ryan shared lots of good locals advice specific to our time in Brisbane. He understood our interests and advised an itinerary which all went to plan. Our party of 3 throughly enjoyed the walking tour and have plans to book again on other tours offered by Local Sauce.
