Discover Brisbane by Land and by River – Private tour

Brisbane will surprise you!
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.
