Your investment for this lifetime of memories.

ONLY $200 for the first two hours, and $60 for each additional hour. Minimum of two hours. This is for a family group (2 Adults and any number of children) or a group of up to four (4) friends. For non-family groups larger than four people it’s an extra $50 per person.

A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to lock in your tour.

Important notes:

Your time for the tour starts at the agreed start time, no matter if you are there on time or not - so it is best to be on time.. But if everyone is early, and we start early, that is FREE extra time.

By default, the tour involves a large amount of walking, stairs, on and off public transport, and a certain degree of agility. I am happy to arrange a tour for those with disabilities or limited capacity but it may be more limited on locations and require additional planning - and possibly cost so please contact me.

A refund or change of time is given should the tour be called off due to severe weather warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology for the Brisbane City area.

A change of tour start times can be provided with 24 hours notice, or should you experience flight delays, or other circumstances beyond your control.

No shows = a loss of the $100 non-refundable deposit.
