      Fantastic
      Was a fun way to see Brisbane in a short trip. The host was great. Loved this tour! Was very interesting to learn the history of Brisbane and see the crime sights as well.

      Great tour guided by Sam!
      Our guide Sam was awesome! She was both knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a mother daughter night out for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely keen to do a ghost tour with Sam next!

      An amazing tour
      Great tour with excellent guide. Lots of information, videos and photos about Brisbane's crimes and murders in Fortitude Valley. Was stunned to see Whiskey Au Go Go site and the plaque. Was great to be reminded of places that once existed in the Valley.

      Interesting stories
      Molly was an excellent guide, really informative and kept us entertained for the 2 hours. She even managed to keep her cool with the young lads being a…brupt. Good on you, keep up the good work.

      10/10
      Molly took us back in time to the early colonisation of Brisbane to crimes that remain unsolved today. The stories were fascinating and expertly delivered; like a walking tour of your favourite true crime podcast. Interactive, engaging and will leave me talking and thinking every time I walk past these CBD buildings. Highly recommended. I will be doing this again. 10/10.

      Bloody good fun
      What a bloody great tour. This was my second Crime Tours Australia experience and it was excellent. Jack Sim was our tour guide and his descriptions of the murders was so good it was like he was an eye witness. Walking around the Brisbane CBD will never be the same. Now it's just a gruesome crime scene and I love it. Grab some and do it soon, Have a Bloody Mary before you go.

      Hectic Bloody Brisbane CBD walk
      I booked the Saturday night Bloody Brisbane CBD tour ( only available tour & date) not realising it was the first night of the Brisbane Festival. Although it was not my preferred tour it gave me an insight into the Brisbane CBD & Molly was an excellent presenter

      A great date night experience
      I have done a few tours through Crime Tours and Historic Australia and this Fortitude Valley Crime Tour was an excellent example of a great tour. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the history and the pace of the tour. Molly was fabulous and kept us very entertained. A really good way to explore the valley for a couple of hours in the afternoon and I liked learning about the Moonlight state and actually being in the mentioned places. Really brought it to life. Logistically the tour finished at a good time to then get dinner and be out before club goers came out.

      Interesting night out
      This was a really interesting night out. Sam was a knowledgeable and fun host of the tour, bringing the stories to life. I had no idea of the gruesome history of Brisbane.

      Great night out.
      Sam was incredible. Her knowledge of the topic was amazing. I have lived in south east Queensland all of my life and grew up in the 80s hearing the news and some of the stories. It was great to see where these incidents happened and hear the more detailed story. Very well presented. Enjoyable experience My friend and I finished the night with steak at Bubbles.

      Excellent guide - very knowledgeable and told the stories with respect and factuality
      Our tour was excellent! Our guide was so knowledgeable and although I'm a local, I learnt so much about the history of Brisbane and events that occurred not so long ago. Considering we did a crime tour, there was a risk that the tour could glorify the people who did some terrible things but our host managed to factually tell the stories and give the victims the respect and dignity they deserved - she was excellent and I will be looking into future tours!

      Interesting evening tour in Brisbane
      Good way to spend an evening in Brisbane; learn some history and some stories about crimes, legends, etc. The walking tour gives you a chance to appreciate the city's architecture. The city's buildings and their histories comes to life as you learn about Brisbane's past.

      The Brisbane beneath the surface….
      Thoroughly enjoyed the excursion, Molly has knowledge and a great delivery style, fluent and detailed. I thought I knew Brisbane fairly well … but not this side of it… ! Fascinating ( and shocking!) 2 hours…Will sign up for more!

      Date night with a difference
      It's a Friday date night with a difference. We learned a lot about Brisbane's bloody past and found our host, Molly, to be super knowledgeable and highly engaging. Practically, the walk was not strenuous, and there were times when one could sit down if needed.

    I was given a Bloody Brisbane Crime Tour for Christmas by my daughter. She went with me and I thought Jack did a wonderful job of commentating as well as Loreta doing a great job of driving us around. All in all it was a wonderful trip and the knowledge Jack has about not only the places but the people discussed during the trip was incredible. We are keen to do another trip soon but will be talking about this one for weeks to come.
