Hi, I’m Tiffany, and I’d love to show you around my hometown of Brisbane.
I’ve lived in Brisbane since I was nine years old and have watched it grow and evolve into the vibrant, laid-back river city you’ll experience today. As a passionate outdoor lover, you’ll often find me hiking, cycling, or catching up with friends and family while soaking up Brisbane’s arts and cultural scene.
I’m also a keen traveller, having explored nearly 50 countries. Wherever I go, one of the first things I do is join a walking tour—it’s the best way to truly understand a place through the eyes of a local, at a relaxed and authentic pace. That love for walking tours is exactly what inspired me to become a guide myself.
After spending 15 years working in the travel industry, and then in the corporate world, I traded the office for the outdoors to share my city with visitors from around the world. Guiding is now my full-time job, and I genuinely love what I do.

Tour description
Join us for a 2-2.5 hour, 5 km walking tour of Brisbane and explore the river city’s history, landmarks, and hidden stories as we wind through the streets and stories of the city. You’ll be walking with a local Brisbane storyteller, passionate about the city and its history, who will bring the streets, buildings, and river to life with fascinating tales.
We’ll take you from City Hall and ANZAC Square to South Bank with views of the Story Bridge, laneways and historical buildings, with stops at Customs House, and the Brisbane Botanic Gardens and Qld Parliament building along the way. Hear stories about Brisbane’s convict beginnings, floods, bridges, and cultural evolution, all while seeing the city come alive through a local's eyes.
This tour is at a leisurely walking pace, but participants should have a reasonable level of physical fitness to manage the 2-hour+, 5 km route, which includes a few stairs. Please wear comfortable shoes, bring a hat, and carry water to stay comfortable throughout the walk.
PLEASE NOTE that we will finish at a different location than our start point. We will start our journey in King George Square in the heart of the city, and conclude at Southbank with your guide providing options of where to visit, or easy directions to return to the start point.
