Overview

A low cost, great introduction to Brisbane. Sit back, relax and enjoy Brisbane in a private tour, as you cruise around for 2.5 hours during the day with stops for photos and exploring.

A new tour in 2024, this popular, all weather drive-by tour will take you to a number of key Brisbane locations. Being chauffeured by a knowledgeable guide you will experience popular Brisbane locations from the perspective of a local.
The thoughtful design of this tour has incorporated many of the "must see" locations of Brisbane into a single tour of a 150 minute duration. Don't spend many hours on multiple tours, when you can take this single private tour and visit the key locations included.

As with all tours provided by 69 Tours, this is a private tour, which offers some room for flexibility, is never rushed, conducted in a relaxed, easy going fashion, by an experienced local guide.

Multiple stops provide plenty of opportunity to walk around, explore, have toilet breaks and take photos.
