Experience Brisbane
Beyond the Guidebooks

Hey, I’m Maddy - your easygoing Brisbane buddy who believes this city has the world’s best coffee (don’t fight me on it until you’ve tried a flat white by the river!).

I love how Brisbane invites you to explore - from hiking up Mt Coot-tha to strolling along the riverwalk or catching an indie gig in a tucked-away bar. On weekends, you’ll usually find me wandering through the Botanic Gardens and ending up at Howard Smith Wharves for caffeine and people-watching. I know the ins and outs of Toowong, Taringa, Milton, St Lucia, the CBD, West End, and Kangaroo Point - the perfect spots for food lovers, sunset seekers, and anyone who wants to feel like a true local.

Hi, I’m Evan!

I love sharing the best of Brisbane, from the lively streets of Fortitude Valley to the cultural hub of New Farm and the riverside beauty of Southbank. Brisbane’s subtropical climate makes it perfect for outdoor adventures, whether kayaking along the river, taking a CityCat ferry, or cheering at sporting fixtures like the Broncos or Brisbane Heat. I’m passionate about the city’s food scene, from Asian delights in Sunnybank to Southbank’s diverse eateries, and I love showing visitors the hidden gems across neighborhoods like West End, Kangaroo Point, and Woolloongabba. Let’s explore Brisbane’s flavors, culture, and iconic spots together!

I’m William, your easygoing Brisbane mate who loves nothing more than sharing our sun-kissed, laid-back way of life.

Brisbane is one of the few cities where you can head to work in a suit, throw on your swimmers at lunch, then stroll home along the river, and it’s magic. Even as the city booms, it still holds that country-town warmth and classic Queensland “no worries” charm. I’m obsessed with our inner-city villages, from New Farm and the Valley to West End, South Bank and even Ipswich, each with its own story. Whether we’re exploring world-class parks and public spaces or diving into architecture, history, future development or quirky little facts, I’ll show you the Brisbane most visitors never get to see.

Hi, I’m Renae!

I love Brisbane for its river alfresco culture, warm weather, and the mix of city life and nature. I enjoy walking to the summit of Mount Gravatt, spotting koalas in the national park, and exploring events, theatre, galleries, and restaurants. I love trying the dining options at the Star Casino, attending Brisbane Festival and QPAC shows, and discovering the best outdoor walks and happenings around the parklands and city. I know Southbank, CBD, New Farm, Fortitude Valley, James Street, and West End very well. I am passionate about bush walking, photography, finding great bars and restaurants, and hosting events and business meetings.
