About Urban Tours Brisbane

Experience Brisbane Differently

Locally owned and operated, Urban Tours Brisbane has quickly become a cornerstone of the city’s tourism scene. Founded in 2021 by Guy Watson, the business began as Brisbane Street Games—interactive scavenger hunts designed to reconnect locals with their city during the pandemic. Today, Urban Tours offers small-group walking, bike, and bus tours that showcase Brisbane’s lifestyle, history, and hidden gems.

Our mission is simple: help visitors and locals alike discover Brisbane through authentic, thoughtful, and unforgettable experiences.
