Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Jack Sim’s team know their history. They have taken the time to research specific locations, criminals and their crimes. I would highly recommend attending any of Jack Sim’s ghost tours, they are all interesting and each tour has it’s own unique history.

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.

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

Hi Mark, Brisbane is a vibrant city with a lot of events going on every weekend. We are glad to hear that even with the disruption of Brisabne Festival, you still had a great evening with our guide Molly.
Bloody Brisbane CBD walk operates every Wednesday to Saturday, we try our best to organise tours during weekdays and weekends so that our guests have options. Hope to see you on other tours! We can't wait to have you again!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
