Review

I recently went on a Walking Food Tour with Jaimie-lee as part of a conference activities program. Although the weather was a little iffy, it was a superb afternoon visiting iconic locations and sampling both foods and wines from the Brisbane and surrounding areas. Jaimie-lee is very knowledgeable, easy going and thorough even though she had to keep our group on track .... akin to herding a group of cats at times! Thank you Delectable Tours for a great afternoon in the Brisbane CBD. PS To ensure enough room for all the food to be consumed on this tour, maybe refrain from eating too much beforehand!

We really enjoyed our tour with Jamie-Lee! It was a great afternoon walking through different suburbs of Brisbane and learning about the unique history of each suburb. The 4 restaurants and bars we went to were really enjoyable, the food was fantastic and it was great to visit places we may not have been too otherwise. Would highly recommend and a great way to see your own backyard!
