About this experience

Take our private three-hour Art + Design Tour and get an up close introduction to Brisbane’s excellent open air art scene. On our Art + Design tour you will traverse the streets of Brisbane and discover hidden – and not so hidden – unique street art all the while conversing with fellow guests and your guide about your personal interpretation of the art you see. With the ever growing Brisbane Street Art Festival, there is always something new to be seen. We’ll finish at the internationally renowned QAGOMA Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art just in time for you to grab lunch and enjoy the rest of your day. Alternatively, our guide will accompany you on the 10-minute walk back to the Queen St Mall. Please note: this is a private tour.

I loved this tour
Thank you Lee-Ann for showing me the beautiful art work on this 3 hour walking tour. I enjoyed your descriptions and our little discussions about each piece. You got to know what I was interested in and made it personalized. This tour has you looking in every direction to find more art. Lee-Ann is very knowledgeable and at the end of this tour you keep looking for more art work in Brisbane. Thanks again Lee-Ann
Response from the operator: Hi Shirley, Thank you for your review of our Art + Design tour. It's great to hear that you kept on looking for art after the tour had finished. I am sure that you would have luck in finding other pieces; there really is so much around that we take for granted. I also hope you will be able to put some of the ideas you picked up into practice for your students. Take care Lee-Anne

Art & Design Brisbane

Insider Knowledge of Great City Art and Design
This walking tour shows you the hidden gems of art and design that proliferate the Brisbane CBD. The tour trains you to look up and down as well as at street level because Brisbane's art is in a myriad of places. Tour guide Lee-Ann has a wonderful knowledge of the works and will open your eyes to another side of the city.
Response from the operator: Hi Annona, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure showing you Brisbane's somewhat unknown art scene and I very much enjoyed the few hours we had together. I hope the conference dinner you attended that evening was a good night! We'd love to see you back again, maybe next time with your husband. Take care Lee-Anne

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brisbane.
How much does Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brisbane usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brisbane is not rushed.
Is Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Brisbane, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brisbane can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brisbane and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Brisbane City Art and Design Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brisbane within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Brisbane?
+
On Outty we rank every Brisbane experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include North Stradbroke Island WILDLIFE Adventure Tour from Brisbane, Brisbane River Cruise with entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Australia Zoo Day Trip from Brisbane. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Brisbane?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brisbane?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
