About this tour
JACK SIM presents THE ORIGINAL FORTITUDE VALLEY CRIME TOUR - RESEARCHED BY LOCAL HOMICIDE HISTORIAN Jack Sim - running Brisbane's Crime Tours for 25 years
Discover the seedy underbelly of Brisbane in the 1970s/80s on this 2 hour guided walking tour through infamous Fortitude Valley – where illegal casinos, strip-clubs and brothels were the norm – and visit the site of the notorious and tragic Whiskey Au Go Go firebombing! The events in this place led to the notorious Fitzgerald Inquiry into corruption. Crooked crims lurk on every corner, and there are many shadowy tales to be told… Our competition completely this copied original tour, like they did our other BLOODY BRISBANE CBD CRIME TOUR. Disgusting, unethical behaviour.
Brisbane’s original true crime tours are researched and operated by crime-writer Jack Sim, publisher of the Murder Trails Series Podcast and the books BLOODY BRISBANE Volumes 1 & 2.
Why we list this tour
We're an independent backpacker guide to Byron Bay. This tour is part of the broader Viator catalogue we list to give you a complete picture of what's bookable in the region — beyond our hand-picked editorial directory of local operators we know personally.
When you book through the link on this page, the price you pay is the same as booking direct on Viator or via the operator. We earn a small commission from Viator (currently 8%), which funds the site without changing the price for you. We don't pick tours based on commission — we list them based on whether they're relevant to backpackers visiting the region.
For more context on tour-booking economics + how we work with operators, see our operator partnership page. For the local-operator alternatives we know best (Soul Surf School, Go Sea Kayak, Cape Byron Kayaks, Sundive, Aunty Delta Kay's Bundjalung walks), see our editorial things-to-do directory.
