    Explore the West End Markets and Brisbane’s Cultural Icons – Your Day, Your Way!

    Spend a relaxed Saturday uncovering the best of Brisbane with a flexible, easygoing day out designed just for you. First, we’ll begin at the vibrant West End Markets in leafy Davies Park—an iconic riverside market buzzing with energy. With more than 150 local stalls, you’ll find everything from farm-fresh produce to handmade crafts. In here, you’ll find a welcome variety of boutique fashion, jewellery, potted plants, and flavoursome international street food. All of it is accompanied by toe-tapping live music beneath the shade of giant fig trees.

    After you’ve had your fill of browsing and tasting, we’ll whisk you over to South Bank. Your afternoon is free to explore two of Brisbane’s most celebrated cultural institutions—the Queensland Museum and the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). Whether you’re fascinated by natural history or inspired by bold contemporary art, you’ll have time to meander through exhibitions, browse the gift shops, or enjoy a quiet cuppa at your leisure.

    This is a transport-only tour, so you choose how to spend your time and where to eat—be it street food at the West End Markets, a market picnic by the river, or a cosy café inside the museum.

    No need to worry about traffic, directions, or parking—we’ll take care of it all. Enjoy a smooth ride in our comfortable coach and the friendly company of like-minded travellers.

    Organised with care by The Funtastic Tour Company, this is the perfect day trip for over-50s who love culture, connection, and carefree exploring. Share the Journey, Share the Joy!📞 Call 5294 0402 or Reserve Now
