We had a great afternoon with Richard. He is very knowledgeable and the three hours flew by. Richard showed us many interesting things around Hobart and shared many interesting facts with us. We highly recommend this walking tour to hear all about Hobart’s fascinating past.

Had an excellent time with John our guide. The three hour tour was very well run and worth the money covering a lot of ground around Hobart, learning the history of the town from Discovery to the current day. Not a difficult walk and there was a break for a drink and a comfort stop. The knowledge John gave us was very interesting and there was an interactive element. Give this a go if you are in town

We have been to Tasmania and Hobart many times, and wanted to do something different as we had done most of the top attractions. Everywhere we go around the world we do a walking tour so decided to do one around Hobart and it was fantastic. Our guide Diane was brilliant and knowledgeable and we found out so much about the history of Hobart and also we didn't realise that when walking the streets of Hobart that we would walk past so many historic and beautiful buildings. Going through battery point and able to go up to the tower in Lenna was brilliant. So much history that we do need to remember.

What an amazing day. The guide was so nice and informative. Her knowledge of Hobart was wonderful and she went out of her way to make it an interactive experience. Diane was so wonderful and really went out of her way to make everyone a part of the story and inclusive experience.

We really enjoyed spending an afternoon learning about the history of Hobart. Our guide was well-informed and enthusiastic, and showed us places we could never have found on our own, like a widow's walk overlooking the harbour entrance, and the eerily immaculate streets of Battery Point.

What a fantastic experience this was. Di was our tour guide and she was so much fun and a wealth of knowledge. We had access to some magnificent homes that the public would not be able to access. My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It gave us a real appreciation of the city of Hobart. Thanks again!

A wonderful and informative day waking around Hobart and learning all of the fascinating history. Tony was an amazing guide whose knowledge and passion for Hobart made the day even better. We went on the longer walk and it was well worth it!

John the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting we did the extended tour so we got to see things in battery point & Salamanca we wouldn’t have on our own. It was a nice leisurely pace even got to stop for a coffee
