Highly Recommend - Decision between 2hr or 3hr tour and choose this one, glad we did. Small group was ideal - we had 8 in total - which included a gentleman with his service dog (who was very cute !). Putting this part in to show that the tour is wheelchairs friendly (smiley face). Our tour guide Lisa was exceptional. Lisa's passion and knowledge about the history of Hobart left you wanting to learn more and more, loved that Lisa had pictures to show what Hobart was like in the early 1800's. The tour was an easy walk and finishing at Salamanca Markets was a great end to explore the local produce. Thank you Lisa.

Interesting, Informative snd accommodating! - We took a client on the 2 hour walking tour with Lisa who was very informative and great with accomodating for our client in his wheelchair and his service dog. We learnt so much more about Hobart and its historic background.

Great time! - Lisa was our guide and she was great! A really good way to get an injection of history while in Hobart that isn’t covered by the museums. A real highlight of my trip. I also did the night tour with this company which was also fantastic.

Lisa showed us Hobart history I would not have discovered on my own. Great tour. - Lisa was a great guide to take us through the history and people of Hobart. Having done these walks of a number of years she could explain how things had changed even more recently. My walk was arranged by a tour company, and I’m very glad they did. I learnt a lot I never would have discovered on my own.

Worth it - Excellent guide. Interesting, not too long a walk. Little more I can add. 100 character minimum is unnecessary

Great introduction to Hobart - Was our first day visiting Hobart. The walk was an excellent introduction to the history and important features of the centre and for our orientation. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. There was a lot of noise from the traffic but she had a good strong voice so no problems hearing everything she said. We learnt some facts you can't find in a guide book or google. Well worth it.
