Great tour - Great tour of Hobart with excellent tour guide Matthew who was extremely informative - you’ll learn far more about Hobart and its formation/development than you would do just wandering around.

Informative and fun way to learn about Hobart's beginnings! - A wonderful way to see the beautiful city and learn some amazing stories about prominent figures from our past! Our guide was fantastic and the stories made us laugh and also reflect on the hard times people endured to start a new colony.

This is a walk worth doing! - Exceptionally knowledgeable guide, interesting history, small group. Matthew went out of his way to ensure everyone had a great experience, and the information he shared was really interesting! Plus, he offered insights for other activities we wanted to pursue later.

Informative tour - Learnt some interesting things about Hobart and the area we are staying in. Such old building and history. The history on the foreshore was amazing and can't believe it is built on water.

Great way to Learn about Hobart - We took a 3 hour walking tour of Hobart through Hobart Historic Tours. It was fantastic. A shout out to our guide, Richard, who was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Learned about the sandstone buildings downtown and the beautiful area up the hill called Battery Point. A great way to get your bearings in Hobart.
