Great guide, interesting tour and a beautiful walk - This was a wonderful tour run by Lisa who was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Hobart history. I went on the tour with a Tasmanian friend who was surprised to discover lots of new things about her capital city. It was a lovely walk in a beautiful town, and Lisa told lots of stories about people and places. I particularly loved the file of old photos and drawings and maps she carried to illustrate how Hobart once looked.

We had a great time on this tour - Lisa, thank you for your fascinating and informative tour. We (a family of 6) had a great time learning about Hobart andTasmania, especially its early colonial history. Lisa took the time for our questions about Hobart and Tasmania then and now. It set us up well to explore Hobart and surroundings on our own. I couldn't recommend the tour more highly
