Would not miss this !!! - Absolutely worth it and have recommended to all going in the next few months. The perfect amount of history and some odd ball bits I never would have known had it not been for the knowledgeable guides.

Great History Tour Hobart - I took the Hobart 2 Hr Walking Tour and it was Outstanding. Being my first time visiting Hobart, Lisa Made the Experience by Highlighting Local Sights and the Origins of the Hobart through its Aboriginal, Convict Settlement and the Modern City, giving great Insight and history into what Makes Hobart today. Highly Recommend for those visiting to better Understand Tasmania and its Past.

Must do activity - We had a morning walk with Lisa, she was lovely. Lisa was so knowledgeable about all things Hobart and Tasmania. We had a great informative very personal feeling tour. We saw things we had walked past before and didn’t even realise the significance of. I would definitely recommend this tour as an essential activity on your trip to Hobart.

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.
