A must do tour in Hobart for everyone!
What a wonderful way to spend some time in Hobart. In just 90 minutes we learned many new and interesting facts about the history of Hobart despite being Tasmanians and having spent years living in Hobart. Never knew there was a Hunter Island and a causeway which are marked with bronze plaques in Hunter Street. Other facts of interest included the Hobart "Water Gate"; that the Town Hall is a replica of a building in Rome; the location of the former Gaol and where public hangings were carried out; where Governor Collins is buried and the stories behind the preserved headstones in St David's Park and how Salamanca Place was given its' name. Best of all, guide Barry was personable, knowledgeable and kept our interest the entire time. So pleased we decided to be "tourists" for a day in Hobart.

Hobart Urban Walk...new discoveries! Our Claremont College VET Tourism class walked the streets of old and new Hobart with our terrific tour guide John. His passion for this historic Australian city showed in his knowledge and presentation. A few favourite discoveries were 'ghost signs', the rivulet running through the city, learning the history of the historic buildings and getting tour guide tips along the way....
Thanks John and Hobart Historic Tours.

Old Hobart Pub Tour. One of the best “city tours” we’ve done ... anywhere! Our Guide John was fantastic - very knowledgeable and very easy to get on with. Easy to organise and then a lovely stroll through the streets of down town Hobart visiting some great pubs!
I would recommend this tour and Hobart Historic Tours generally to anyone! Spoil yourselves - you won’t regret it!

Thank you for booking us on the Grand Hobart Walk. I would just like to say that our guide Bill was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, engaging and has a genuine passion for his role. We would definitely recommend Bill and the organisation.

Welcoming and informative
Old Hobart Pub Walking Tour
Maggie is one of the most accomplished tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Friendly, kind, knowledgeable. The walking tour itself was full of interesting content delivered expertly and engagingly. We had a group of eight and we were all friends by the end. Would recommend again and again. Thank you Hobart Historic Tours.

Happy to report that Maggie was flexible with the start time after we decided to do some impromptu art! She took us on an intriguing trip back in time and now when I walk around Hobart I’m seeing so much more interesting things than I did before. The pub visits were perfect and ensured we had adequate hydration and nutrition.

I can’t recommend the experience, or Maggie as guide, enough.

Loved every minute of the walking tour! Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable and his passion for the history of Hobart was wonderful. He prepared maps for us to help us get our bearings and he had lots of old photos to share. We loved learning about this beautiful city from a local who obviously loves living here.
Thank you, Tony, for sharing your knowledge and stories with us.

Our Tour Guide Sara was wonderful.
She was enthusiastic, easy to be with, very willing to answer questions and
provided lots of very interesting information.

I will recommend the walk to other visitors and local residents.
