Matthew was an extremely knowledgeable guide - very personable and provided a very pleasant walking tour
A truly fantastic walking tour. Richard was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
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.
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.
Diane is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and ready to answer our questions. I learned a lot about the early power structures and ways of operation of the early colony.
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.
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.
Great introduction to Hobart’s history with our guide, Mathew. Some of group continued on the ‘grand tour’ for an extra 1 1/2hr, covering Battery Point.
Good informative walk Guide was knowledgeable and clear Would recommend to anyone wanting to get an understanding of Hobart history
Had a great time. Sarah was very informative and knew her stuff. The Walking Tour is a must do if your visiting Hobart, so much history. And there's a lot of pubs around for when you've finished all the walking.
