Tour guide was average
Tour guide was knowledgeable but failed to check if we could all hear. She spoke at busy street corners and her speaker was hidden under her raincoat. Early colonial Tasmanian history was very interesting. Going to the various pubs and hearing about the publicans made it come alive.

Family fun Tassie sojourn
It was such an interesting tour delving into the history of the area. The tour guide Sebastian was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter and answered all of our questions. Check the weather before you go. A fair bit if walking around waterfront areas.

Maggie, our tour guide,...
Maggie, our tour guide, was so welcoming and excited to share her knowledge of Hobart historic pubs, architecture and people. She gave us such an appreciation for Hobart’s history. We enjoyed our excellent tour experience.

Informative Fun
Tour guide was very well researched. Able to answer questions concisely and explain beyong when required. Good pace. Not rushed at any stage. Even though he had a personalised loud speaker, it wasn't loud enough a lot of the time.

Interesting and fun tour
Maggie had great knowledge and enthusiasm. Very interesting tour. Thought was taken into account on which pubs to visit. Lots of suggestions on good places to eat. Walk was suitable for all ages and pretty flat. Some stairs inside pub themselves. The history of Hobart in convict time was told in detail and was so informative. Nice small group. Thank you maggie.
