2-Hour Small-Group Walking Tour of Hobart - a must do - Fantastic informative tour with Lisa who added great historical context to many of the buildings and statues we had paid very little attention to on previous trips to Hobart. To walk through a park for example and learn its a hidden graveyard or walk past the Footsteps Sculpture and statue of Sir John Franklin and hear what and why they are there added a real enrichment to our stay in Tassie. We had a 16 year old with us and she said she had not learned any of the history in school. Highly recommend doing this tour

Excellent introduction to Hobart - A great introduction to Hobart CBD and waterfront area. We booked this tour for the first day of our stay and got enough ideas to fill free days. The guide was excellent and the tour informative, not too long or strenuous, and with enough history to give a sense of the place. Learning about a colony that wiped out the aboriginal people and was built on convict labour is not a happy story but as the guide said, it’s one that needs to be acknowledged. The tour gave a real sense of what life was like back then and how those hard times laid foundations of the current thriving state capital. Highly recommend this reasonably priced tour.
