Great introduction to Hobart - Was our first day visiting Hobart. The walk was an excellent introduction to the history and important features of the centre and for our orientation. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. There was a lot of noise from the traffic but she had a good strong voice so no problems hearing everything she said. We learnt some facts you can't find in a guide book or google. Well worth it.

An unexpectedly pleasant tour that is worth your time and money! - The tour is well organized and well worth the money. Our wonderful guide Lisa met us a few minutes before the tour started, and gave us a wealth of historical information in good conversational English. She brought all the surrounding sights to life with her stories, filled with many interesting details, accompanied by maps and photos.
