Lisa was attentive and interesting in her descriptions of the history and facts - very engaging. We walked past the Supreme Court, Salamanca Place, the back streets of Battery Point. Beautiful gardens and a perfect day out. Highly recommend for a nice day.

This was a very informative and enjoyable tour of Hobart taken on a Saturday morning. Lisa was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about Hobart and its history. The tour ended at the Salamanca market. Many highlights - but of great interest was the collection behind the newly built Supreme Court. I would highly recommend this walking tour and will definitely be booking some of the other tours offered by Hobart Walking Tours.

Lisa was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable of the history of the area. The tour was a bit long for one area and could have been covered in an hour. I would like to have seen other areas of Hobart e.g. Battery Point included in the tour.

Lisa spent 2 hours with myself and another couple walking through Old Hobart. The vast knowledge she has was fantastic and the stories she told on the way brought the Old Hobart to life. If you are new or old to visiting Hobart I’d recommend this tour.

Very informative tour about Hobart history connecting it to the many historic buildings. A very accessible walk. The tour guide was prepared to run the tour for one person when 4 people pulled out due to the weather.
