Next up, step back in time to see historical sandstone buildings, some built 180 years ago, as you explore Battery Point.

A wonderful and informative day waking around Hobart and learning all of the fascinating history. Tony was an amazing guide whose knowledge and passion for Hobart made the day even better. We went on the longer walk and it was well worth it!

To be completely honest, this tour...
Janine M, Dec 2017
To be completely honest, this tour was a little boring - sorry. We typically love walking tours but didn't really enjoy this one. To top it off, having nothing whatsoever to do with the tour, it rained buckets causing us to abandon the second half of the tour and head back to the ship.
