Highlights

Step back in time and explore the vibrant history of Hobart, all while enjoying some of the finest local brews, wines and ciders! Join a Dave on a fascinating, fun-filled walking tour that combines the stories of Hobart’s past with a taste of its present-day pub culture. This experience takes you to Australia’s oldest pub and some of its oldest buildings, where you’ll hear captivating tales of early settlers, convict heritage, maritime legends, and the rise of Hobart’s social scene, all narrated with a dose of humor and enthusiasm by your expert guide, Dave. As you stroll through the charming streets of Hobart’s waterfront and historic districts, you’ll stop at four local watering holes where you’ll enjoy samples of Tasmania’s finest craft beers, ciders, and wine, all made on the island. Come thirsty for knowledge and drinks—Dave will make sure you leave with a smile (and maybe a few more pub stories of your own)! Cheers!

About Hobart

Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a harbour city of sandstone warehouses and colonial cottages beneath the slopes of Mount Wellington.

Hobart sits where the Derwent River widens into a deep harbour, with Mount Wellington rising behind it to more than 1,200 metres, often dusted with snow in winter. Founded in 1804, it is the second-oldest of Australia's capital cities. The sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place, the cottages of Battery Point and the yachts moored at Constitution Dock give the waterfront its character.

Top-ranked sights in Hobart: Bruny Island, Richmond Village, Mt. Wellington (Kunanyi).
