We loved learning about some of the old history of the pubs and some of their stories. Walking around is a great way to learn, and appreciate the buildings.

Worst tour in m life

Nothing. Felt embarrassed to be a Tasmanian. Could not hear anything with traffic going past all the time. The tour was nothing like advertised.

Response from Host , Mar 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the tour. We are currently operating this tour slightly differently due to Covid-19 and hence we are spending less time indoors in pubs. This is only an interim phase until we can return to our usual program. It is mentioned on our website as well as the booking confirmation that program alterations are in place currently. We are more than happy to discuss your concerns in more details and you can reach us on 03 6234 5550 or via email to info@hobarthistorictours.com.au. Kind regards, Christina and the Hobart Historic Tours team

Disappointing to only enter one pub

Historic information and stories of convict times. Guide was informative and engaging but only entered one pub

Response from Host , Feb 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed about only visiting one pub. We usually visit three pubs, however due to COVID, we are operating a slightly different tour currently in order to keep our customers as well as staff as safe as possible. Each venue is slightly different in terms of space to ensure social distancing. And each venue has different rules currently. We look forward to returning to our normal schedule in due course. It is great to hear that you found our guide to be informative and engaging. Kind regards, Christina and the Hobart Historic Tours team
