Cần Quan Tâm

Meet your guide outside Parliament House near Salamanca Place on the waterfront, and then set off on your 2-hour walking tour to explore historic Battery Point. Soak up the elegance, beauty and history of this quiet and exclusive area that was once farmland known as Cottage Green. This tour includes Arthur Circus and is full of stories including dubious property dealings by Governor Arthur, the fall of the carousing Reverend Knopwood and the ship building tycoon Alexander MacGregor whose finest of grand Georgian homes still stands today. Battery Point is best appreciated at a leisurely pace on foot with a guide who can bring to life how wealth flowed into Battery Point from the influx of trade and the British Royal Navy shipping timber, wool and rum from the Salamanca docks and warehouses. This easy walking tour starts at Parliament House and ends in Salamanca Place - world famous for its Saturday markets, the oldest markets in Australia. Your guide will be happy to direct you to some of our favourite cafés for a reviving coffee after the tour.

Lisa was knowledgeable and engaging. This walking tour was excellent because she spoke about lots of hidden gems that we would never have known about by simply googling or reading a travel guide. We really loved it! Thankyou!
Amazing

It was so interesting. Our guide lived in Battery point so she knew all the history with extras. She could answer most questions but allowed time for us to interact with others in the group. 2hrs went quite quickly.
A very informative walk around Battery point

Lisa's communication with me after I made an online booking was flawless. Her message was clear and easy to understand. She knows Battery Point and Hobart generally extremely well. Hubby and I were most impressed. We have visited Hobart many times but never done a walking tour before. Should have done it years ago! Thanks for a great morning walking the streets of the beautiful BP! We will do your other tours next time we're in Hobart.

Lisa is fabulous, her knowledge of Hobart & its history is beyond words. She spoke so well about everything, answered all questions with knowledge & humour. We’ve done tours all over the world & she is up there with the best. At all times we could hear her over traffic, always explained fully. We are so happy we did the Hobart central tour the day before & Battery Pt the next day with Lisa as it gave us an excellent overview & set up the rest of our time in Hobart.
