Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We met Lisa out the front of our hotel and it was all smiles and a lot of great information from there on in. We were taken around the streets of Hobart and learnt so much. Lisa was a wonderful guide full of life and energy. Both my wife and I loved it and thought it was well worth doing. I gave us a good idea of life in Van Diemen's land was like all those years ago living in this great city. Thanks Lisa!

We all had a wonderful time with Lisa on our walking tour of Hobart. Lisa was brilliant. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and had a wonderful, clear projecting voice so we didn’t miss a thing. My husband is hard of hearing and even he heard every word!
We learnt so much of the fascinating history of this beautiful town and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Lisa.

So happy to discover this amazing walking tour. As a local I found it incredible and had no idea of the history behind buildings and spaces I see every day. Hobart’s dark past tour is a must for locals and tourists - you will never look at the waterfront the same way again! We took the later tour after dinner out - perfect combo! Booking is also incredibly easy and I would consider looking up availability for other tours for a last minute adventure anytime

This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide (and business owner) Lisa shared her enthusiasm and knowledge in a well paced tour. We have been to Hobart a few times, and learnt so much from this tour. We wish we had done it years ago! Thank you Lisa.

Hobart's Dark Past Walking Tour was intriguing. Our guide and owner Lisa was very informative and had an obvious passion for Hobart and it's past. The tour gave me a insight to Hobart that is the hidden and untold. This tour open the door for me to learn more.

Did the historic Hobart small group walking tour. Our tour guide Lisa was very interesting and knowledgable, and the tour was well paced. Its money well spent as you get to better understand the stories and features of the things you're seeing right in front of you. We actually walked over things without understanding their significance just the day before
Im hoping to come back to Hobart again - this was my first visit - and first thing on my agenda will be booking more tours with these guys.

We seek out a history info walk everywhere we go. You don't cover the same ground as a 'Red Bus' but you get far, far more focus and depth. Plus what better way to interact with new and interesting information...through a person with whom you can communicate! Robyn did not disappoint, clear communicator, totally across her topic delivered with care and enthusiasm for the characters, events and facts. First class, highly recommended,

4 of us will be in Hobart on Friday 28 February 2020, and we want to do the 2 hour city tour - but it doesn't seem to be available on Fridays. Is this true? What are our options? It's the only day we have in Hobart
Advice appreciated

I’m interested in the time irish hero Thomas Francis Meagher spent in Tasmania. Do you know you know of anyone doing tours relating to that?? Thanks!🤗
Written 10 November 2017
Hello! Robyn here, from Hobart Walking Tours. TF Meagher is such an interesting man, and I have done a fair bit of research into him, and his family, and his time here in Tasmania.
I can certainly offer you some walking tour options about this, and it would be great to know when you will be in Hobart.
Please use the Contact Us form on our website so we can talk more. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Robyn
