Experience Details

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!
