Know More about this tour

After meeting your guide in central Hobart, begin your journey through more than 200 alcohol-fueled years of enterprise, hardship, and amusing anecdotes at some of Hobart's old waterfront taverns.

Enjoy a drink (own expense, no obligation) with your fellow tour-goers as you learn about the citys underbelly. Your guide takes you back in time through tales of Hobart's pubs, brothels, smugglers, convicts, and other rip-roaring characters who played a part in the murky yet fascinating history of Hobart. Your tour ends in the Salamanca area, where you may continue exploring on your own (or just have another drink!).

Guide very knowledgeable. Would swap the order of the tour to finish at the best pub Hope and Anchor Tavern. Was a great place for a drink and dinner.

Disappointing, guide obviously knew a lot about the area. Was expecting to actually go into the pubs and hear the history over a beer but instead mostly stood outside in the noisy busy street, hogging the paths and people having to navigate around us.

John was a very good tour guide, he knew a lot about not just the pub history but also about Tasmania's history. It was a great evening.
