About Us

Ali and Matthew have grown up in Hobart and think it is the best city in the world. They are passionate about the clean air, history and culture of Hobart and want to share it with as many people as possible. 

In 2015, Ali spent 6 months travelling through Asia and Europe. In each city he visited, a free walking tour would be the first thing he would do. Upon his return, Ali and Matthew started planning and research for Hobart's own free walking tour.

"Ali was well-informed, charming, personable & objective. I particularly liked that he didn't promote the commercial tourist aspects. Would highly recommend his tour for an entertaining overview of Hobart & its history."
