How are we free?
We want to share our love of Hobart with everyone, no matter what their budget is. For this reason we don’t charge a booking fee. Instead, guests are invited to leave a tip at the end of the tour.
About UsAli 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."
