Hello, my name is Ali and welcome to my tours! I was born and raised in Tasmania, and I welcome you to my unique island home. I offer a number of unique Tasmanian experiences, all of which can be customised to suit your itinerary, interests and abilities. Please don't hesitate to contact me with and queries. Tasmania is the world's most unique island - let me show you why. Tasmanian Devils, wallabies, contemporary art, pristine beaches all to yourself and mountains as far as the eye can see. A tour with me means seeing world famous Tasmanian scenery, but also the best kept local secrets. I understand your time in Tasmania is limited, so I will work hard to ensure you experience Tasmania in a calm, comfortable environment. My tours are a 'click and forget' option; book with me and I will organise pick up, drop off, entry to exhibits and national parks, and your food for the day. I was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania. While completing a Bachelor of Laws & Business at The University of Tasmania, I began giving tours and have shown over 500 people around Hobart. I have refined my ability to give entertaining, sensitive and insightful tours. A sample of feedback I have received: "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. " "As a local, Ali our guide, gave magnificent insights and stories about Hobart. I'd suggest to take this walking tour as soon as you arrive, as the guides help you in visiting the iconic places of Hobart with beautiful stories about it, to make you feel one with the land. " Having attended countless tours myself, I intimately understand what separates the mundane and marvelous tours. No two of my tours are the same; I pride myself on customising each tour to my guests, their interests and abilities. 8 years experience as a guide 400+ tours completed Bachelor of Laws with Honours (University of Tasmania) Bachelor of Business (University of Tasmania) NONE

We had an excellent tour with Ali. His friendliness and positive energy were obvious from the start. He included us in a conversation about the history of Tasmania and did not just “tell us” a list of facts. We highly recommend Ali!

The most perfect way to experience a taste of Hobart! My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon with Ali! He is a brilliant story teller and brings Hobart to life. He has a great cadence in terms of walking and talking. We saw parts of Hobart we'd never see on our own and parted ways with excellent suggestions for the remainder of our trip. Highly, highly recommend. Ali is a gem of a human!
