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

Overview of your Hobart tour

A visit to Tasmania would not be complete without experiencing the famous Tasmanian Devil in its natural habitat. When European explorers first arrived in Tasmania, they were terrified by what they thought were devils in the forest. Upon learning they were small animals, they were titled the 'Tasmanian Devil'. First stop is the Coal River Valley, home to Tasmanian Wines and Cheeses. Secondly, you will visit the historic Richmond Village, home to the oldest bridge in Australia, and the tastiest Scallop Pie in the world! Finally, you will go to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary for a feeding tour of the animals (note - tour may include other persons). An expert wildlife ranger will take you on a 2 hour tour of the sanctuary, and give the chance to feed almost all of their animals including the Tasmanian Devil, Kangaroos, Wallabies and Cockatoos. There will be countless opportunities for priceless photos.

What an amazing 3 days my husband and I had with Ali. We customized three tours including: Wineglass bay, Tasman Peninsula/Port Arthur, and Mt. Field National park with drop-off at Bonorong. Prior to our tours, Ali expertly communicated with us and helped us organize three days tailored to exactly what we wanted and then re-confirmed all the details subsequently a few days or so before our trip. And he delivered on all of it! He is professional, flexible, and pretty darn funny too. After nearly 70 countries and countless tour guides over the years, we feel Ali deserves highest recommendations. Thanks for a great time.

This was truly an amazing experience. If you do nothing else in Tasmania take this tour and visit Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. We were able to feed various animals including the Tasmania devils and actually hold a Wombat. A once in a lifetime experience.

We had a wonderful experience with Ali touring Tasmania! The itinerary was great, especially our visit to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and a stop at a local restaurant for wine and cheese. We found Ali to be engaging, knowledgeable, and personable and a wonderful advocate for Tasmania. Our excursion with Ali was the highlight of our entire cruise.

A fabulous tour by Ali. He was informative, polite and very friendly. His vehicle was immaculate and he had cold water waiting for us. The itinerary he chose suited us perfectly ( shame about the cloud that descended on the mountain just as we were approaching!!!). We'll have to come back to Hobart and have Ali take us up there again. Excellent day thank you, Ali.
