This is an ideal introduction to staying in Devonport. Josh was terrific with his local knowledge visiting all the must see sites giving wonderful views of the City and the Islands. Josh’s friendly easy going manner was a delight and nothing was any trouble.

The whole experience was excellent. History, local knowledge, time all well accommodated. Plenty of "look around and enjoy time"

Had a great trip with Josh earlier today. It was informative and interesting and helped to quickly build our knowledge of this beautiful area.

Great tour guide who also doubled as our driver. (Josh) His knowledge of the history, architecture and economics of the area was full of facts and anecdotes- which enhanced our experience with a sprinkle of light humor along the way. Many stops for excellent photos and comfort.

Highly recommend this tour. Booking is easy, very accommodating. I was solo traveling with my 2 year old and they were very welcoming. We drove around the Devonport - lots of interesting information that I wouldn't have known if I just wondered myself including about the house structures, native plants, historical sites, marine/navy influences etc. We also got "exclusive" access up the lookout point - The coach has access to drive up, while general public will need to hike up, which is definitely convenient if you have mobility issues or travelling with young kids. The view at the top was unmatched. I highly recommend this tour. It will remain part of our most treasured holiday highlights. Thank you ❤️

A wonderful way to explore Devonport. Paul our guide is very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The tour covers all the highlights with minimal amount of walking uphills. The views of the city is amazing..
