    Barely Just a Food Tour

    James was my guide on Dave’s Tasmania Food Tour. He was very kind and knowledgeable, taking me to places that had stories to tell, beyond just tasting the food. You could clearly see his love for Tasmania, Hobart, and its cultures. As a solo traveller visiting Hobart for the first time, I found this tour very helpful. James helped me get to know the city and pointed out places I would love to revisit. I enjoyed both the food and the stories behind each stop. I recommend doing this tour on your first day in Hobart! Admission fee is very reasonable in my opinion.

    A little taste of Hobart

    Great food tour with Sarah. There were only the four of us, so it was very personalized. Enjoyed all the stops, though the food portions were pretty small. I would think you could spring for more than one donut to split among 4 people! It would also have been nice to have some drinks included at some stops.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Pamela! Lovely to hear you enjoyed exploring Hobart with Sarah and the more personal feel of the small group. We also appreciate the feedback on portion sizes and drinks, and have taken that on board. Cheers The Daves

    Great Morning in Hobart!

    Excellent tour with Sarah! We had several stops, sampled all sorts of things from popcorn to seafood to chocolate and ice cream. It was a pleasant stroll, nothing too hilly or strenuous. This is a great way to spend a couple hours.

    Great small group tour of Hobart

    Sarah was a very good guide through a rainy Hobart food tour. We appreciated that they gave us the tour even though we were the only two people who had signed up. We sampled the scallop pie, smoked salmon, chocolate, donuts and ice cream. There was also a stop for oysters or shrimp. In fact this is the only stop I would recommend they rethink. First, not everyone likes raw oysters. The shrimp substitute was okay but a little hard to eat and quite messy. The place looks like they made some nice soups and perhaps one of those would be a better choice than the seafood items we had. Just a thought.

    Food, History, Sunshine.... good fun!

    Met with Greg 'Dave' for an informative and yummy food tour starting at Salamanca Square. We visited some excellent food places and got to try delights of Hobart...places one wouldn't even know existed, but their handcrafted meats, chocolates, pastries etc were first class! I personally learnt a lot about the history of the area as we walked around, as well as the delicious foods this region of Tassie produces. Had a thoroughly enjoyable morning!

    Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.

    How much does Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.

    Is Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hobart?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hobart?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hobart?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks. Not included: Bottled water; and Alternative dietary options -we can try and offer substitutes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dave's Eats Hobart Hobart Food Tour?

    +
