We were looking forward to the experience and was not dissapointed with the museum. It is certainly different and very well set up. Found using the app very good. Guides always around to assist if needed. It is easy to walk around once you have navigated the 100 steps. If unable to walk up steps advise going by road.

My partner and I had the honour of learning and seeing Hobart with Kirk at Localing and I can't think of a better way to immerse yourself in this incredible place. Our guide had ENDLESS knowledge about every aspect of Tasmania's history including the natural history which we were able to apply to the jaw dropping places he took us. We stopped through a stunning Berry farm, 2 incredible hikes tailored to our ability and interests and were taken to our booking that Localing made for us at Agrarian Kitchen (which we also recommend highly), all in a day's work! And the knowledge our guide shared about our surroundings just whilst driving en route these places was hugely informative and engaging. Anyone who comes to Tassie quickly learns what an incredible state it is with a strong pulse and a Localing tour is the best way to immerse yourself in the gifts that Tassie has to offer. Thank you so much to Kirk and Localing crew.
