What to expect
Battery Point is best appreciated at a leisurely pace on foot with a guide who can bring to life how wealth flowed into Battery Point from the influx of trade and the British Royal Navy shipping timber, wool and rum from the Salamanca docks and warehouses.
This easy walking tour starts at Parliament House and ends in Salamanca Place - world famous for its Saturday markets, the oldest markets in Australia. Your guide will be happy to direct you to some of our favourite cafés for a reviving coffee after the tour.

We were pleasantly surprised that our hotel, Lenna (which is really nice!), is located at Battery Point. The neighborhood is very cute, with old houses built around the 1840s all very well cared for.

Take a walk and enjoy the sights as we did… you’ll be happy you did!Lisa our guide was well prepared, very knowledgeable and a great personality.

A walk through this area allowed appreciation of wonderful houses that have been beautifully maintained and allowed the ability to see the 1800’s date on each of the entry ways. Whilst some are retained as houses, some are now quaint shops. Hotels and a church on the border of a fabulous park overlooking the Derwent River provides a wonderful backdrop for a delightful stroll. Accessed by Kelly’s Steps in Salamanca Place. A great walk to enjoy on a sunny day.My husband, two adults kids and I spent 2 hours with our guide Debbie on the Historic Battery Point tour yesterday. It was absolutely great.

My husband, two adults kids and I spent 2 hours with our guide Debbie on the Historic Battery Point tour yesterday. It was absolutely great. Its the most beautiful area with incredible history and Debbie knew everything that anyone would need to know to bring this history to life for us. It made a huge difference to our exploration of the area. She was waiting for us at the meeting point and did not rush us through any part of the tour. A delightful, educated and interested person and a great storyteller. This is clearly a very professional and experienced tour operation. Highly recommended and very reasonably priced.This was a fabulously spent 2 hours! Loved every minute and our guide Lisa was very informative. Opens up further options to explore at a later date.
