Eighteen years ago, Daves was one Dave running a single pub tour through Sydney's Rocks because the official ones missed all the good stuff. The Hobart crew opened in 2014 with the same idea — a small group, a local Dave, and the baker / fishmonger / chocolatier / ice cream maker doing the talking themselves.
We keep groups small so you can actually meet the makers, see what's coming out of the oven that morning, and ask whatever you want. The food tour is the flagship — five-plus stops between Salamanca and Victoria Dock — with a handful of sister Hobart tours rolling out and the same booking-fee policy (zero) across the network. We are all Dave. Daves is all of us.
Sister Daves tours run across Australia. Same booking, same booking-fee policy (zero), same small-group format — different city's pantry.
Notes from guides on the ground. What's coming off the boat, what's in season, and the occasional very strong opinion about scallop pies.
The Hobart food tour sells out 2 to 3 weeks ahead in summer. Lock yours in — or get a quote for a private group built around your party.
