5.00The bus drivers Corey and Harry were really friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed lunch at Cascade Brewery then did the Hobart Rivulet Walk with the Red Decker picking us up at the end of our walk and dropping us off at the information centre.
See Hobart in comfort and be informed.

4.00Had a very poor experience in Sydney on one of these tours. What a difference in Hobart. The cheerful driver added info to the recorded voiceover, it was comfortable and informative. We hopped off at the Botanical Gardens then got another bus back to base precisely on time.
