Enjoy Hobart’s spectacular backdrop, kunanyi (Mt. Wellington). Breathe in the pristine Tasmanian air as we drive up the 1272m to the pinnacle where you will be greeted by the very best view of Hobart and surrounds. Up there you will have 30 minutes to explore the short boardwalk lookouts or spend your time in the observation and information shelter.
Description
Step back in time for two hours as you explore Richmond, a quaint little township nestled in the heart of the Coal Valley wine region. Walk the streets of this iconic township which is rich in convict history, sandstone colonial buildings and home to Australia’s oldest bridge, catholic church and oldest intact gaol. A great place to sample some local food and wine, have some lunch and visit the many quaint local art and craft shops.
A city loop with fully guided commentary as we drive you around the streets of nipaluna (Hobart). It covers all the important locations and landmarks across the Hobart CBD and beyond. Expect to see Salamanca Place, Parliament House, Cascade Brewery, Female Factory, Battery Point, Tasman Bridge and many more.
On Saturdays (only) we will have a 75-minute stop at Hobart's most visited tourist attraction the Salamanca market. With 300 stallholders, the market includes fresh local produce, delicious home grown food and drink and lots of souvenirs, gifts and many handmade products. It is a true cultural experience.

Great one-day tour for a short visit

5.00This was a great one-day tour while visiting for a few days from the U.S.! Without renting a car, I was able to see some of the highlights outside the city with a very knowledgeable guide. I was lucky with a very small group this day, which made it even better. If I’m back I’ll try out another one!
Highly recommend this day trip!

5.00I was fortunate enough to join this tour with an unusually small group of people. My tour guide, Steve, was fantastic. He explained all sights in detail and shared a lot of his own insights. He even took me to purchase leatherwood honey! Weather was great too that day. Anyway, for this kind of tour, having a great tour guide is the key and I was lucky enough to have Steve!
Wonderful time!!!

5.00Booked the half day but ended up doing the full day tour which was so worth it! Mark was an awesome host, a wealth of knowledge and a talent for remembering names. We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and this tour! Would highly recommend.

5.00Joey, our guide, was fantastic. Lots of great information about Tasmania and Hobart….a passionate local and a great bloke. We were pretty lucky as we had a private tour. The bus is very comfortable and the tour takes you to all the places that it promises. Great day out. Good value for money. Thank you 😊
Excellent tour.

3.00Easy tour stopping at Mt Wellington and Richmond. Mini bus was fine. Our guide was a nice young man but didn’t really know much and couldn’t answer many of our questions. Overall, I’d say not great value for money.
