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.

Just OK - Easy 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.
