Very enjoyable and interesting tour - We had a very enjoyable day out on this tour. Our bus driver was full of interesting facts and knew all about Hobart and the places we went to. We also did the MONA visit on the ferry. The gallery was very unique and worth a visit.

Great trip for time poor visitor to Hobart. - Apologies but I have forgotten the lady that did our tour - great voice, knowledgeable and the opportunity to go to see things that not known even to some "locals" - like the rings that show the point to the bridge was damaged. the coffee shops and areas around Battery Point were great to visit and see how life was in the early days.
MONA was amazing, confronting, disorientating.....Lots packed into such a short period of time

An excellent trip well worth a visit. - Our guide Tim is proud of his city and its features. He was very informative and answered our questions. The MONA visit was well worth the time and would recommend it to anyone visiting Tasmania.

Great overview of Hobart - We thoroughly enjoyed the Hobart City tour. Alan our driver/host was very informative and entertaining.
His love of Hobart was obvious as he described the history and landmarks.
A professional and well organised morning.
Thank you.

Nice way to experience Hobart - Great way to get a feel of Hobart. We enjoyed the tour, especially the royal Tasmania garden and cascade stop even though it was raining. The MONA museum is nothing much, we are not so much into modern art but the area is nevertheless very much worth a visit , including the nice ferry ride

Tour of the city and the MONA museum - The bus tour guide was good and the botanical gardens beautiful.
The MONA has a lot of very interesting modern art and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Don't forget to put yourself in the queue for art which can be enjoyed by a few people at a time. I think that part of the museum can easily be missed due to its organization.

Good city tour and trip to Mona - Very good city tour with Mark.
It was interesting seeing the sights of Hobart and how some areas such as Battery Point had been rejuvenated.
We then caught the ferry to Mona and spent a few hours there. The museum was interesting but not to my taste but the whole experience was good.

Great except the Mona. - Everything was really great , tour guide really informative and friendly and great fun, but the only issue was the Mona Museum. A few pieces we liked but the rest were very bad taste.

A good day out - The bus driver/guide was very friendly and funny. We are travelling with a group of Intellectually Disabled adults and we were made to feel very comfortable.
We liked MONA, but thought we were getting a guided tour which wasn't the case. The Ferry ride over was very comfortable.

Modern art extravaganza for young and fit people - This museum is unique but not necessarily in a positive way. The building itself is a piece of art, being carved in the rock. The museum is hard to navigate, especially for older people like us who had to navigate in the dark between running children and strollers. And all info is on an App that we could not bother to download as we are not keen to spend our time on our phone rather than looking at artwork. There are a few interesting things to see between lots of weird or shocking exhibits, reflecting our decadent world.
