Highly recommended tour with great individual tips from the guide - The tour was very individual. We got great tips for a wine tasting and snacks as well as for a brewery. The tour really covered all the highlights with enough individual time to explore. We were also able to explore Bonorong Wildlife Park in a completely relaxed way.

TASMANIA unique and interesting. - Great tour by Nathan of Tazzie Tours booked through VIATOR. Really liked the stop at Bonorong Nature Wildlife Reserve and saw tasmanian devils, echnidea, wombats, snakes and birds. Went to Richmond and then up Mt. Wellington for a nice view. Upon request, stopped at Cascade Brewery, the oldest brewery in Australia on the way back.

Nice and Enjoyable Hobart Highlights Day Trip - A wonderful, enjoyable and educational trip on 22 Mar. The driver cum guide was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and humorous. Only pity was that the weather was not perfect when we were at the top of the Wellington mountain.

Worth money - The view were amazing ,the tour guide was wonderful and has so many knowledge also he stopped us in too many places and lookouts and explained everything to us . Only negative things was the weather when we went to Mount Wellington was raining and cloudy. We didn’t have a chance to see the city on the top but this kind of things you can’t predict it. everything else was super good.

Loved Tassie Tours - We booked Tassie Tours as a shore excursion off of our cruise. We elected the highlights tour. It was wonderful. Tassie Tours was very communicative both via text and email. We knew exactly were to meet our guide. The highlight of the tour was Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Mt Wellington. Our driver was informative along the way and did a great job. We would MOST definitely recommend Tassie Tours!

Excellent intro to Hobart and environs - Highly recommend. - A day very well spent! A fantastic way to see many important Hobart sites in limited time - enough to show us that we love Hobart and Tasmania. From Salamanca Market to the “Big Stick” atop Mt. Wellington. Tour allows just enough time in each location, although it was difficult to get lunch in Richmond AND have time leftover for sightseeing. We got wonderful pix and learned much about Hobart, Tasmania, biology, history, geology, and even linguistics (How is “gaol” pronounced?) and beer (Cascades Brewery). Many kudos to tour guide Mark, who did a fabulous job keeping us on track, entertained, and well informed over a full day’s tour. Does this guy ever get a break to eat or grab a cup of coffee? The company needs to find more like him! He kept a running commentary all the way up to the summit of Mt. Wellington, where we had stunning views. He told us the story of the Hobart bridge disaster. He was flexible enough to meet us on the other side of Richmond bridge so that we could get pictures while group was returning from lunch. At Bonorong, He told us to look for the “white wallaby”, showed us where to feed wallabies from our hands, and even led my physical therapist wife to the surgical observation room where she was captivated by surgery and anesthesia on a bat.

Great day for a great price! Ask for Mark! - This tour was a great way to see the best parts of Hobart and learn more about the history and culture of Tasmania. Our tour guide was Mark and he was phenomenal - very funny and knowledgeable and he even learned the names of everyone in our group!

was interesting sights... - was interesting sights but I'm not sure I would call it sights of Hobart. Most stops were not in the city. Salamanca markets were good, lookout stop was a waste of time, Richmond was good but not enough time if we need to include lunch stop. Marc was an interesting and knowledgeable guide and he managed to remember names quite well. But, I did not appreciate using our names repeatedly to make sure we were paying attention to what he was saying. It made me feel like I was in school and a teacher was checking up on me.
