Awesome - Due to the weather our tour was re purposed and we had a great time learning about the town of Hobart. Updates were continually being given and we were able to ascent Mt Wellington half way which was spectacular . The female factory was an eye opener but beautifully presented.

Wonderful trip from cruise - Hugo was a wonderful tour guide. We probably could have spent more time at the Female Factory, but bought some books to read more about this difficult time in history. Hugo even gave us some wonderful lunch tips! Beautiful views from the top of Mt. Wellington! Much less expensive than cruise ship tour and very easy to find.

Must do! - Recommend the Cascade Female Factory convict jail very interesting. Mt Wellington was so disappointing because the weather turned foul and saw nothing. Hugo our Driver/guide was excellent and informative.

Will be back! - Not a good luck day as Mt. Wellington was closed due to weather (snow). But tour guide Alan walked us along the Spring and told us interesting history and story of Mt Wellington. The Female Factory was worth a visit to know the dark history of the females in the past.

Great Scenery, Not Enough Time - The trip and guide were very good. The reason for four stars is that 30 minutes in the Female Factory is hardly enough time. More time needs to be allotted.
