Mark was an incredible tour guide. Filled with knowledge of Tasmania and across the world. We packed in the day with many sights. The bus was comfortable too

Angelam287

This was an awesome tour - and the main reason was Mark our driver / guide. He was awesome / personable / friendly / very very knowledgeable. I will say the Bonrong Sanctuary was great - feeding kangaroos, the animal handlers were great answering questions/ you could tell they loved their job. However, if you have a mobility issue - this would be a hard tour. The walkway was uneven and rocky.

The guide was very helpful and accommodating. It rained all day and was not enjoyable. He made the best of it for us.

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was a great place to visit. Kangaroos , Tasmanian Devils were all there but they were rain soaked as were we. Still enjoyed seeing the animals. This part was on our on without the tour guide and we paid the entry fee. The town of Richmond was nice with many food shops and other shops like antique store etc. The guide tried to show us the views from the highest spots around Hobart but the low clouds and rain won . Still we enjoyed the day.

We had a great time on our tour! The Bonorong Sanctuary was amazing! Feeding kangaroos and observing them hop around was a highlight of the tour! We also enjoyed Mount Wellington although from the top it was really cloudy, we were able to see a good section when the clouds broke! We highly recommend this tour while visiting Hobart!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We were picked up right on time outside the cruise terminal, then had more than enough time at the Salamanca market (our only complaint was that we had maybe too much time there and would have preferred more time elsewhere). We really enjoyed the stop at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where we got to see all sorts of animals, including two Tassie Devils! It's a great facility and what they're doing there is awesome. After that, we were taken to Richmond for our lunch stop. We would have liked a little bit more time there to explore, but we enjoyed lunch and some wonderful ice cream. Then we went to Wicked Cheese for a very brief, but tasty, cheese tasting. Finally, we went up Mt. Wellington to see some spectacular views. It was a great day and we highly recommend this tour for anyone stopping in Hobart on a cruise!

Andrew was awesome. We got to see a lot of Hobart and our guide was very knowledgeable and flexible to allow us to see what we wanted to see.

This was an amazing experience with Tassie Tours. We were picked up at Terminal and meet our tour guide Simon who was friendly and chatty bloke. As we drove to our destinations Simon gave wonderful insight on his knowledge of Hobart. We just didn't go to the 5 places on the list as Simon drove around Hobart's streets and showed many sights that would of been fantastic to visit if time allowed but thrilled we got to experience the sights. Simon gave us plenty of time at each destination and we never felt rushed throughout the day. Would highly recommend this company and would use them again for a tour of Tassie. Thankyou ❤️

Went to summit Richmond Cascade brewery then bollonwong wildlife sanctuary to see the Tasmanian devils!! Brilliant trip! Thankyou

On our Australia cruise we decided to book the Hobart Highlights Day Tour with Tassie Tours and were glad we did so. We were only a small group of 4 people and had a wonderful day. Our nice and friendly tourguide picked us up from the port on time. After an interesting city loop she took us first to the Bonorong wildlife sanctuary, then to Richmond and further up to Mount Wellington. We were lucky with the weather that day and could enjoy a magnificent view. Thanks again for the excellent tour.
