Skye was a pleasant and informative guide who made the best of an unfortunate weather day.
Thank you for sharing this. We are glad Skye helped make the most of the day and kept it informative despite the weather. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.
This was a great shore excursion which covered the highlights of Hobart. We stopped several times en route to Mt Wellington to get spectacular views of the city. The visit to the quaint town of Richmond was a highlight with its beautiful old bridge and buildings. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Thanks for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed the highlights of Hobart and the visit to Richmond. Hope your next visit to Tassie brings more great memories.
I had a delicious meal in Richmond. Such a lovely town to visit with lots of history as well. High concentration of bakeries here offering an amazing choice to choose from. The Salamanca Market is located in an historic area. Well deserved stop. Mt Wellington offers a stunning view of Hobart.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad you saw the beautiful views Mt Wellington has to offer. We hope to see you again.
The trip to Kunanyi (Mt. Wellington) was worth the view. Bring warm clothes and head/ear coverings, as for us it was windy and cold. The clouds came and went, but was worth the trip. Visiting Richmond was great. It is a quiet town and we had a great visit walking the town after visiting their bridge.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We hope to see you back at Tassie.
Because of immigration we were two hours late getting off ship. When we walked out of terminal Tassie Tours was waiting for us
