Great tours and superb guide - Hugo.
My daughter and I did three day tours in and around Hobart. We had Hugo ( and Rosco) as our guide for all three days. He was an absolute delight and wealth of knowledge. I particularly enjoyed his jokes! Perfect service from start to finish and very enjoyable tours.
Operator response
Hi Dean918, a fantastic review! Thank you. It is great to hear such positive feedback for Hugo, one of our most passionate driver/guides. We are delighted to have him in our team. We'd love to see you on board again in the future.

NOT WHAT WE BOOKED
Disappointed to say the least!!! We booked this for our family as our boys love trains etc and we thought this would be a fun and novel way to see some of the sites of Hobart. When we arrived we were told our coach would be a large white bus, when I said that wasn’t what I booked I was told by the staff member at the booking desk “oh when we have more than 25 people booked we move to a large coach”. When we got on the bus our driver told everyone the tram coach was in for repair. VERY MISLEADING! None of the info mentions the possible change of vehicle due yo numbers and we were not given an opportunity for a refund. The tour itself was ok. Commentary average. If we had known we wouldn’t be on the tram coach we would have booked elsewhere.
