We begin the day with our city loop tour where we will provide guided commentary as we explore the streets of Hobart and visit its major attractions and landmarks. Our first destination is the awe-inspiring kunanyi, also known as Mt. Wellington, where you can indulge in the renowned pristine air of Tasmania. Ascend to the pinnacle at 1272m and be mesmerized by the breathtaking panoramic view of Hobart and its picturesque surroundings. Don’t miss the opportunity to capture the perfect Instagram-worthy selfie against this stunning backdrop of Hobart and beyond.
Next, we’ll venture to the renowned Salamanca Market, available on Saturdays only. This world-class market showcases the very best of Tasmanian culture, offering a delightful array of art, local produce, talented buskers, unique souvenirs, refreshing beverages, and much more!
After exploring the market’s offerings for 75 minutes, we will continue our journey through the scenic Coal River Valley wine region. This region is renowned for its reward winning cool climate wines. Along the way, we will make a quick stop at the acclaimed Wicked Cheese, where you can enjoy a complimentary cheese sampling and an opportunity to purchase some local produce from the farm gate cafe. Then, we will proceed to the historic township of Richmond, which is rich in convict history and showcases magnificent sandstone and colonial buildings. Here, you will have the opportunity to admire Australia’s oldest bridge and Catholic church. Richmond is also home to numerous charming eateries, making it the perfect spot for our lunch break. Additionally, we highly recommend visiting the Drink Tasmania Tasting House, where you can indulge in tastings of the region’s finest wines, whisky, and local produce.
To conclude our adventure-filled day, we’ll visit the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Get up close and personal with the friendly kangaroos and other fascinating Tasmanian and Australian wildlife. Don’t miss the chance to witness the famous Tasmanian Devil, a true highlight even for locals!

I will be booking with Tassie Tours again- supporting local family businesses is important. Thanks Yvonne R
Our host, Skye, was absolutely wonderful. She had so much knowledge about Port Arthur and the surrounding areas, and you could really feel her passion for Tasmania and its history. It made for a fantastic and very enjoyable tour.
But what really showed us the level of service Tassie Tours provides happened after the tour. I accidentally left my bag on the bus with my credit cards and driver’s licence inside. 😳 I rang them as soon as I realised, and within an hour they had located it and contacted me.
By 8:30 the next morning, they had delivered my bag straight back to me! What amazing service and such wonderful people. 👏
I cannot praise Tassie Tours enough. From booking, to the tour itself, to going above and beyond afterwards, the whole experience was exceptional.
A huge thank you to Skye and the Tassie Tours team. We would definitely tour with you again and highly recommend you to anyone visiting Tasmania. ❤️
Great day! Was my last favorite of the 4 but I'm glad I did it because it's a different part of Tasmania than the other 3 days. Beautiful countryside and great stops.
Smallest group on this tour so I enjoyed that.
Hobart Highlights- Guide: Mark
Started at Salamanca Market. Bummer that Mt Wellington road was closed so we did not get to go up. We drove up as far as we could and played in the snow but I was looking forward to the lookout view. At Richmond, I went through the jail on my own and enjoyed being at my own pace; there were only a couple people besides me there. Bonorong was great feeding the kangaroos!!!
Port Arthur- Guide: Mark again
I will advise that there's not enough time at Port Arthur to properly see it on this tour, so if you're someone who wants to go in each building, read all the signs, listen to the guides, look their the museum, and do the ferry, there's not enough time!!! For most people who just want to see it, it's probably enough time for you but I was overwhelmed with how much I missed. I do recommend the ferry since it goes around Isle of the Dead and they're talking through the ride. If you get nauseous, go stand outside though (it's a VERY smooth, short ride, with bakery/cafe/ coffee items to purchase on board)
Bruny Island- Guide: Pascal
My favorite tour! My favorite guide!
Great day, we had great weather! Very knowledgeable about the plants/animals and history/people. Lucky to see 4 white wallabies.
I highly recommend Tassie Tours! So easy, bringing you right back where they picked you up. They take care of you and give you time at each stop. They ARE PUNCTUAL so if they say they'll be there at 7:06, they really mean 7:06! No problems at all. All super great and knowledgeable guides.
Side note: on my last day I did a great tour on my own at the Hobart Female Factory.
Would recommend to people of all ages!
I would definitely recommend to friends.

Huge thanks to our amazing guide and driver, Gray, for making this trip so wonderful. Throughout the whole journey, he shared so much practical information, and the pace of the entire itinerary was incredibly smooth.
The real highlight of his exceptional service happened at the very end. I completely spaced out and missed the first drop-off at the Launceston Transit Centre. Gray was an absolute lifesaver! He went above and beyond to make sure I still caught my connecting bus right on time. Truly grateful for his kindness and professionalism, highly recommend him!

Highly recommend Pascal!
(Port Arthur, Tasman Sights and Harbour Cruise, Jun. 2026)
He was incredibly punctual for all the pick-ups and drop-offs, which made the logistics completely stress-free. What really set this tour apart was his extensive knowledge; he provided so much deep insight into Port Arthur and all the different attractions around Hobart.
On top of that, Pascal has a fantastic sense of humor that kept the entire journey lively, engaging, and never boring. It was a thoroughly satisfying and enriching experience. Thank you, Pascal, for such a memorable trip!
Jodi made our tour experience lots of fun and very intetesting with all her kmowledge.
I found Tassi tours to be very professional and wouldnt hesitate booking another tour with Jodi as my tour guide.

I just finished the Bruny Island tour today (Thursday, 9th April), and honestly, I am still buzzing!
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day was so seamlessly planned. But what truly made the experience was our guide, Brunzy. He was the absolute standout—incredibly informative, organized, and he went above and beyond to ensure every single person had the best day possible.
By the end of the tour, I didn’t feel like just another tourist; I felt like I’d spent the day with a local friend. Brunzy, thank you so much for the laughs and the hospitality! And don't forget... you have to try that rum!
I cannot recommend Tassie Tours highly enough. If you’re in Tasmania, do yourself a favour and book a trip with them.

We did a full‑day tour that started with a beautiful ferry ride over to the island and then turned into a perfect mix of food, walks and views. Our first stop was Get Shucked for takeaway oysters : plump, fresh, with a light Asian dressing, which we carried up the wooden stairs to The Lookout. Sitting at the top, slurping oysters while looking out over that incredible coastline, was one of those “pinch me, is this real?” moments. (There is a loo down there, but it’s a very basic long‑drop style, so be prepared!)
From there we wandered into the lush fern forests of Mavista. It genuinely felt like walking onto a Lord of the Rings set , cool, green and quiet , and we even spotted a shy Tassie Devil on our easy hike.
The day is also a joy if you love food. We stopped at the Bruny Island Honey store, which is a sweet little spot, and the Bruny Baker roadside fridge , the sourdough aroma alone is worth it. Lunch was relaxed and satisfying, and afterwards we visited a gorgeous little cove where you can swim, so definitely pack a swimsuit and a towel if the weather is kind.
We finished at the local chocolaterie, which for us was the only slightly “meh” stop in an otherwise amazing day , everything else more than made up for it.
All in all, the tour was beautifully paced and showed off just how stunning and special Bruny Island is. Go! You will love this tour. Steve took us and he was great
We had a nice day.
However, she offered very limited information while driving and did not go with the guests on the first stop, she just pointed (it was raining, maybe she did not want to get wet). The final stop she walked with us after our request, but did not add any information during the walk to the wildlife refuge.
This was not so much a round as a bur ride to 3 areas in Hobart.
But overall great experience and my tour guide Sky was very informative and engaging :)
The food on Bruny is insane! I cannot recommend you try the oysters more highly. Best in the world. The beautiful lagoon we stopped at for a swim was so idyllic and the water was actually way warmer than I expected it to be - don't forget your bathers!
I loved how you could 'choose your own adventure' on the Wineglass Bay tour. I chose to walk down the 1000 steps to the beach and WOW! I'm so glad I did. What a spectacular part of the world. I cannot recommend these tours more highly 😍
A little piece of paradise for sure.
Highly recommend
We booked the full day (10 hour) tour to Bruny Island and it was an amazing experience. The directions for meet up were clear and the driver was on time. The coffee and breakfast options at the ferry were delicious and we enjoyed getting out of the car on the ferry ride over. Every stop was intentional and informative. We walked a lot and had the option to enjoy great food and snacks along the way. Our driver brought us to some amazing beaches and his guidance and humor was top notch. The memories and photos we have of our day will be cherished. Thank you, Andrew, for a great time!
Thumb up to him, and thankfully we have seen some wildlife here in Tasmania.
As well as we do enjoy the history about Australia and Tasmania.
Yeah, we have a good wrap up for our tour with really delicious oysters.
Great plan and heartfully thanks, and appreciate for Nathan's plan.
Best regards, Amy from Singapore.
Beautiful views, good food, wild nature and great talks!
I would highly recommend it
