Excellent Service and pleasant tour guide. Very well-spoken.

The morning tour prior to going to MONA was excellent. The tour guide/bus driver was extremely knowledgeable. His driving was good and safe. The stories that were told were very interesting especially the history of Hobart. The boat from Hobart to MONA was excellent and the museum did not let us down with the exhibits. Will recommend this tour to anyone.

A great and informative tour of the city and surrounds

A great and informative tour of the city and surrounds. Easy transition from tour to MONA transport. Plenty of time allocated for both the city tour and to get to and explore MONA. Thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. Will recommend to family and friends.
