A well-thought-through three-day itinerary that brings something new each day. The fully guided format means everything is taken care of, no queuing for tickets, and the Port Arthur cruise is included, which is a nice touch. One of the unexpected perks is that the group changes from day to day, so you end up meeting more people than on a standard group tour. The guides also rotate, and each one brings genuine enthusiasm and knowledge for their area. Booking everything as a package is also far more convenient than arranging each day individually. Personal highlights: Salamanca Market, Mt Wellington, and Bruny Island. A great way to see Hobart’s best in three days.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the mix of tours and guides across the three days, and that the itinerary made exploring Tassie easy and enjoyable. Hope to welcome you back again.
On April 10, we joined the Port Arthur, Tasman Sights, and Harbour Cruise tour with Tassie Tours Tasmania, and it was easily one of the finest guided experiences I’ve had in decades of traveling around the world. Our guide, Rob, was exceptional in every sense of the word. His depth of knowledge, his calm professionalism, his timing, his humor, and his ability to read the group were all world class. He delivered history with clarity, stories with heart, and logistics with absolute precision. Every one of the 13 guests on our tour voiced the same sentiment: Rob is simply one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Tassie Tours itself deserves equal praise for seamless communication, thoughtful pacing, comfortable transport, and a well designed itinerary that showcases the very best of Tasmania’s heritage and natural beauty. If you’re visiting Hobart and want a tour operator that combines professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for Tasmania, Tassie Tours and Rob are as good as it gets.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the tour and that Rob made such a strong impression with his knowledge and professionalism. It means a lot to hear our itinerary and service helped make your time in Tassie memorable. Hope to welcome you back again someday.
Great three days, each guide so friendly and full of information, clearly passionate about their homeland. Tour size perfect- each group mixed making solo travellers to feel welcome.
We appreciate your kind words. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the three days and felt welcomed throughout the tour. We are glad you joined us and hope to see you again soon.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad you had a different feel for each tour and enjoyed all days! Hope to see you back at Tassie.
The itinerary in the website for this package was not really what we got in some tours - there were places listed in the itinerary in the website which the tour guides did not take us to. If what is advertised differs from the actual tour, it should be communicated prior to us.
All 3 day tours were excellent. I must give special mention to Gray who took us on the Saturday Hobart highlights tour which included a morning at the markets and the views at Mount Wellington. Also the guide Rob who took us to the Port Arthur Historic site. We also stopped for some breathtaking views that are the most stunning I have ever seen. Tassie tours were well organised and good value. The guides know their history and we learnt a lot we never knew. Loved Hobart and will be back for sure.
Thanks for sharing a detailed review!
