Tour of the city and the MONA museum - The bus tour guide was good and the botanical gardens beautiful. The MONA has a lot of very interesting modern art and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Don't forget to put yourself in the queue for art which can be enjoyed by a few people at a time. I think that part of the museum can easily be missed due to its organization.

Great overview of the Hobart City - Small tour of 9 in modern bus around the the highlights areas of Hobart plus ….those back streets where large buses can’t go. Took my mother and our Guide, Peter Warren, went above and beyond to cater for the whole group. Having a mature local guide who has lived in Hobart for over 30 years gave us the opportunity to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the city and its deep rich history. Having a passionate guide was a real bonus. Thanks -Sharon and Sandra

Mind Blowing - A highlight of a visit to Hobart is MONA. Take the ferry and give yourself a full day to enjoy this incredible smorgasbord of old and new art, antiquities and mind altering exhibits. Quite the best cultural and immersive experience we've ever had. Give yourself extra time to enjoy jazz on the roof of MONA and try the BBQ Wallaby steak the eatery has on offer. The views are spectacular and the ferry ride so much fun. Kudos to David Walsh for creating this extraordinary Harry Potter-like experience for the lucky folk that make the effort to go to MONA. We have not stopped discussing, thinking about and talking about the sights and sounds found inside this unique emporium of culture/art/antiquity/madness/literature etc. BRAVO DAVID!!

Great except the Mona. - Everything was really great , tour guide really informative and friendly and great fun, but the only issue was the Mona Museum. A few pieces we liked but the rest were very bad taste.

A good day out - The bus driver/guide was very friendly and funny. We are travelling with a group of Intellectually Disabled adults and we were made to feel very comfortable. We liked MONA, but thought we were getting a guided tour which wasn't the case. The Ferry ride over was very comfortable.

Thumbs up to guide. - The tour guide showing us around Hobart was the saving grace. That part of the tour was informative and guide was friendly and knowledgeable. MONA itself was very underwhelming, I left earlier than I intended.

A worthwhile trip - Well organised, interesting & the guide was easygoing and eager to please. The ferry to Mona ( as well as the outing) are unusual, weird, yet a fascinating must see.
