What to expect
You'll spend the morning circling Hobart's waterfront and historic neighbourhoods by minivan, stopping to stretch legs at key points: the markets (Saturdays), Battery Point's sandstone cottages, and the Cascade Brewery vantage. Mid-tour, head uphill to kunanyi for 360-degree views and a walk about the plateau. Afternoon takes you inland to Richmond, a quieter colonial village with pubs, galleries, and a working gaol to explore solo. Commentary happens on board; the guide won't shepherd you through each site but provides context and timing.
