Summary:
We thoroughly enjoyed our Hobart Wanderer tour with Hans. Each stop was great. We had lots of time to enjoy Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (and beat the cruise crowds!). The lunch stop in Richmond was lovely. Then came the interesting drive up to the top of Mount Wellington to enjoy the amazing views from there. Hans gave us so much interesting information all along the way. He is a great ambassador for the company and for Tasmania! Thank you so much, Hans!

Summary:
My wife and I enjoyed our experience on this tour. We had a great tour guide (Paul) who gave excellent commentary over the course of the tour. We got to see much of the countryside as we traveled from the cruise port to a animal sanctuary, a historic town, and Mt. Wellington. We had plenty of time in each stop.
