Amazing tour with great prices! Paul was so knowledgeable and made us feel like a local. Not only…read moredid he take us to some really unique and fun destinations but he provided tips to maximize our experience and would follow up to make sure we had a great time. I highly recommend that you leverage a full 7 hour tour with him and provide some conceptual ideas of what you want to see. Paul will take care of the rest. At one point Paul walked us into the animal reserve, checked the pricing to make sure we got a group deal, and then gave us the lay of the land before we started our walking tour. He was so kind and helpful. Also, make sure you don't miss the mountain. It's worth the trip up and the pictures are fantastic! We bonded with Paul by the end of our time together and from both his perspective and ours, it was the best experience of our trip and of his season. He was such a pleasure! FYI the prices were more than fair, especially compared to the other vendors. We came in on a cruise and this was 1/3 the price for half the tour.

One of the most relaxing and engaging tours I've been on! The price was great. The experience was…read moreamazing. The tour guide, Paul M...I can't say enough about. The banter, information, and kindness Paul shared sets him apart. An all around delightful and truly amazing person. The story...if you're so inclined: A group of us (about 17) were embarking on a 12 day cruise. Hobart was port three of five and about eight days into our journey. We had just spent three days at sea due to Cyclone Gita interrupting our final port call (Christchurch) in New Zealand. In case you haven't been on a cruise, three days in mild to rough seas will leave you irritable and exhausted. I got off the ship early, breezed through customs, and began searching for a tour guide. I noticed a sole gentleman, Paul, setting up for the morning and approached him. He was kind, inviting, and extremely knowledgeable. We quickly worked out a deal that would include a private guide (Paul) and van accommodating up to ten to anywhere we would like to go. We could leave immediately (8:30/9am) and would be back by 3:30pm...just in time to be back on board by 4:30pm. The van was clean, well maintained, comfortable, and spacious. Bless. Eight of us joined the excursion with promise to also cover the remaining two slots (so worth it). Paul waited patiently with me while our crew gathered themselves and made it off the ship. At this point, other tour guides were setting up as well. I realized how fortunate I was to have met Paul as I overheard insane price gouging and confusing tour schedules being offered to my fellow cruise members...almost double the price for half the excursion! Booking through the cruise was near triple the cost! The tour began. First stop, breakfast. Paul took us to a lovely bakery in town. Gorgeous food and friendly staff...most welcome after three days of the buffet line. Second stop, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. A five star experience and the chance to feed/pet numerous kangaroos! Third stop, a quick pint and nosh at a local pub. Fourth stop, Festa Italia in North Hobart. An Italian food and wine street festival set in quaint part of town. Fifth stop, breathtaking views of the bay and surrounding area atop Mount Wellington. We made it back on time, without issue, and feeling very relaxed. We are a boisterous but prompt and compliant group. =) Thank you again to Paul and the Let's Show You Tasmania tour company. You guys were awesome! Cheers!

The Tench guided tour is well worth a stroll for tourists and locals, alike. I fall somewhere in…read morethe middle there, being that I'm a local but have only been for the last five years, and I love learning about Hobart (although I don't really actively seek it out much these days). Sometimes working in the industry gives me perks like visits to tours like this for free, and sometimes people are slack and don't book these tours and I end up getting an almost-personal (there was one other lady) tour on a drizzly Saturday morning. The Penitentiary is owned by the National Trust, and enthusiastic volunteers run guided tours through the remains of the building, giving you a history lesson at the same time. It's close to the centre of town, which is a bit amazing when you learn about the history of the place. The Tench as it stands is the remains of what held the convicts that were brought to Hobart, before becoming Hobart's gaol, before finally being closed down in the 1960s. Only bits of the original Penitentiary remain, and only bits of those bits remain (the Chapel building is the most remarkable and it's had certain bits and pieces pulled/knocked down, as people did a lot before realising how important it can be to preserve history). You get to hear about the full evolution of the space over the years, with a rather grim ending at the hanging corner. It was an hour absolutely well spent and if you're taking the time to visit Port Arthur on an historic bender then you'd best look after yourself and add a visit to the Tench as well.

Avoid this hop on, hop off tour bus. Why:…read more They randomly cancel tours and offer no notice, explanation or apology (even though they have your email address if you bought tickets online). When you do manage to actually catch a tour much later, the bus stops inexplicably long at stops where there's nothing to see, because the driver has to spend a lot of time hand writing receipts and doing ticket sales. There also aren't significant sights worth seeing. This is the worst hop on, hop off bus I've seen in 30ish countries (and many more cities).

Ny knee was touching the seat in front of me, and I noticed someone else had the same issues. the seats were worn with one of the bench seats seat belts broken. no usb to charge my iPhone so asked the driver if he had one I could use. I noticed that tge dash looked worn out too, with the usb a loose fit, and not convinced it charged very much at all. what really bothered me though was the seat belts broken situation. the motor sounded a bit tough too. a couple of days later, I was on tour with another of their buses. still no usb. my seat belts broken situation was okay this time. I'd also like to say that in the first bus I went on, the drive, although friendly enough , told us the rules including about using seat belts, also told us he was passing on what we should be doing but he wasn't the police of them, so if we didn't, then he wasn't going to horse us. I told him about my seat belt too. he said he'd have to look at it, but no more was said. I sat somewhere else, at the next stop.
