Overview
This tour is specifically tailored for cruise ship passengers.
We begin the day with our city loop tour where we will provide guided commentary as we explore the streets of Hobart and visit its major attractions and landmarks.
Next, we'll venture to the renowned Salamanca Market, available on Saturdays only. This world-class market showcases the very best of Tasmanian art, local produce, talented buskers, and much more!
