A Real Hobart Day

This is a great day . The tour of the town in the morning is not all about the obvious - it’s the little special things that only local drivers know . And as for MONA- a terrific wow experience

Great tour and trip to MONA

Tour of the city was very worth while and Mona.While controversial is an explosion of a feelings and emotions that art should bring to everybody. We were overwhelmed and so happy with our experience at Mona. And the entire trip, with our guide in the morning and the accommodations to get us on the Ship to Mona.
