Day 1 of the tour involved me being picked up at The Rydges Hotel in Hobart at 07:00. The day included Pirates Bay, Waterfall Bay, Tasmanian Unzoo, Port Arthur Historic Site, Harbour Cruise, Chocolate Factory visit, Richmond & Hobart Lookout. Throughout the day my driver, Connor was a font of knowledge. He was extremely friendly and went the extra mile to make sure the day was a complete success.
