Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Battery Point Sculpture Trail, Hobart, Tasmania Australia

Soak up the elegance, beauty and history of this quiet and exclusive area that was once farmland known as Cottage Green. This tour includes Arthurs Circus and is full of stories including dubious property dealings by Governor Arthur, the fall of the carousing Reverend Knopwood and the ship building tycoon Alexander MacGregor whose finest of grand Georgian homes still stands today.

Battery Point is best appreciated at a leisurely pace on foot with a guide who can bring to life how wealth flowed into Battery Point from the influx of trade and the British Royal Navy shipping timber, wool and rum from the Salamanca docks and warehouses.

This easy walking tour starts at Parliament House and ends in Salamanca Square. Don’t forget to ask your guide for recommendations for places you can go after the tour to buy souvenirs, food and beverages.

Using Tasmania.com to organise our holiday was a great move. Traci was so helpful, the whole process so easy and we had the best trip! Highly recommended, really didn’t have to do any planning of our own, everything was covered for us with so many suggestions of things to do, places to eat etc.

I went on a 7-day Tassie exploring self-guided tour with Tasmania.com, and it has been a great experience. The plan was detailed with lots of options. Accommodation and car rent were good, and the staff were friendly. We were taken care of from the beginning until the end, so I highly recommend others traveling to Tassie to try the website.

We usually arrange our own itineraries when travelling, however, the arrangements Jacki suggested and then arranged, proved to be so helpful. I would definitely use Jacki again in the future.

Our trip was really well organised. The standard of accommodation was great. We had numerous great suggestions to stop and look at while we were driving. We would definitely use a self drive trip again.

Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania. Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle. Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection. A huge thank you from both of us.
