A great day out

We did the convict port Arthur tour, the scenery was just spectacular and our guide Julian was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. We tasted some awesome local wines and were absolutely spellbound by the incredible beauty of the Tasman Peninsula.

We are a group of 5 couples taking the Carnival Legend to Tasmania. The itinerary described that we will arrive Hobart on 1 Feb at around 8 am and depart at 5 pm. It's our first time to Tasmania. Would you suggest a tour for us and the price.
