Wonderful day trip with a minibus. We've seen a lot: Animal park, architecture, great viewpoints and great views from the mountain. The driver and guide imparted a lot of knowledge.
Sky was an excelent driver the tour completed in time. Great tour guide, polite, friendly and shared interesting facts for the places we visited.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.
This was a great one-day tour while visiting for a few days from the U.S.! Without renting a car, I was able to see some of the highlights outside the city with a very knowledgeable guide. I was lucky with a very small group this day, which made it even better. If I’m back I’ll try out another one!
Glad the tour worked so well for your visit and that the group made it even better. Hope to welcome you back again!
Awesome day out hosted by Skye. Thank you for showing us around and answering our many questions. Tour is well organised and covers key attractions without feeling rushed. Very enjoyable experience and would recommend others to book :)
Happy to hear you enjoyed the day and felt it was well paced and informative. Hope to see you again soon!
I was fortunate enough to join this tour with an unusually small group of people. My tour guide, Steve, was fantastic. He explained all sights in detail and shared a lot of his own insights. He even took me to purchase leatherwood honey! Weather was great too that day. Anyway, for this kind of tour, having a great tour guide is the key and I was lucky enough to have Steve!
Thank you for the review! We are pleased that you had an enjoyable day exploring and learning about Hobart.
What a wonderful time we had Tammy(I hope I spelled it correctly) our tour guide was friendly, professional, and very helpful We felt like family in the the van which was comfortable and clean I had a tooth infection and without question she stopped and wait for me to get my medication 1 million stars for her Thank you
Thank you for the review! We are glad you had a wonderful time exploring with Tammy! We hope you recovered quickly from your tooth infection! Let us know when you visit Tassie next.
Absolutely amazing fun trip with a great guide mark he was fun knowledgeable and very patient with us shore excursions passengers who were on sea time. Thank you tassie tours highly recommend.
Thank you for the review and recommendation Iann! It sounds as though you had a great day with Mark exploring Hobart's most popular landmarks. Let us know when you visit Tassie next! Cheers, Tassie Tours
Booked the half day but ended up doing the full day tour which was so worth it! Mark was an awesome host, a wealth of knowledge and a talent for remembering names. We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and this tour! Would highly recommend.
Thanks for the review Gina! It sounds like you had a great day exploring and learning with Mark Cheers, Tassie Tours
Wildlife hospital particularly disappointing and overpriced unexpected extra on this trip. Not in tour description.
Hi Susan, Thanks for your review. We are sorry that the tour was disappointing. The wildlife sanctuary isn't included in this tour. You were in fact told that the nipaluna tour didn't have enough people to operate but we could provide a similar tour which included the wildlife sanctuary. Normally people love the up close experience with our unique Australian animals but we understand it isn't for everyone. Should you ever come back to Tassie please let me know I'd love to offer you a free tour to Bruny island or Port Arthur tour to make up for it. Regards Patrick
Joey, our guide, was fantastic. Lots of great information about Tasmania and Hobart….a passionate local and a great bloke. We were pretty lucky as we had a private tour. The bus is very comfortable and the tour takes you to all the places that it promises. Great day out. Good value for money. Thank you 😊
