Despite the weather, (wasn’t ideal) our tour guide Andrew made the day a memorable one. The wildlife park was great, managed to see a Tassie Devil. Richmond is very pretty - well worth a visit. Bus was comfortable and Andrew shared a wealth of knowledge about the history of the island. Highly recommend Tassie Tours. Their booking system is easy to navigate, pricing competitive and communication is clear.
Thanks for sharing your review. We're glad Andrew made the day memorable despite the weather, and that you enjoyed Bonorong, Richmond, and his local knowledge. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.

Sky is our driver and tour guide. She is knowledgeable and patient. We make to Mt Wellington in the afternoon instead of morning due to the weather. It is worth and she makes the trip very comfortable and safe. Strongly recommended.
