Awesome day. Mark was so knowledgeable on the history of the region and nailed the timing and order of sites we visited. We could not recommend this tour highly enough.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the day and that the tour was well timed and easy to enjoy. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie again.
The views from Mt. Wellington were amazing. In Richmond make sure to have a scallop pie at the bakery. Bonorong sanctuary was a great stop as well with Tasmanian devils and kangaroo feeding. Andrew did a great job of giving us the highlights of Hobart and good commentary on all of the places we past.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We're pleased you enjoyed the views from Mt Wellington, Bonorong, and the stop in Richmond. Hope to see you again.
Mark is so knowledgeable! I learnt facts I never would have learnt if I went by myself. The experience was also not rigid. We are allowed to step out of the van on our own and explore each place to our liking for around 1.5h. So that gave everyone on the trip a chance to connect with each other too. I would definitely book other tours with them!
Thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed learning from Mark and appreciated the relaxed style of the tour. We are glad you joined us and hope to see you again soon.
He was a very kind and experienced guide and we had a great day. Bruni Island in autumn, with its foliage, is a quiet, naturally rich place, with some beautiful beaches, and the raw oysters from there were exceptionally delicious.
Great tour with very knowledgeable guide and driver. Visited Mount Wellington, wildlife farm, Richmond and Hobart highlights
Thanks for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing Hobart’s highlights and had a great day with your guide. Hope to see you again in Tassie.
Thanks for an awesome day exploring your beautiful city. So much seen, from mountains to animals, Tammy was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable. Booking process and confirmations great! Highly recommended!! 👌
Thanks for your kind words. We’re pleased you enjoyed exploring Hobart and that Tammy made the day even better. Hope to welcome you back again.
Good and lots of information. Pleasant climate. Quiet pace with times to enjoy fully.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the information, the relaxed pace and the overall experience. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.
Skyr was a lovely driver with a sweet personality. I wish she would have given us more information about Hobart and Tasmania as we drove. She gave us some information when we got to the destinations, but not much commentary as we drove past many places. The Borango reserve was interesting and what a unique experience feeding the Roos. Unfortunately it rained so our view at the top of the mountain was cloudy and we really didn’t see anything.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are glad you enjoyed parts of the day, especially the wildlife experience, and we appreciate your comments about the commentary and weather. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.
Skye was very pleasant, but she did not offer a guided tour. However, she offered very limited information while driving and did not go with the guests on the first stop, she just pointed (it was raining, maybe she did not want to get wet). The final stop she walked with us after our request, but did not add any information during the walk to the wildlife refuge. This was not so much a round as a bur ride to 3 areas in Hobart.
Beautiful day and experience! Our host Mark was fantastic, his knowledge and patience was incredible
Thank you for sharing this. We are glad you enjoyed the day and that Mark’s knowledge and patience made it memorable. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.
