Great day trip in Tasmania
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.

Getting to know Tassie
Sky was an excelent driver the tour completed in time. Great tour guide, polite, friendly and shared interesting facts for the places we visited.
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your experience! Hope to welcome you back to Tassie in the future.

Great one-day tour for a short visit
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!
Operator response
Glad the tour worked so well for your visit and that the group made it even better. Hope to welcome you back again!

A Great Overview of Hobart with A Great Tour Guide - Steve
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!
Operator response
Thank you for the review! We are pleased that you had an enjoyable day exploring and learning about Hobart.

Highlight of our trip
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.

Okay
Wildlife hospital particularly disappointing and overpriced unexpected extra on this trip. Not in tour description.
Operator response
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
