This was one of the most memorable experiences of my Tasmania trip. Every stop Alex took us to was beautiful, and his commentary along the way was interesting and informative. We were also very lucky with the weather. The sky was clear and beautiful all day, and it didn’t rain at all. Although we visited many locations, there was still plenty of time to walk around, explore, and enjoy the scenery at each stop. I highly recommend this tour. It was excellent value for money

A superb first day in Tasmania experience. Everything went like clockwork, from pick up to drop off! Alex is a fabulous tour guide, providing history, fun insights and excellent recommendations throughout the day. Wineglass Bay is beautiful and worth the excursion! We had a lot of fun hiking to the lookout points. Definitely recommend sturdy walking shoes. We enjoyed our other stops along the way - breakfast cafe, lovely winery for lunch and a stop in Richmond Village for the most divine ice cream and sweets!

The tour van left CBD Hobart around 6:30am. Althougn there is a long van ride until we get to the national park, there are a lot to see beautiful views on the way. Thanksfully, the weather was very clear and sunny when I join this tour. The view from a lookout was perfect. Information from a tour guide helped us enjoy this excursion even more.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the clear weather, and the views from the lookout. Just to mention, we actually departed Hobart just before 7am, right on schedule, which also helps us avoid the busy morning bridge traffic and make the journey smoother for everyone. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you again on another Tasmanian adventure!
