Brendan was an excellent guide. As a solo traveller not sure where to go in Tasmania, we were taken to the best spots for some unbelievable scenery and met some great friends along the way. You can’t go wrong with this tour.
The hikes were very good, but could have been longer. Cradle Mountain was great and fun, and the Wineglass Bay Walk was also great.
Very varied tour – Evans was a good driver and very attentive – he responded to all requests
Evan Thomas was a fantastic guide, full of fun facts & dad jokes, making the trip very fun & in my opinion making us all feel included. The variety of experiences was great, including experiencing small towns and learning local history & when hiking was involved a good range of options were given to fit differences in ability. The Bonorong Sanctuary is in my opinion a must see & the Cradle hike is also well worth the time, effort & money. Considering Tasmania is so amazing, experiencing it as a group on a coach such as this is in my opinion great financially, time wise & socially as you get to know others and experience things together. I stayed in the dormitory accomidation and found them to be great, plenty of space and only one night we shared with individuals not on the trip. The Bicheno accomidation in particular was fantastic. All in all, as a solo or couple/ group travelling Tasmania with a week(maybe 10 days) I cannot think of a better way to experience Tasmania
This tour was perfect for discovering all the riches of Tasmania! Anthony was attentive to recommending places to eat and have a coffee at each stop, and his passion for Tasmania and its history was very tangible and therefore very enjoyable. Thanks again to him!
