Excellent, and great value

This tour was excellent. We liked the idea of a small group tour and it was great value. John is an exceptional guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing, is outstanding. We were always well looked after, had any questions answered and enjoyed chatting with John. Our vehicle was always clean and ready to go and we always knew what our agenda was going to be.

A fabulous Tassie road trip

Thank you for arranging the itinerary for us. We enjoyed it immensely, feeling, in the end, it really was a taster for many more trips in the future. The devil experience was a real highlight … our son really enjoyed it … as was lunch at Bangor vineyard and the Marakoopa cave tour! And of course amazing food, wine and gin along the way.

Exactly what we wanted

We loved the food / gin / whisky tour. It was exactly what we wanted.

Would highly recommend

We wanted to experience the natural environment of Tasmania, and learn more about its history and wildlife. Our guide was THE BEST! He was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and responsive to our pace and questions.
