Great trip. Seeing the remoteness of the N and W of Tasmania contrasted with the very different side on the NE and S.
Waking up in Cradle Mountain to snow and freezing temperatures will remain a highlight of the trip, closely followed by Launceston’s Cataract Gorge optional cruise which included a wine tasting! Very difficult to select highlights!
I like the fact that Margaret, the very knowledgable guide, gave us a variety of information on the history including convict background to Sarah Island and Port Arthur, human geography, agriculture etc and makes the area really come alive.
I have to congratulate Jess and Picture This for a fantastic experience in booking the flights today.
Jess was FANTASTIC. She was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in explaining everything I wanted to know along with being courteous and extremely professional. It was a pleasure having her on the other end of the phone helping me make a decision on booking my Christmas presents.
She went beyond what one has come to expect from a customer service representative in this day and age, and I have to say I have booked two flights with Picture This based fully around Jess's friendly and professional manner.
I went from hoping to make some polite enquiries of a number of different companies to booking and paying for two people on flights with your company simply due to her pleasant manner. The whole process including receiving my e-ticket was completed within the space of one call.
Please pass on my comments to Jess and thank her for helping make the process so easy.
is a wonderful tour guide.
Knowledgeable , passionate about her homeland history and a very good storyteller.
She does an excellent job.
Perhaps less time on tour for city sights ( homes etc) and more interesting
landscapes could be incorporated into the itinerary.
