This trip delivered a comprehensive journey around Tasmania with a good balance of time on our own with organised activities. The organised activities were able to be enjoyed by most of those in our group including a couple of folk using walking frames while facilitating the availability of more physical exploring from those of us who wanted that. Both our tour guide and driver were excellent and looked after the diverse group competently and with great care.

Fabulous coverage. Fabulous food & hotels. It was summer but you need to tell your tourists that winter clothes are needed. Tasmania has beautiful natural scenery plus very clean air.

The trip packed a great deal in and there were a lot of ins and outs of the coach and sometimes not quite enough time at some intetesting locations. Itinerary was varied and the Tour Director and local experts were knowledgable. Accommodation wss generally good to very good, with one exception. Meals included were generally good to lovely, with a few exceptions which were poor to average. Free time was enjoyed as it gave me time to do what particularly interested me.

Everything was perfect but what made it the best trip ever was the best tour guide Anna and the equally good coach driver Terry. Once when I had technically left the tour in Melbourne Terry went looking for me to make sure I was alright. Unbelievably kind and caring.

Fantastic trip very knowledgeable guide excellent driver. A great variety of activities very well planned and spaced out. Would recommend a couple of days in Hobart before and after the tour just to explore the city and other options. P s dress for all types of weather

The 5 days gave a good look at Tasmania with some very worthwhile stops of interest. The accommodation was of a high standard with good size rooms. A bit unfortunate that the room in Hobart had a big window that looked out onto a concrete wall about 80cm away. The sites we stopped at were of historic interest. The lavender farm was great but a pity not in flower. Loved the walk to Cape Tourville lighthouse and the views of the coast.
