    Although the five-day itinerary was very tight, I would still like to express my deep gratitude to our tour guide-Evan, for his patience and organization from start to finish. He arranged each day's schedule in the most optimal and perfect way. It is not easy to satisfy all 24 people in the group. These five days were the best, most exhausting, and most fulfilling days I’ve had in Tasmania.

  • Fast paced, see it all

    I strongly recommend this tour. The food, locations, and arrangements were all excellent. It was so relaxing, and I got a real sense of Tasmania's vastness. Our tour guide, Evan, was truly professional, sharing history, food, and beautiful sights with us. Most importantly, he kept us safe. Thank you for this wonderful tour.

  • Such a great tour!

    Evan was the best tour guide and such a ray of sunshine! He made every day so much fun. Saw beautiful sights with a great group of people. If I could do the tour all over again, I would. Only complaint is that I wish it had lasted longer.

  • Best 5 days in Tasmania
