Fantastic day out if you want to relax, not worry about driving and enjoy a professional and friendly trip to a wonderful location. Our driver David was superb and an expert driver who took some of the windy roads with great safety and skill. Scenery was great and the lunch enjoyable.
Amazing experience!

It's a wonderful experience and the guides were very informative. I truly enjoyed my trip with Viator and will engage them in future.
Extremely Rude Guide. We travelled on 21/November 2025 , last month. The guide was in hurry for everything. Strict rules

It’s not about price. It’s about behaviour of guide. Rude and arrogant. He took us back to Launceston quiet early and we had little time to spend in cradle mountain as if he had to rush back his home. We were not allowed to speak among ourselves because he was saying about history about the places. Quite understandable but not allowing talking to my child was kiddish and way too much expectation. My child was upset with his rude behaviour. I was asking the way in cradle mountain, more than explaining the way , for every half sentence he said to come back on time mentioning the time sooo many times.
Worthwhile

Bring enough cloth to expect the unexpected cold and rain. Suggest more time at Sheffield, so travelers can have time to walk around and see those wall painting.
