While it took a while to get there the stops on the way made it worthwhile when one gets to see the snow on the mountain. We were lucky in that the guide and driver made it a day to remember with both the driving and stories along the way. It was a beautiful day weather wise and the Experience.

Nicholas was an excellent guide/driver he was very clear with instructions and very knowledgeable about the area! Wineglass Bay is spectacular! The views are just amazing. The National Park is beautiful! Our ride to Launceston with Graham was nice - he also was very knowledgeable about the area! It’s a great trip to do!

Enthusiastic tour guide who entertained us with stories for the duration of the trip. Stopped in some lovely locations, although we would have liked some more time to eat lunch and spend at various locations (and be warned earlier that we are required to buy lunch in the morning at a Sorrell cafe with limited options so we could plan better/bring our own lunch) Some elderly couples were on our tour and they could not walk to some of the locations on the tour which was disappointing, and the tour guide was required to continue at a fast pace and leave them behind.

Needed to get to Launceston. This was the perfect trip. Enjoyed, great staff. Much better experience than with Tasmania Expeditions.
