Memorable Tasmania Experience with Sonia

5.00We had a wonderful 1.5 days with Sonia doing the Peaks, Falls & Furry and Wander Hobart Walking Tour. Sonia is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, local culture, parks and wildlife and shared so many interesting insights. Her fascinating stories greatly enriched our trip and deepened our appreciation of Tassie. She also prepared a lovely picnic with fresh local produce and took beautiful photos for us. Thanks to her sharp eyes, we even had a close encounter with an echidna — such a special moment! Sonia has a warm and delightful personality, and the whole experience was truly memorable. Highly recommended — we will definitely ask for Sonia again on our next visit.
Superb visit!

5.00We had the most incredible day exploring Tasmania with our guide, Penny! From the lush beauty of Mount Field National Park to the breathtaking views atop Mount Wellington, every moment was thoughtfully planned and perfectly paced. Penny’s knowledge of the area, history, and wildlife made each stop so much more meaningful. The waterfalls at Mount Field were stunning, and she made sure we experienced the best trails without ever feeling rushed. The picnic she prepared was absolutely wonderful — such a special touch and a highlight of the day! Visiting Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was unforgettable. Penny helped us make the most of our time there, sharing insights and making sure we had amazing up-close experiences. Penny is warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. If you’re visiting Tasmania and want a day that feels effortless, personal, and truly memorable — ask for Penny. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Best Day Ever!

5.00Bob and I had a wonderful day with Daniel. He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and focused on what we were interested in seeing and doing. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Daniel went out of his way to take us to try to find a platypus. We got lucky, we saw two of them. My husband is a birder and Daniel tuned into finding birds for him to see. I can't express how great this tour is. It was one of the best things we did on our entire trip to Australia. I highly recommend taking this tour while staying in Hobart.
Hoppy was a wonderful guide!

5.00Arthur “Hoppy” Hopwood was an amazing guide! He was warm, kind, knowledgeable, and caring about our needs. He paced himself to our needs.
Strongly recommended - if you get Daniel!

5.00Outstanding service provided by Daniel, who was always prepared to go the extra mile (or should that be kilometre?) to ensure we got the most from the trip. With snow at the top of Mt Field we certainly encountered some low temperatures for December, but Daniel ensured we were kept well fed, watered and warm, and his knowledge of the flora and fauna helped make for an excellent day.
Wonderful day in and near Hobart!

5.00My wife and I loved our full day private tour with our guide Sonia. She picked us up promptly at our hotel and was a font of knowledge all day long. She was well versed on the history of Hobart and Tasmania, flora and fauna, and gave us great recommendations on restaurants and other activities for the rest of our stay. Sonia was fun, kind, and an excellent driver. She had gluten free snacks for us and was always ready to take pictures of us. Though the weather was changeable she had umbrellas at the ready and completed tailored the day to our needs and preferences. From Bonorang animal sanctuary to Russell Falls to Battery Point - A great day!
Fantastic day trip with animals and hiking

5.00My wife and I had a fantastic day with Noella exploring the areas around Hobart. We loved the wildlife sanctuary where there were animal experiences including petting and feeding kangaroos. We had a lovely riverside lunch, then entered the ancient forests inside Mt Field National Park for a beautiful hike. In addition to the incredible views, we had such a pleasant time talking with Noella on the tour, trading stories and musing about life and travel. Highly highly recommend!

5.00Our guide,Angus, was one of the most informative in our 3 weeks of traveling. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Australia, and specifically of the history and highlights of Tasmania. The drive was gorgeous and he made sure to return a different way so we could see more of this magical land. Our picnic lunch was a particular delight, with many kinds of Tazzy cheeses, fruit and beverages. Wonderful experience, thanks Angus!
