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!
Fabulous Tasmanian Falls and Furries Experience

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!

5.00Great trip with Daniel Boddy. We visited a fantastic animal sanctuary where we saw a great number of Tasmanian species including the Tasmanian Devil, Kangaroos and several Wombats as well as a number of birds. We then visited Mt Field which was a wonderful hike through a primordial forest. Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. A great trip.
A Perfect Day from start to finish.

5.00We’ve been visiting the country for a while now and have only taken small group tours. Although those were fine, they didn’t have room for lingering in spots that we wanted to spend more time in and we had to move at a pace of the group. This private tour was perfect. Bailey is a local with lots of tips and knowledge about Tasmania. We had a wonderful time in each location we visited and the travel time was full of interesting conversations and local happenings. The lunch spot we went to had delicious food and met some specific dietary needs. Bailey took great photos and shared them with us and even gave us a dinner restaurant recommendation that was super. I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a fun, well paced and personalized experience.
Outstanding trip in part due to our Guide Penny!

5.00Penny Dyer was our guide on both the Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals tour as well as the Wine and the Wild tour. Both tour itineraries were set up well and Penny did an outstanding job guiding and explaining everything. We had the absolute best time and were SO happy that Penny was able to enhance our experience on both days!
Excellent tour with Localing

5.00Noah was excellent. Very easy to spend the day with. He was a great resource for local geography, history, politics and culture. He allowed us to create our own enjoyable itinerary based on what we had already seen and what we plan to do the next few days to avoid duplication.
Walking among the giants!!

5.00Angus Templeton was an excellent guide. I learned so much on this walk thru Mt Field National Park. If he couldn't answer a question he made a call(this he learned a thing or two). It was so amazing walking among the different Eucalyptus trees Seeing the differnt birds. The lunch was pretty darn good...I learned so much about honey. I knew I was no longer in Kansas. The taste was so unique, but i actually could identify the taste. Yeah, I was impressed w/me. I had to share with family only I couldn't take in to my next stop New Zealand. Oh yeah..shipped! Ohhh... it's Leatherwood Honey. Angus did not push, but I surprised myself regarding the trails and stairs. (and probably him too ;) There is so much to look at you don't really noticed how far you traveled. But every step was worth it!
Nice day around Hobart!
