My Mum wasn't sure if she could handle the hiking involved in the Wine Glass Bay walking tour so we chose this tour. It turns out we were the very first people to do it because it was a very new tour. We got taken to an amazing beach by boat and from there our walk to Wine Glass Bay was easy and best of all, it was flat. The timing of the tour was perfect, so was the ice-cream at the end and our guide was lovely. This really is the best was to see Wine Glass Bay. My Mum and I will be telling everyone about this great new option. Thank you

3/5 would probably suggest a pretty average experience but I would have actually given it a lot higher if they had gone through with the Mt Wellington section of the tour that we paid for. Through no fault of their own the roads were closed and had been for days before our tour but we were only informed of it while we were on the bus. We do feel Tours Tasmania misrepresented this and could have called/emailed ahead and given us the option to pull out or reduced fee. Mt Nelson was a poor substitute at best. That being said, our guide David was exceptional and really saved the tour for us. He was friendly, knowledgeable and loved to talk about everything in his city. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and learning from him. Overall, we feel the company did a bit of a bait and switch on us but David did manage to salvage the day to an extent. I'd recommend checking all locations are available before registering a tour with these guys.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day, it is weather dependent, however, if you leave yourself a window of opportunity over a few days the staff are only too happy to assist with regards to rebooking in the case of poor weather, lunch was lovely, and James and Zane ? We’re terrific, we spotted wallaby and platypus at Bathurst Harbour. Great day ! Thank you for the memories.
