“Nikki was a wonderful tour guide and excellent Naturalist - giving us great insight to the birds and animals of the Island. As we were driving down the road she stopped quickly and told us to look up in the tree … there was a wild Koala! She took us to a winery, the beautiful rugged and sandy beaches on the island, a lavender farm, a cider tasting farm (where we saw a kangaroo and Emu!) and before we got back to the ship there was gin tastings. We had a marvelous day on this small, but very interesting island. A must see!”

“Peter of Tassie Tours was our tour guide. He was excellent being personable, very obliging and very knowledgeable. Peter took us on short walks to various look-out points and places of interest. He knew exactly where the bast photo was taken (the classical spot in the case of Cradle Mnt). We were on a deadline and he wanted to give us as value and the bast experience possible. We were returned to our meeting point in Burnie with 5 minutes to spare - Peter knew exactly what he was doing. Great experience and well done Tassie Tours and Viator.”
