Lovely tour, excellent guide - Lovely tour. Simon was a very relaxed guide. His guiding style reflected himself which made it very enjoyable. I would love to get a message to Simon thanking him for helping me with a medical issue. I didn’t know if I should go to urgent care or the emergency room. He contacted his partner who is a nurse who advised me to go the ER which turned out to be spot on advice. As it turns out it really was a critical issue as his partner recognized. All has turned out well so far. Please let him know this. So nice that he cared.

Knowledgeable and interesting local guide - Jarrod was a fantastic tour guide, with lots of local knowledge. His convict ancestors supplied him with many interesting stories! The tour itself was fabulous - Russell Falls, Tassie devils at the Bonorong wildlife park, historic Richmond and Mt Wellington. It was very fast paced but never felt rushed. I highly recommend Jarrod and his tours.

Memorable Tour of Tasmania - This tour was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand. Brett was an exceptional guide and we learned a lot about Tasmanian wildlife, thanks to his background as a zookeeper. We loved all 4 experiences -- the peaceful walk through the woods, the charming town (with a great bakery), the incredible views from Kunanyi/Mt. Wellington, and most of all the close encounters with the animals at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. I still can't believe we were handfeeding and petting kangaroos. What a memorable experience! 100% recommend.

Wonderful experience - Every stop was wonderful. The Mt field hike was beautiful with lots of wildlife. The sanctuary had Kangaroos and Tasmanian devil as well as many other animals unfamiliar to me.

Thank you Simon! - A perfect way to see the countryside! Our guide, Simon, planned a day that took advantage of the weather. Mt Field National Park with its beautiful rainforest walk and waterfalls was the perfect way to start the day. Then we got on a fabulous tour at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and learned all about wombats and Tassie devils and got amazing photos. The Sanctuary is a blessing to these critters! Lunch (and dessert!) in Richmond was great. The day ended at the top of Mt. Wellington for views that cannot be described! Simon shared such interesting information with us throughout the day. It was a small tour group and we felt like family by the end of the day. Perfection! Thank you, Simon!

Great wagner way to see greater wellington. - This tour gave us an opportunity to see the greater hobart area. We enjoy going up to Mt. Wellington and to the nature preserve. It was also nice to be in historic Richmond for an hour.As well as Mt. Fields national park. Jared are tour guide was very good at explaining things along the way, but he did not overdo it.

Fun Day Around Hobart - A fun filled day site seeing different areas of Hobart. The Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was great. Got to see many animals from the area. The walk through Mt. Field Park and the view from Mt. Wellington were amazing. Our driver, Brett was great, vary knowledgeable. Glad we took the tour.
