Our single day cruise stop in Tasmania was an experience to remember with Great Expeditions. Mount Wellington didn’t exactly show her best –fog rolled in so thick you could see it coming – but it was handled with such humor that we almost didn’t mind. Her Story was a wonderful was to understand the convict history of Hobart and Richmond... More

There were 4 of us traveling together, and another couple from the ship, and were met by Patrick right on time. Our tour was very interesting, and Patrick was able to move things around to accommodate all of us. He was willing to make changes to keep us all happy. At one point, we did something extra in one area,... More

We were two couples visiting Hobart via cruise ship and booked The Top 4 tour with Great Expeditions. What a great day we had! We were met promptly by our driver and guide, Patrick, and went straight up to Mt. Wellington for a spectacular view across the bay and environs. It was cold up there, but no crowds and the... More

We booked a full day private tour for 4 of us having arrived by cruise. Our guide was great and was very willing to alter the agenda and adjust the pacing to fit our needs. Booking a day tour with Great Expeditions is far better than taking a cruise provided excursion on a crowded bus with no schedule flexibility. A... More

We arranged this tour after reading various reviews. We arrived off a cruise ship and were given clear instructions to the meeting place. Apart from a late arrival the day ran smoothly. I really would recommend this trip as it was all organised by locals. What a great city Hobart is! We were on this tour with two other couples... More

We arrived in Hobart from a cruise shipand had pre-arranged this tour with Samuel before we left Canada. It was a perfect day with a very knowledgable guide. If you go to Tasmania consider this tour!!

Our Hobart shore excursion with Great Expeditions was a fantastic day !! We were able to experience some native animals at Mt Fields and also enjoy Bonorong Wild Life refuge. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Tasmania and the areas we were visiting.

Patrick was the tour guide and he was quite informative about Hobart and gave us lots of information on the way up to Mount Wellington. We stopped along the way to take some wonderful photos and also had a taste of the water coming down. It was very refreshing and we even filled up our water bottle. On reaching the... More

When we booked our cruise on Holland America's MS Oosterdam, we knew the likelihood we'd ever be "down under" again was very low. So we looked at the shore excursions with an eye toward experiencing as much as possible. But the shore excursions offered by the ship were a) very expensive, and b) limited to just one area of interest.... More
