About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 707cheryl0 contributionsLove animals? You'll love this tour!Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was amazing - up close and personal with so many wallabies! Seeing the Tasmanian devil "in person" was great as well. We had plenty of time to interact with the animals. Other stops were the delightful town of Richmond, where we stopped for lunch, and then a visit to the lookout tower for fabulous views of the area. Our guide was relaxed, knowledgeable and fun.Written 25 January 2025

- R4868DQlynb0 contributionsAmazing and highly recommendedThis was an amazing experience from start to finish! We were picked up outside our accommodation and travelled by coach to the ferry, onto the island and back again. Our host was knowledgeable, courteous and engaging. We prebooked our amazing lunch at the pub, had the most amazing feed of oysters and visited highlights of the island with opportunities to purchase local produce. An island of natural beauty and a day we would highly recommend. Tassie Tours are a great company to deal with !Written 22 January 2025

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked the tour out of curiosity without any expectations, but it has been a blast!
The timing for each stop is spot-on - enough for us to settle back and enjoy the sights to be seen!
Tour guides (Nathan, Andrew, and Marco) are truly natural! They know every place backward and put their heart and soul into introducing all stops along the trip. Marco is a real superstar! He paid attention to every guest and tried to engage with them throughout the bus trip by asking questions and even relating himself to where the guests came from. I admire his wealth of knowledge about Tassie and the world.
On that note, the zoo for the first day should be excluded from the tour because I feel it's so time-consuming yet there's little to see there, not to mention the price of entry tickets was fairly high. More scenic points and lookouts can be added to the list of day 1 (eg wineglass bay lookout, and so forth).

First of all, thanks Tassie Tours!
As I had only a short amount of time to get an overview of the island I was more than lucky to find this 3 day tour which included the most popular sites. Every day the guide for the tour showed a lot of knowledge also with regard to small details and special spots.
Thanks to the guides, especially Jodie and Ethan.
I would recommend this tour if you want to get the most out of your time and money in Hobart/Tasmania.

Can I just say that we had the best time? Anni and Mark are the best!!! We visited so much spots and Mark is so knowledgeable of the history we love listening to the story while we drive around. We visited whole Hobart and Bruny Island with Anni and our last day at Port Arthur with Mark. It was more like a private tour on our last day together with the two beautiful ladies from Zimbabwe. I would definitely use this service again. Not to many too, bus is comfortable and tour guides are awesome!!

Did not have a good experience and would give zero stars if I could. I never got the tour guides names on any of the tours and all of them just sat in silence throughout the trips. With admission to sites being excluded it was a waste of time and money.

Hi Olivia,
While disappointing to read I still appreciate your feedback.
We take great pride in providing an exceptional experiences from the moment you book to the completion of your tour and I know our TripAdvisor reviews back that up. For 7 years straight we have been awarded the "travellers choice" awards.
Our product listing with Viator clearly states what is and is not included. I can only assume you didn't read the initial listing before booking and the ticket you received once you booked which also clearly states what is and is not included.
I find it extremely unlikely your guides didn't speak throughout the day during both of your tours. If that was the case we'd have multiple unhappy customers. Your guides Mark and Bunzy feature multiple times a week with 5 star reviews on TripAdvisor.
The fact you chose to not come to Bruny Island on the 3rd day was unfortunate as it is the hero of the 3 days, a day tour not to be missed, and currently ranked number one on TripAdvisor's "things to do in Hobart". It's a product we are incredibly proud of and our guides love showcasing the islands sheer beauty.
I hope your Tasmania experience improves for you.
Regards
Patrick

I highly recommend this company.
The customer experience they provide is exceptional.
They prioritize customer satisfaction over financial gain.
I have participated in four tours in Hobart, three of which were with this company. I had an extremely enjoyable time on these tours.
I would particularly like to commend their outstanding tour guide, Mark. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone has a memorable experience. He is passionate about his job and takes the time to interact with each participant individually. His extensive knowledge extends beyond Tasmania and encompasses a wide range of global topics.
Furthermore, the customer service provided by the office staff is exceptional. They are understanding, thoughtful, and always willing to assist.

I had such a great time on these tours! Just to explain to future travelers- the 3 day tour is a combination of the 1 day tours. The tour days were in a different order than listed. The tour guides definitely made each day more fun. I highly recommend!
