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.

Spectacular Walk with ever changing weather conditions from sleet and snow to warm walking in shorts and t shirt. The group were great and provided some very amusing moments. TWC have things organised very well from great food to drying cabinets.
In particular the guides Clancy Clair and Caty were fantastic and a highlight of the trip watching them work with a smile. I would throughly recommend this walk with TWC. Follow the fitness plan to prepare for the trip !

We did the Overland Track hike in December, with 2 guides and one trainee guide.
We found the first day very tough, but rewarding, and the rest of the days completely enjoyable. The weather ranged from 'hot' (the first tough day, 22 degrees) to literally freezing and snowing (but so beautiful). We were super lucky not to have any rain or leeches, although not lucky on seeing critters - just a couple of wallabies, a wombat and an echidna.
The huts were generally great but there were a few peeves that are unacceptable at this price point (hence 4/5) - at two the drying rooms weren't working and at another there was no heating in the living room during the afternoon/evening.
The food and the guides and their knowledge were great. We would definitely do another walk with this company.

Thanks for your review and feedback. It's great to hear that you had an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Seeing the mountains in such varying conditions on the one trip is quite the treat - although surprisingly not uncommon! I'm sorry that there were problems with the drying rooms and heating in some of the huts. Unfortunately, their remote locations do present maintenance challenges. Due to National Park limitations and our respect for all walkers on the track, all crews and parts need to be walked in, so it can be difficult to address problems quickly. I can assure you that we monitor the condition of the huts closely and the issues you raised were fixed soon after your trip. I do apologise for your discomfort. I am very pleased that plan to walk with us again. There are many more remote and beautiful places to explore.

What a fantastic experience! The guides and great group of people we were with thoroughly enriched the experience. The guides looked after us extremely well and their insights into the history of the track, and briefing us on what to expect each day all added to the experience.

The hot showers and warm, private huts in idyllic settings were a welcome sight at the end of each day. The delicious meals and evening conversation rounded out an excellent trip.

Terrific tour guides (Danah and Aarron) and a great group of travellers made this a fabulous experience.

The demands of the walk are offset by the stunning scenery and the extraordinary environment.

Tas walking co had all the bases covered - food, accommodation and wool to deal with those inevitable blisters.

Definitely worthwhile and ensure you train in advance.

It’s a tough walk but SO worth the effort. TAS Walking Co do a brilliant job, the guides are supportive and fuN. The autumn leaves in May were a highlight. 🍂 Our group of strangers left as friends after the week together. You leave with a real sense of achievement, having enjoyed being out in nature, away from life’s distractions, with the weather that nature throws at you 🌧 ⛅️ ☀️ . The huts at the end of the day were much appreciated.

This was an experience of a lifetime, a walk that had been on my wish list for a long time. At age 79, it was now or never! I did it. The whole experience was fantastic. The accommodation, meals, hot showers were so good. The scenery was wonderful. The walking was hard at times but so worth it, But it was the guides, Kirra and Ned, who made the whole experience extraordinary. They were caring, supportive, encouraging, just generally - The Best.
I would encourage anyone to do this walk with this excellent company. I am so, so happy that I completed this iconic trek. Thank you to all who made it possible.

Great scenery, great walking group, great weather and two brilliant Tasmanian Walking Company guides - massive shout out to Lillian Lyall and Leah Heys. Lillian and Leah were exceptional in their care, guidance and unlimited energy. They made the trip outstanding.

My Wife and I have just completed the 6 day overland track walk , it was fantastic , it was certainly challenging but our guides , Anna , Tristan and Fyn were outstanding , they were very kind , they worked as a team , they knew each others roles.
The food and wine each night was sensational and the packed lunches and hardy breakfasts really kept us going.
I have had back surgery and my wife knee surgery so we paid extra to have a porter which was Tristan , I cant speak highly enough of the experience we had and would recommend to anyone that is thinking of this trip to do it with Tasmanian Walking Company.
Brian and Liz Davies.

What a wonderful way to do the Overland Track! I've done this walk independently, but this supported walk was such a rich, and enriching, experience. Fantastic group of people, led by intelligent, curious and engaging guides. The huts are very comfortable, the food is great ( byo chocolate and lollies if that's what keeps you going on the track), and hot showers and wine at the end of the day are icing on the cake. The whole experience was a balm to the soul after 2 years of COVID-19 and all that came with it.
