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.

    Fantastic day trip from Launceston
    This is one of the best wine tours I’ve ever been on. It was more like visiting family friends at wineries. We went to 4 wineries and tried so many different wines. Shout out to Jill who drove us everywhere. A must do if you are staying in Launceston!

    Great River Cruise experience. Best way to see Catarat Gorge
    Absolutely amazing. Relaxing, fun and such great views. The 2 gentlemen Tim & James were such a hoot, providing great information, commentary and such good hands on experiences for the kids. Absolutely worth the time and dollars

    Lots of commentary - restricted areas for talking.
    A nice cruise if you wish to hear 3+ hrs of commentary up the river and back.
    Not ideal for groups catching up and talking while enjoying the cruise, unless you are prepared to stay in the lower deck with limited views and airflow.
    Ideally the skipper should have noise cancelling air plugs or a closed off area so the top deck is available to enjoy the view as well as socialise without feeling uncomfortable.
    Morning tea and lunch was very good.

    A wonderful over view of the beauty that is uniquely Tasmanian
    This fantastic tour was expertly led by Tom, who has a real passion for all things Tasmanian and shares his knowledge with humour and deep feeling.
    The balance of travel time and walking is great, and the island is so abundant in natural beauty.
    The motels were very comfortable and clean, and all staff very friendly.
    I highly recommend Under Down Under for anyone regardless of age or fitness levels.
    I hope you’ll be lucky enough to have Tom as your guide.

    Overall a good experience
    Decent way to get from Launceston to Hobart and the big 3, guides were friendly and knowledgeable.

    It was raining pretty much constantly during our first two days (cradle mountain and wineglass bay) but we still had a good time, the views were awesome despite the rain and fog. We also got to see lots of wombats which are really cute.

    The third day to Port Arthur is the only reason we didn't want to give the tour five stars. I wish we could spend more time in Port Arthur instead of the Unzoo (which was okay but unremarkable) and Richmond (lovely town but by the time we got there most shops have already closed). The Port Arthur ferry was also really underwhelming.

    Worth it!
    Great commentary and beautiful views. Well worth the $40 per person. Useful advice on a trip up to the First Basin as well.

    Perks of a picking early
    We were lucky to be the only ones who booked that time slot due to being slightly before summer so had a really personal tour. It was great because we were able to pick our guide's brain about lots of the scenery, animals, and even general Tasmania questions. The views were spectacular and the pedal experience was interesting. Overall a really relaxing and amazing pleasure!

    So glad we chose this tour!
    I had been doing research on the various options of traveling through Tasmania. UnderDownUnder tours seemed to provide the greatest tour for our needs, and at such a great price! I'm so glad we chose this. We had an amazing guide, Evan, who showed us so many things. He was incredibly knowledgeable and funny, and really knows his coffee! We were definitely the 'seniors' on the tour - three couples in their early 70's - but never felt segregated in any way. 'The Kids,' as we called them (all 20 and 30 somethings) were all so fun and interesting. We had great accommodations in each town we visited, and I know 'the kids' enjoy their hostel experiences as well. I would never hesitate to recommend Under Down Under to anyone who wants a rich experience in Tasmania.

    Shows you the best places of Tasmania!
    You explore a lot of places in Tasmania. You go to the west coast for a few days, to the east coast for a few days and you explore some places around Hobart. Further, it is not only nature what you are going to explore. You will see some historic sites as well which are very interesting. The only disadvantages were that it sometimes felt like you had to rush. It would have been better to have an extra hour on cradle mountain and maybe an extra half an hour in St Helens. These places are worth to stay a little bit longer. And a big disadvantage was that no single meal is included. I already paid so much for the tour and then they can’t even give you meals…

    Fun Tassie Tours - They 'Tick ALL the Boxes'.
    All things considered, Fun Tassie Tours 'Ticked All The Boxes'. The hotels [including ALL the meals], places of visits, comfort of the coach, Ben the driver/tour leader, not forgetting our fellow passengers, I repeat, they simply 'Ticked ALL the Boxes'. Highly recommend, and great Value for Money. Thank you all at Fun Tassie Tours.
