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.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    Stopped in a few places but great experience over all, I would recommend it if you are lazy to drive, also get to know a bit of local stories during the travel

    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.

    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.

    The weather was against us but the driver was very professional and had a great knowledge of the area and history. We got to play in the snow

    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.

    What a terrible day weather wise, Simon our driver/ did an excellent job in a difficult situation. Local knowledge, fantastic. Knew the best bakeries to get lunch/breakfast from. Was very kind to elderly guests who didn’t quite understand what they had signed up for. Did his very best, despite adversity. Thank you Simon, I did enjoy my day, the main walk and seeing the extra sights. Regards Valerie WA.

    I can honestly say that this trip was fantastic. Our drivers,Trevor and Graeme, were exceptional. They were fun and were able to answer all our (my?!!) questions.
    Without Trevor’s help, I would not have completed the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout without possibly holding the group back. It was harder than I thought and with age and resulting lower fitness not on my side, it was a struggle. Without a rail I felt unsteady and I don’t normally have trouble with tour outings. Trevor was simply incredible. He stayed with me all the way to make sure I made it. His knowledge was awesome in everything Tasmanian (and lots of topics not) and he made it the most wonderful day. If older, please be aware it is not an easy walk- harder than I thought.
    The bakery staff where we stopped to buy our lunch were wonderful but there was not a lot there for vegan or vegetarian. However, the staff quickly made me a salad sandwich that was most appreciated. If concerned, better to take your own. Plenty of beautiful sight seeing at bathroom stops as well.
    I would definitely recommend this trip, especially with these fantastic guides.

    We were very pleased with our tour. Robert, our driver and tour guide was very informative, and took us to all the best places in Tasmania. Pam, his wife, made sure everything ran smoothly and was very patient and helpful. The places chosen for lunches were excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anybody. A relaxed, thoroughly enjoyable tour. Thank you Fun Tassie Tours.

    My husband and I did this trek last week and it was fantastic! Our two guides, Emma and Tahlia were inspirational with their knowledge of the area, friendliness, and their never-ending care and attention to us and the others in the group. The food provided was good quality and all dietary bases covered, plenty of great food and beautiful cheese platters for drinks and nibbles each night. We especially loved the Tarkine Wilderness Village and the lovely little cottages we stayed in, lots of wildlife wandering around.... the village pub is fantastic along with all the helpful staff. The walks were well planned and very manageable, no rush and plenty of information given and time for photos. We would most definitely recommend this walk as a great way of seeing this part of Tasmania, very beautiful, plenty of adventure and lots of fun.
