Right! very nice!nice tour guide, nice trip, many infomation received, the flow of the journey is fantastic!In addition to the sights to visit, it also took us to 2 places that no one knows, the locals know! The tour guide talks about a lot of different history, and talks about some of the origins, a lot of information, not purely for checking in! Hotel transfers are great! whatsapp contact Not afraid of no local phone, take us to eat lunch some oyster recommendations 👍🏼, remember to have good physical strength hiking, when we set off said there are four options for us to think about how to walk, but we chose the simplest option as a group

Hiking in Freycinet National Park is not difficult. It is better to have a light lunch at Honeymoon Bay with a beautiful view than to overlook Wineglass Bay. It is a pity that we were not able to climb the lighthouse at Sleepy Bay. Relax at Devil Coner and drink a glass of white wine, a good itinerary

Although we did have to climb a little mountain, the view after we got tired was very good. Even if we didn't climb to the end, the view was still very good, so we were able to choose not to push ourselves. There were also frequent toilet breaks, so it was a stress-free tour. The wine and oysters at the winery were also very delicious, making it a very satisfying tour.

Doing information gathering found that Wine Glass Bay is beautiful and a must-see attraction! The weather was relatively foggy that day and not very clear, a little unfortunate, but the tour guide was very professional and worthy of praise!

Travelers based out of Hobart can rely on this tour to catch a glimpse of Wineglass Bay. It is a long drive but our guide Nick kept us entertained. Perhaps a suggestion for improvement would be to visit Devil's Corner for lunch instead of tea?

Very happy journey! It was very thoughtful to receive a confirmation email and a travel preparation list the next day after placing the order. We met at the designated location on time on the day of pick-up. The tour guide Tim was very kind and familiar with the history of Tasmania. He was very responsible in acting as our guide and driver throughout the trip, and would also arrange easier routes and pick-ups for tour members who were not physically fit enough according to different situations. Joining a local tour is more convenient than driving by yourself. You can also follow the locals on an in-depth tour and learn more about the local customs and culture. Very worth it!
