Fantastic 5.0
This Cradle Mountain tour was very satisfying, with spectacular scenery and just the right trail arrangement. What I want to praise most is the tour guide, who was very professional and attentive, explained everything clearly along the way, and didn't leave a single moment of the trip blank. He also paid attention to everyone's condition along the way, which made me feel very reassured, because the mountain roads are a bit winding, he would remind everyone to tell him if they got carsick, and even proactively asked everyone how they were feeling. The itinerary itself was arranged just right, the scenery was very beautiful, and the transportation was smooth. Overall, it was a very comfortable trip, but the tour guide's attitude of "keeping everyone's condition in mind" is what impressed me the most and is most worthy of praise. I would highly recommend it! The transportation pick-up and drop-off was punctual and clean, and the moving process was very smooth. Overall, this trip is very worthwhile, high CP value, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go to Cradle Mountain.

A must-see tour in Tasmania! My guide, Mr. Graem from Tour Tasmania, was fantastic—he shared lots of interesting information about Cradle Mountain and really looked after all the participants. His instructions at each stop were clear and helpful. Cradle Mountain and the national park are unbelievably picturesque and absolutely worth the visit.

The Tamar Valley Wine Tour perfectly combined scenic beauty, informative tastings, and warm hospitality. Each cellar door had its own unique charm, and the wines—especially the cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—were exceptional. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing stories that really brought the region to life. Lunch was a definite highlight: fresh, local produce paired with a glass of wine and stunning vineyard views. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Tasmania’s wine scene in style!

We were greeted at the gate with a glass of 2019 sparkling wine, which was very atmospheric. Bea was our guide, she was very professional! The history of the estate was very interesting. She was very passionate about being soaked in wine. You can also make your own sparkling wine and take it away after enjoying lunch. Please note that you need to drive to the winery by yourself, remember not to drive after drinking (leave a companion who does not drink) 😆 Unfortunately, we can't visit the winemaking process, and there are no fruits on the grape vines in winter. We ordered oysters at our own expense, which were fresh and delicious.

Good place to stay when visiting Launceston. The restroom may feel cold in winter, but there is great hot water.
