AI summary of 21 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their knowledge, friendliness and entertaining commentary, as well as the comprehensive range of included experiences, which span food tastings of oysters, cheese, chocolate, honey and bread, a pub lunch at Hotel Bruny, and entry fees to national parks and the lighthouse. The most frequently highlighted standout feature is the Cape Bruny Lighthouse tour, which offers unique and breathtaking views that reviewers consider a memorable highlight of the day. Travellers also appreciate the small group sizes, comfortable transport, flexible itineraries that adapt to weather conditions, and the value for money given that almost everything is included. The only notable caveat mentioned is that one reviewer found a translation app provided less additional commentary than expected.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
I booked this for my 40th birthday and Andy, our very knowledgeable guide, made the day. We had fresh oysters and cheese for morning tea, toured the lighthouse with lovely views from the top, had a tasty lunch at the Bruny Hotel, then tried chocolates and honey.
A fantastic day of food, views and the lighthouse, with national park entry, the lighthouse climb, tastings and lunch all included. Jimmy was very informative and full of local knowledge.
We loved that this tour suited different fitness levels and let us sample lots of slow food, plus the lighthouse tour and wildlife spotting. The choice of pick-up points helped as we weren't in the city centre, and morning tea, a pub lunch and all entries were included. Jimmy was a great guide.
Rick and Luke knew the island well, from the honey tasting to the lookout, where the climb up all those steps is worth it for the view. Morning tea of cheeses and oysters was great, Wayne took us up the lighthouse, lunch at the hotel was good, and we finished with chocolate and the cheese shop. Great value.
A great day with Jimmy learning about Bruny Island's history. We ate beautiful local oysters, cheese, chocolate and honey and had lunch at the Bruny Hotel, and seeing white wallabies and pademelons was a bonus.
A fabulous way to see the best of Bruny. Dave was a great, adaptable guide, and Matt and Luke made the lighthouse easy even for someone nervous of heights. Morning tea on the beach with local bread, cheese and oysters was amazing, lunch at the hotel was top notch, and the chocolate and cheese tastings were lovely.
