AI summary of 12 reviews
Travellers consistently praised the guides for their knowledge, storytelling ability and attentive care, as well as the tour's good value and the variety of walk options suited to different fitness levels, allowing passengers to see Tasmania's wildlife, scenery and notable sites across six days. The guides' warmth, humour and willingness to go beyond their duties to look after guests stood out most often, with several travellers noting they felt particularly safe and well cared for throughout the tour. The main caveat was that the bus seating is high and cramped, making it difficult to see ahead, and some guests found the group size larger than expected, with variation in room quality and breakfast standards between nights.
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've just done the six-day comfort tour, with full days of interesting places, wildlife parks and rainforest walks to lookouts. Hadyn was an excellent driver and guide who shared his love of Tassie's plants and animals, and played a good guitar too. The motels were comfortable, some with great views.
I loved every minute of the six-day comfort tour with Hadyn, whose love for Tasmania made it exceptional, and he even played guitar for us one evening. He set a pace that suited everyone on the walks, we saw plenty of wildlife and scenery, and the final night's dinner was wonderful.
A great taste of Tasmania, and our guide Wombat (Garrett) was fabulous. The bus seats are high and cramped, so it's hard to see ahead, walks didn't always suit everyone's pace and some steps had no rails. Still, we saw far more in six days than we could alone, and the night at the Penny Royal in Launceston was a highlight.
We've done group tours across Europe, but the Tasmanian Discovery comfort tour beat them all, taking us around the island through reserves and national parks. Our guide Hadyn knew the plants and wildlife inside out and kept us laughing with stories.
A great guide made it a great tour. Hadyn was kind, knowledgeable and entertaining as both guide and driver, looked after everyone's needs and helped us all bond. Late February was perfect timing.
We finally went on a six-day comfort tour and had a fabulous time. Hadyn went above and beyond, carrying cases upstairs for older guests, replacing a lost cable and even climbing into steep bush to fetch a hat, and his stories filled the long drives.
