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.

Nicholas was an excellent guide/driver he was very clear with instructions and very knowledgeable about the area! Wineglass Bay is spectacular! The views are just amazing. The National Park is beautiful! Our ride to Launceston with Graham was nice - he also was very knowledgeable about the area! It’s a great trip to do!

Enthusiastic tour guide who entertained us with stories for the duration of the trip. Stopped in some lovely locations, although we would have liked some more time to eat lunch and spend at various locations (and be warned earlier that we are required to buy lunch in the morning at a Sorrell cafe with limited options so we could plan better/bring our own lunch) Some elderly couples were on our tour and they could not walk to some of the locations on the tour which was disappointing, and the tour guide was required to continue at a fast pace and leave them behind.

I did this tour as part of the 'Big Three' three-day tour from Hobart to Launceston. The weather on the day of the tour was not ideal, lightly raining nearly the entire day, but I still had a lot of fun. The day started early picking everyone up from their hotels before making a quick stop shortly outside of Hobart for anyone needing to purchase lunch to take with them for the day. We made one additional stop along a beach before getting to the Freycinet National Park. From there, we had three options of walks, a short walk to a cafe/lunch spot, a walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout (a 45-minute uphill walk), or the option to extend your walk to the actual sands of Wineglass Bay (approximately 2.5 hours). Normally, I would have chosen the longer walk, but given the weather was rainy, and the guide advised there were a couple of sections of the walk to be careful on, our group of four opted for the walk to the lookout. Two of the members of the group stopped halfway to the lookout before turning to head towards the van as it was an uphill climb and a bit too much for them. After taking in the views overlooking Wineglass Bay, we headed to Honeymoon Bay and did the Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk. The description says you stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for oysters, but we did not, so maybe that is a seasonal thing. We made one last stop for coffee/snacks/ice cream before arriving in Launceston. Overall, the day was long and tiring, but fun, and I learned a lot from the guides.

Nick was very descriptive of all parts of the trip. Scenery and stops were fantastic. Pickup was prompt. Location of pickup was easily accessible. Bring walking shoes for hikes. Bus speaker system was intermittent. All tour guides should speak a little slower for non-Australians.

Needed to get to Launceston. This was the perfect trip. Enjoyed, great staff. Much better experience than with Tasmania Expeditions.

My wife and I did this tour yesterday June 7, 2018. The driving and the guided tour from Hobart to Freycinet National Park by David A. was excellent. David knows his craft very well. Now the bad part: from Freycinet to Launceston was bad. Rod was more of a driver than a tour guide. Rod did not talk anything with sense about the tour attractions. He was just driving and driving.
