Our guide, Mark, was amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge about Tasmania and the world. The only negative was the weather was terrible; cold, windy and rainy. The views were very beautiful and would have been spectacular if it were not so cloudy. I would still recommend this experience, just hope everyone has better weather.

Peter was fantastic - he led us to the best areas for views of animals and mountains. We had a great time seeing Tasmania for the first time.

Dani was an outstanding tour guide- Dove lake scenery was amazing- on another hike we saw Wombat and Australian porcupines. Bus seats weren’t the most comfortable for a 6.5 hour trip.

Prompt response to booking, guides were easy to find from port shuttle bus and check-in was organised. Richard & Shannon were very helpful and personable guides and went above board to answer questions and make sure everyone got the most of the trip - which was outstanding by the way. Definitely worth booking while in Tasmania. Even though our ship was the earliest to leave port in months, we were in plenty of time for the last shuttle back to port. I highly recommend Tassie Tours. Top notch excursion.

This was an enjoyable few hours off our cruise ship in Burnie. Easy shuttle transfer into town where our excellent guide, Dannie, met us and drove us to Cradle Mountain where we had a short walk. The entire area is a beautiful wilderness, and Dannie filled the drive time well with interesting information about the area, its history and wildlife. We were fortunate to see wombat and echidnas. Too short a time in port, really, to do the area justice, but based on our experience I would definitely recommend Tassie Tours for any Tas excursions.

An amazing day… great tour guide, picturesque scenery, fun group of people (10 in total). Would recommend as a must do when on shore in Burnie. Weather misbehaved but this only made it more memorable. Highlight of our trip so far! We will be back!!

Our guide was lovely and it was a great experience. We were met with hail and rain but the tour guides were great and picked us up promptly and provided great dialogue along the way. I would 100% recommend this to my friends and family 🙂

Our guide, Shannon, I believe was her name, was excellent. We used this tour as part of our cruise on Virgin Voyages from Melbourne. We had a day stop in Burnie and I wanted to see a national park and do something active. Shannon and Richard accommodated our ships’ arrival and made sure we made it on time for the shuttle back to the bus. You could tell they made every effort for us to get the best experience in the time that we had. We visited a small town where I was able to buy lunch to go and some souvenirs and then made our way to cradle mountain where we did a 45 min hike and was able to experience the diverse landscape and weather that this park and Tasmania has to offer. I would recommend future tour goers dress for all weather. Even though it was summer, we encountered rain, sleet and 39 degree F weather at the mountain. Would def recommend hiking boots/shoes, water proof or rain gear and warm clothing underneath. Hike is not strenuous. We were able to see many wombats and a wallaby. Loved the small tour experience which is way better than what you get on most cruise tours.

Awesome tour of cradle mountain. The tour guides ensure we make it back to the cruise on time. And it was a long drive. The guides were knowledgeable and knows their way around the mountain to ensure we can see what we can and have photos taken. Great day
