    This trip in no way was worth the time. Our host struggled to hype up our three stops … she said everything was beautiful every other sentence when in reality it was all brown rolling hills with a few cows. Our first stop overlooked the abandoned mill port … depressing and ugly. Our second stop was to hike down a hill to see a three foot waterfall which was neither impressive nor beautiful. Our final stop was the Emu Valley garden but since we spent so much time boarding the bus and visiting other two spots we were given 15 minutes to walk through entire park. This was worst tour ever taken because (1) guide nice but really didn’t give much info (2) sites not worth visiting reduced stop at highlight (3) chaos caused delays and over crowding. DO NOT RECOMMEND

    We bought the tour online in January and we were told there were not enough spots to accommodate us on the bus when we arrived on the day of the tour. We received a cash refund on the spot (which is why I gave them a 4 for customer service after an error). The title is misleading...it is NOT a "hop on/hop off". It's a guided tour where you remain with the group for the duration.

    We visited Burnie as a stop off from our Virgin Voyages cruise. We were met on our bus by a very solid and friendly Mayor of Burnie who welcomed us to her City. Next we ventured through the markets for our pickup. Our guide Rosie was a gem, so much knowledge, warmth and excitement for her city. Our first stop was The Lookout, which had wonderful views of the bay and docks. Short drive took us to a small waterfall, were you could walk the trail or stay on the bus. Next we visited the superb beauty of The Rhododendron Gardens. This garden is maintained and run by various who started off 40 years ago. The gardens are tranquil, with lots of amazing spaces and plant species. They also serve Devonshire Tea. Just be aware there are hills and gravel paths to navigate. The last stop on this tour was The Musuem, but we chose not to go in. All in all a nice snapshot of Burnie if you have limited time.

    Really depends on what time of the year you go. The guides and drivers were all great, really put in the effort. We went to the city overlook for pictures which was ok. We went to the waterfalls which were nice, but in February probably lacks the water velocity make them special. The gardens could be spectacular if the flowers are in bloom when you go, but that wasn’t our luck. We skipped last museum stop. Good crew but very time dependent.
