Awesome driver very knowledgeable and enthusiastic Only 5 in group so was able to show additional Made special effort to meet everyone’s needs and interests

Wonderful!

Sonia_M, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Keeley was so lovely and exceptional in her knowledge of Hobart and produce. Great tips on what to see and do around Tassie. Met lovely people on the tour also!

A Day in HUon valley

Darren_C, Mar 2024

Hastings caves were excellent, only one way in and out. Fascinating and our group was very lucky to score a private tour guide. Tahune airwalk and bush walk park was fun, I didn't venture onto the over hanging platform as it was rather windy and the platform was swaying. The two swingbridges were enthralling and a little bit scary at first, I felt more confident on the second one. Huon valley very scenic and beautiful, lunch was great as well., Our tour Guide/Driver Malcolm was superb, I would definetly recommend this tour, was a great day out.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you Darren for taking the time for your detailed review. It really helps other guests get a great idea of what this wonderful day out involves.

Malcolm was a great...

Tina_M, Mar 2024

Malcolm was a great guide, and the tour itself was fabulous! Hastings Caves were absolutely amazing. Tahune & Huon Valley were stunning.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you Tina we have passed on your feedback to Malcolm... and we agree Malcolm is great! We take great care in working with the best guides in Tasmania.

Not to be missed tour.

Geoff_M, Mar 2024

Swimming in the thermal pool was great. The caves are fantastic and the sky walk excellent. Our driver, Gerard, was so knowledgeable and gave us such an invite to the history and geography of the area. We only had 7 on our little bus which made the day even more enjoyable. Lunch was delicious at the pub.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you Geoff. We love hosting small group tours which, while they are a little more expensive, make the experience so much more immersive and intimate. You get the chance to really engage with the guide and environment alike.

Great trip

Jill_P, Mar 2024

It was a lovely tour with an excellent guide. The ride was comfortable with plenty of stops. Made for a great day out.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for taking the time for this wonderful review Jill!

Highly recommended!

Ivy_W, Mar 2024

If you're visiting Hobart then I would definitely recommend this tour! Our guide was Keeley and she was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. It felt like a great day out with a thoughtful friend who knows a lot and who took care of everything for you. The Cave and the Tahune walk were spectacular in their own ways and it's a fantastic way to explore Tasmania outside of Hobart. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you very much Ivy we are so glad you enjoyed your tour. We love working with Keeley and her passion and deep knowledge for the Huon Valley region is infectious.

Great caves and beautiful scenery.

Robyn_M, Feb 2024

I loved the caves. They were beautiful. The swinging bridge walk was a pleasure too. Keeley, our guide to the Huon valley was a pleasure to be with and our cave guide was amazing.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your review Robyn we are glad you enjoyed your tour with us.

Nice and very full day trip

KA_D, Jan 2024

I enjoyed the ave visit. It's a beautiful cave with a lnowledgable guide, the hot spring pool is 28° and couldd really be called a warm spring. The Tahone adventure was a surprise walk up high in the trees and a Km hike through the woods. I brought my own picnic lunch which turned out to be much faster than ordering from the restaurant.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for taking the time for your detailed review! We are glad you enjoyed your picnic which we encourage in our pre-tour emails if you wish to save some money not buying from the restaurant.

Great cave tour and...

Patricia_T, Jan 2024

Great cave tour and skywalk was lovely. The only downside was that the PA system in the bus was faulty.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you Patricia. Your guide made us aware of this issue after your tour and we have fixed the issue. Apologies for the inconvenience and we are glad you enjoyed the day nevertheless.

Dont waste your money

suzanne_R, Jan 2024

A lot of money for very little. 23 people crammed onto tiny bus with no air con. Only 10 mins at hot springs- not enough time to go in. A lot of wasted time at other places. I feel it was a total rip off

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Suzanne. We are deeply disappointed that you had this experience. Our 22 seat bus is only 2 years old and maintained at the best of standards. We normally spend 45 minutes at the thermal pool so it is surprising that you only got 10 minutes. If you email me at info@toursaroundtasmania.com.au I can find out what happened on your specific tour. We are in the process of considering options to increase the time at the thermal pool and rainforest area to an hour, which we expect would result in a more relaxed experience. Sending you home with incredible memories of Tasmania is our sole purpose and we deeply regret we did not deliver this for you.

Best Day

Steve_C, Nov 2023

My wife and I had a fantastic day in the caves and on the airwalk although it rained all day. They were stunning and well worth visiting while the highlight of the day was the Tahune Airwalk and the swing bridges over the Huron and Picton rivers. The lunch at the Kermandie Hotel (own expense) was excellent. Our driver for the day Malcolm was brilliant, so helpful and patient all day. He made our trip.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you Steve! We work hard to make our tours the best in Tasmania and that includes hiring the best guides.

Hastings caves and Tahune and Huon valley

Marleen_E, Nov 2023

Malcolm our guide was superb… spoke very clearly and the whole tour was very memorable. Caves were absolutely amazing.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your review Marlee. As a small business it makes a big difference!

Special adventure in Tassie

Amy_L, Oct 2023

The caves and airwalk are our first time experience. It’s wonderful. We would like more time to explore the Tahune area. We left at 4pm and thought could be later as the day is longer.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your review Amy. We agree there is so much to do in the Huon Valley region, which is still one of Tasmania's hidden treasures. Unfortunately Tahune Adventures close at 4pm. However because of wonderful feedback like yours we are working on adding some exciting features to the end of our tour next year!

Enjoyable day in the Huon Valley, Hastings caves and Tahune.

Irene_B, Oct 2023

Loved the Hastings Caves and the Tahune Adventure area. Huw, our tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. We travelled in comfortable, air-conditioned transport. Just two things irritated me. Lunch was not included, which was fine, however, we were only given the choice of a pub meal in Kermandie when there was a gourmet pie shop only 5 minutes walk up the road. This should have been given as an option for lunch but it wasn’t. The Tahune Airwalk was great, however, Huw gave us the impression that if we wanted to do the forest walk (only 3 km) we’d have to hurry. The reality was it was an easy walk through stunning bush land and was highlighted by crossing two swing bridges. It would have been a shame to have missed this and despite Huw’s discouragement, our entire group did it in plenty of time,

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your detailed review Irene. Following your review we have reminded our guides that the swing bridge is a fun part of the tour to avoid this happening again. For lunch it is sometimes difficult for guides to manage some groups at one location and some at another. I understand in your case this may not have been an issue. We try to be clear in our marketing and booking confirmations that lunch is not included and the costs and that you are more than welcome to bring lunch if you wish. Our sincere apologies that this was a misunderstanding! Thank you for your feedback

An enjoyable day thanks to Malcolm

Shane_O, Oct 2023

A enjoyable day thanks to the driver Malcolm. He was friendly, helpful and informative. His driving made us feel safe at all times especially on those winding roads. We got to experience good weather uniquely paired with flooding rivers and caves.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you Shane. We often joke that Tasmanian roadbuilders were paid by the corner! Navigating them slowly and carefully is very important to us.

Fantastic tour guide!!!

Dominic_E, Oct 2023

Out of the two weeks me and my partner spent in Hobart, doing a variety of different day trips, this was my absolute favourite and it came down to our guide. Malcolm was knowledgeable, funny and accommodating to our small group of people. He moved me and my partner to the front when my partner got car sick and told us all about the areas we were in and even about native Flora and Fauna which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend this trip to anyone, especially if Malcolm was the guide.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We place a lot of emphasis on the quality of our tour guides. We can work tirelessly on an itinerary or professional business, however the guide will make or break your experience. This is why we select our guides very carefully base on passion, character and maturity. Come back soon!

Shaylene_S, Sep 2023

Lots to see on this well organised trip. The caves were amazing to see and the airwalk with cantilever was spectacular.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you Shaylen we run a pretty tight schedule on this tour as there is so much to see and do in the Huon Valley!
