What people love about Tasmania Tours for Seniors
- Tasmanian Wonders
Great saw a lot of Tasmania
- Tassie's Parks and Nature
Sometimes a tour is made with the personalities of the group. Well, we had the best. Laughs, teasing, stories, caring and helping each other. Our leader,Carolyn, and driver, Tom, were wonderful. There were a few changes and a few uncertainties...handled by Carolyn so smoothly we hardly noticed. She is a great story teller with a very interesting life and 4,000 cousins. The people we met were so cheerful, and it makes a big difference. The places we went, the history we learned,the adventures we had ...so much in a short time, but not over done. I want to go back.
We went on the Famous Five tour, we don’t usually do ‘organised’ tours, preferring to do our own thing. However we are so glad we chose Under Down Under to show us beautiful Tasmania. We had a fantastic time, our guide Hadyn, being born and bred in Tazzy, was extremely knowledgeable about the Island’s wildlife, geology and history. This made the bus journeys to each location very enjoyable and interesting. I think we would have missed a lot of this if we had toured alone. We went for the hotel option and all the accommodation was clean and comfortable, we had a chance to look at one of the hostels and that looked great too. Every activity was optional and there were always good range of things to do for all fitness levels but you had to have reasonable fitness levels to get the best out of this tour. The Famous Five ended too quickly for us, we wanted to stay longer and were very envious of those staying on for the 6 and 7 day options. Being a Tasmanian owned complany, I would highly recommend Under Down Under.
