What people love about Tasmania Tours for Seniors
- 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.
- Tasmanian Wonders
Exceeded our expectations. Comprehensive, well-organized and executed.
Our guide was Tommy. The tour was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and always keen to help and assist. We enjoyed being in a group which worked well as we all got a long well. We stayed in motels which were great for us. Tommy gave us a lot of information continuously and we knew what we were doing. The tour works well for all ages as the walks are adaptable at different levels of fitness. We had a great time and feels that this was due to Tommy being so helpful.
