What a great way to get a taste of Tasmania. Our tour guide, Wombat (Garrett), was fabulous. Just be forewarned - the bus is not made for comfort or seeing what you're going through. The seat backs are so high and square that it's very difficult to see what's in front of you and unless you're about 5'4", there's no legroom in the seats. Best seats are the single ones so you can hang over into the aisle to see ahead. Otherwise, all you see is stuff whizzing by your window. Stops for walks were informative, but not always respectful of the pace people wanted/were able to walk - so much of the commentary was missed. Some of the sites had uneven steps with no handrails making traversing them precarious. That being said, we saw a lot of Tasmania in 6 days - something which we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. Highlight for accommodations was the overnight stay at the Penny Royal Hotel in Launcestown. What a cool old building repurposed for a hotel - and the restaurant was a perfect place for dinner on a rainy cool night!Show more

Well organized tour. We discovered Tasmania with this small, very international group (20) and an excellent guide.
