Tassie Tours Tasmania a first-rate experience!! - A friend had recommended Tassie Tours Tasmania for our first trip to Hobart!
We pre booked the Port Arthur Day Trip which was highly recommended. We had the most brilliant tour guide in Andrew! He is a local born and bred, so his knowledge of all things Tassie was fantastic. He is also a former Chef and so for me who loves anything foodie, again he had a wonderful knowledge of the food and produce of the area and great places to eat in and around Hobart. Port Arthur is an incredible place to visit for many reasons. Acknowledging the banishment and decimation of the Aboriginal people is confronting. It is hard to imagine the harsh life that many would have experienced in such a beautiful setting. The memorial to the Port Arthur Victims is beautifully done. Such an horrific tragedy.
Andrew you are a natural communicator! You have a genuine, articulate and easy style of delivery. The perfect person as your guide/commentator when you are together for 7hrs!! As you know we booked a Tassie Tour for the next day to Bruny Island because Paul and I knew you were doing that as well!! Thank you for a brilliant day. You and your Company deliver a 5-star product and service. See you next time!!
Kind regards
Jackie and Paul

Interesting Port Arthur - We had a wonderful day visiting Port Arthur and surrounding area. So beautiful and interesting. Peter was a great guide, so knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. He stopped to show us a group of fur seals on the way back. Added bonus! I would highly recommend the tour.
