We certainly got the highlights of Tasmsnia on this tour. We were fortunate to have an excellent guide in Misty. She was so knowledgeable and had a great personality and through her our mixed party of 24 gelled perfectly together. The days are long but packed with interest. Could have done with more than a brief stay in Sheffield, the town of murals. Difficult as it would have meant less time in the national park. Totally recommend this trip.

First time to Tasmania and I am glad I took the tour with under down under tours. The guides are excellent, reliable and responsible. Both my wife and me enjoyed the trip a lot. The accomodations are also good and comfortable. Excellent!! Will definitely recommend to friends. Fast response to pre-trip enquiries too.
