I have just had a lovely day out on this tour. David was an excellent Guide who was so knowledgeable not only about the places we visited - but all things Tasmania - I learnt so much. First stop was to Sheffield - the mural town for sightseeing and David yo pick up a pre selected included pack lunch for us all from a delightful bakery. Then onto the Cradle Mountain National park. We had ample time to visit the main area and home of Gustav and Kate Weindorpher. David gave us such a great insight into their lives, achievements and legacy

It was wonderful but some things to better your services 1. You have to mention the pickup points of the bus. As I went to the bus depot. 2. Because of the rain advice to bring rain coat or umbrella

The guide shared incredible knowledge about the plants and mountains, and I enjoyed taking photos and seeing wildlife at Cradle Mountain. Even joining alone, both the guide and other participants were friendly, making it a great experience.
