Absolutely fantastic day trip to Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park. Our tour guide Alex was absolutely awesome. Went over and above to ensure we had an amazing time. Stopped at Kate's Berry Farm on our way back to Hobart where we enjoyed an ice cream and coffee. Definitely recommend doing this trip and stopping by Kate's Berry Farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed the day trip. We were picked up on time by Alex our driver and guide. Alex was very knowledgeable about the beautiful areas we visited. It was fun and relaxing. It’s a long day but definitely worth it!

I've had such a great day with Alex, our fantastic guide for this tour at Wineglass Bay. Alex is very friendly and knows a lot of things about Tasmania. He took us to several beautiful places along the way. Must do.

Great itinerary and commentary along the way. Super comfy bus that made regular stops, tastings and views - we saw a white wallaby and a wedge tailed eagle.
