Unforgettable Honeymoon

We spent an absolutely amazing day with Elise showing us some of the stunning nature and wildlife that Tasmania has to offer. She helped make our honeymoon impossible to forget and we couldn’t have been happier.

Not only was she knowledgeable about literally everything we were curious about, but her passion about her home was infectious. She took time to point out and explain unique plants and animals in the national park and even managed to sneak us a peek of a baby wombat in the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (a must see if you want to get very up close and personal with Kangaroos and learn about the amazing rehabilitation work they provide).

The tour by and far exceeded our expectations and we’d recommend this to anyone interested in learning and seeing more of this beautiful territory.

Fantastic 5 Day Icons of Tasmania

The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Patrick was on time or early every day. He was knowledgeable and informative. We found that he was flexible and patient. We were really pleased with the itinerary and felt we received a good overview of Tasmania.

We will be recommending to our travel agent and Anderson Tours to use your services.
Thank you!

Fabulous Day Tour

My mother and I had the most fabulous tour today of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, where we saw Tasmanian Devis, Wombats, Quolls, Kangaroos and a variety of birds, including Fred the cockatoo who is 108 years old! We then had a delicious lunch  as we continued through the Derwent Valley traveling to Mount Field National Park where the trees and ferns towered over us as we hiked to Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Our fabulous guide, Elise, pointed out specific fauna that we would not want to miss and made sure that every aspect of the day went beautifully, even adding a quick tour of Hobart since she knew that we would only be in Tasmania briefly. She ensured that our day was memorable and special, including recommending the perfect place for us to have dinner and ensuring we could get a reservation on a very busy night. Highest praise for Premier Travel Tasmania.
