Grand Tasman

10 Day Grand Tasman

We had a wonderful time touring Tasmania. First of all, Relaxing Journeys (now Global Journeys) did an excellent job in organzing our tour. The Tour Manager is fantastic who guided us all through the journey with excellent commentaries. During the whole journey, he did not hesitate to introduce Tasmania to us through his own experience as a true Tasmanian. The driver is also excellent. Not only is he a safe driver, he manoeuvred his vehicle in a very professional manner and he looked after the elderlys very well. Have to mention also that they both have a sense of humour, and the duo made our journey a very pleasant and memorable one. Needless to say, we were also blessed with very fine weather all the way, and I have met some very nice people from all over the world. All in all, the tour is excellent, and by far the best that I have ever experienced. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and people in Hong Kong.

Tour was well organised. Meet at airport most appreciated even though we arrived a few days earlier than most. Bus driver excellent and had amaing knowledge of Tasmania, also tour leader, both of whom had a good rapport and humour. Most hotels/motelss were great, BUT after a long day touring the buffet style meals were more appreciated over the set menue table service type - reason: after a long day, most people wanted to just eat and go back to their roomss, instead of waiting until after 8 pm for their main meal and even later for the dessert & coffee. This was especially evident in Hobart (Mercure Hadleys). This hotel, while being heritage listed and I guess very charming to some, we felt that the rooms were old fashioned and pokey - ours had 2 small windows that looked out only to a full height brick wall. Unfortunately the weather caused some change of plans but the tour leader made the best of that. Overall we thought that we got excellent value for money and would have no hesitation to travel with APT again.

The tour was really wonderful and we had the good fortune to have perfect weather. Got wonderful pictures of Cradle Mountain. My sister and I even went up on the cablecar to the top of The Nut. Very daring for us. The Gorden River cruise was majic. Again beautiful weather. The wilderness tour and visit to Sarah Island was wonderful. We were very interested in the Hydo plant too and the scenery around Queenstown.Very different. The tour guides were excellent, Les and Warren. The accommodation was first class we even got a spa bath in one of our rooms! Got to love that. The food was the only bit I could find place for improvement. The third night I got very dried overcooked roast beef served to me and had to have it replaced. It also took very long to be served . But we had wonderful company and it didn't spoil the evening. It also took very long on the last night in Launceston to be served. All in all , we loved the whole experience and wished we had taken the longer tour to see more of the east coast. My sister has gone back to Canada now with lots of good memories to share with her family. Thanks Craig for your patience in organizing it for us.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the coach captain and coach driver complimented each other with their knowledge and skill. Excellent variety though would have liked the Wall in the Wilderness included but was told this wouldn't fit in timewise. Mecure hotel Launceston was disappointment and I intend writing with comprehensive outline of basis for my impressions. My husband was ill and coach captain took over and arranged a night in hospital while he was rehydrated, this was done with efficiency, kindness and was appreciated. Coach was comfortable and other accommodation excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Tasmania! And we want to thank you for your advice and for arranging the details! You even arranged good weather for this trip!! There were 34 in the group and the bus driver (Kevin) and APT leader (Zoe) were excellent. Kevin is a fountain of knowledge about Tasmania and I assume the other areas that he narrates for. There were lots of highlights but the unusual one for us was seeing opium fields. We had never thought about growing this product nor did we expect to see so many acres of it. We also enjoyed our extra day in Hobart and evening in Launceston. Thanks again.

The journey was absolutely wonderful! The tours included, choice of hotels, meals and the coach were all very organized. Our coach driver Mike and his fantastic store of information on Tasmania was brilliant. I am so glad I chose Global Journeys & APT tours and I have already announced my recommendation of Tasmania as a 'Must See' destination to all my friends and colleagues. The ruggedness and beautiful wilderness is a memory I will always treasure. Thank you for making it happen.

I have been meaning to send you an e-mail regarding the tour. It was just fantastic! The weather was perfect and the wonderful commentaries by the two gentlemen who conducted the tour were so informative. It was my first trip to Tasmania and we saw so much of the island and learnt so much of its history. Accommodation and meals were excellent. Personally, I would have liked a little longer at Port Arthur as there was so much to see. Many thanks for your help in organising this for us.
