Nature's Splendours

The boat cruise on Macquarie Harbour was the highlight of the trip. Enjoyed the commentary, wine and cheese and the Sarah Island excursion where we scored guide "Kai D" who also ran the evening play "The Ship that never was" - she was great.

Overall it was an excellent experience. Company was great, activities varied and interesting, saw amazing sights of Tasmania and could not fault the accommodation! The tour guide was informative and helpful and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Hannah for her work in preparing our trip to Tasmania. It will went well and was most memorable. Many thanks for a great tour, Tasmania, Natures Splendours with APT. My friend and I are just back from this tour and are still digesting the many wonderful experiences we enjoyed. We would particularly like to thank Nada, our Tour Director, and Ron, our driver, for their professionalism, courtesy, friendliness and the care they extended to us all....read more I am also grateful for your efficiency, in our on-line contact, Hannah, and for your work in organising our trip. All in all, great service. Best wishes.

Our tour guide, Jeff, and our bus driver, Ron, were the absolute best. They made a terrific team. Both were extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We just wish we could have had a little more time at several locations (e.g. Stanley, Cradle Mountain). Also, we didn't realize we'd be joining a trip already in progress. This meant we had no time at all in Hobart. Had we been aware of this situation we could have come to Hobart a day earlier than scheduled and could have enjoyed...read more some time in the city. That being said, the tour was wonderful, especially the time in Strahan. The variety of activities (harbor boat ride, Gordon River exploration, Sarah Island, float plane flight to the Falls, the local community play) made for an interesting day, which was capped off with a dinner voucher to be used at a local establishment in town rather than eating another night at the hotel buffet. Only five of us opted for this choice. We were joined by our guide (Jeff) and the lead from the 'play'. We had a grand time. dealing with Georgie Walpole from afar (USA to Australia), was very easy and she was extremely helpful. Finalizing arrangements and payment were not complicated and handled efficiently. Can't say enough positive about dealing with Georgie and Global Journeys. An Aussie friend living in Melbourne had traveled with APT on previous occasions and she gave the company high marks. We certainly concur with her opinion. We'd definitely travel with APT/Global Journeys in the future.

We found the experience totally positive, with very good pace & the right length for what we wanted to experience. Excellent driver and guide, who looked after the group with compassion and understanding when it was required. We would not hesitate to recommend this trip to our friends and family. It was great!
