Tassie's Wilderness Icons Reviews

The trip was an excellent experience to get in touch with the pure nature. The tour is very well thought and structured. The guide and driver are highly professional and lovely people to deal with. To travel by coach was not a problem at all, because it stopped frequently enough to stretch our legs. The hotels are good and hospitable. The food was very ...read more good to consider variety and freshness. I want to express my special appreciation to Kirby O'Connor who helped to book this tour and acknowledge her highly profession approach to work and polite manners. It was my second time I've travelled with Global Journeys. I was impressed so much by their services after I went on a tour in New Zealand in 2010. Well done.

Global Journeys' service was excellent. No criticisms at all - ten out of ten. The AATKings tour was also good - very well organised and the leader was very informative. Things I personally did not like so well were (1) The early starts with bags out an hour before departure; (2) Too much time spent sitting in the bus. I would have preferred to visit ...read more less sites with more time to walk and explore; (3) A little too much commentary on the bus. Some time for quiet contemplation would have been good - without music because not all tastes are the same.

I am writing this note, on behalf of my parents, Stella and George. They decided to go to Tasmania for a short holiday and we chose Global Journeys after a few quotes and enquiries, with other companies. Both my parents were pleased with the whole trip. From the day they arrived to Tasmania, to the last minute returning to Melbourne, they enjoyed a ...read more well organised tour, and an amazing experience. They came back wealthier, with more memories and more friends. Thank you for giving this amazing opportunity to my parents.

Excellent tour. Well managed from the time of booking to the conclusion of the tour. The coach was very good, the tour Director Burt and the tour driver Smiley were so good and they were always thinking ahead of the group at all times. The group itself was well balanced, good company and made many new friends. The overnight stays were comfortable and ...read more the meals were great too. What we saw of Tasmania during our short stay, exceeded what was expected.

Well, we have returned home after a fabulous Tour of Tasmania. All went extremely smoothly in every regard. We were met at the Launceston airport by our tour director, Katherine, and driver, Peter, and taken to our hotel. From there everything went as per itinerary, and we had 50 onboard! Both Katherine and Peter were highly proficient in their roles, ...read more as well as being most helpful in the little extras, such as loading Judith's seat-walker and making it available when needed. Accommodation was excellent, as were the meals, and we loved Tasmania! Although it had been a non-guaranteed tour initially, I'm sure everyone was pleased with the trip as the weather was lovely, apart from one day on the Gordon River cruise, and we were well accommodated on the boat, so it didn't really matter. So, thankyou for all you did to make this possible. We have been singing your praises to all concerned, for we have been most appreciative of your efficient responses to all our enquiries. If there is anything else you want to know please let us know. Maybe you can help us again sometime! In the meantime, please accept our gratitude for launching the tour for us, and following through to make things happen.
