Reviews
The guide was a real asset. His commentary and humour filled in where the weather could not.
Rick was an awesome guide, we visited many places on Bruny Island and the time allocated for each activity was prefect.
Grant was an excellent tour guide. He knows his local history and is fun to spend the day with. We would defintely recommend this tour to others.
Great driver and guide. Worth every cent.
Absolutely wonderful day spent on Bruny. It felt very personal and the itinerary of the trip was relaxing with beautiful scenery. The stops for morning tea, lunch and the chocolate factory topped off our day. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Thanks Rick for a great day out. Informative, light hearted and good coverage of the Island.
Great Lighthouse climb in 45knots!!!!
