        Exceptional Day Trip with Outstanding Guidance
        We had a fantastic time on the day trip to Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park, thanks to Alex's exceptional guidance. Despite the long drive, Alex skillfully broke the journey into smaller segments, allowing us to visit additional attractions and capture stunning photos along the way. During the hike, Alex was incredibly considerate and responsible, ensuring everyone stayed on track, felt encouraged, and remained safe throughout the adventure. This thoughtful approach truly made the trip enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!

        A mixture of adventure and relaxed scenic views. The pizza at devil’s corner is great. The road trip is long but good for people without carsickness to take rest and the roadside views. Alex, our tour guide also stops at multiple pit stops for toilet and photo taking opportunities. He is always ready to help with our requests.

        Fabulous full day tour
        A long but full day visiting the iconic East coast of Tasmania at Freycinet Peninsular with scenic photo opportunity stops, time for coffee and a wonderful lunch at a winery, and a walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout. Return to Hobart via beautiful Richmond and it’s historic village. Wonderful friendly and helpful guide, Alex. We even saw whales on their migration south!!

        Perfect Day Trip If Short On Time!
        With only 1.5 days to cram in as much as possible, this tour was perfect to really feel like I got to make the most of my short time in Hobart/Tasmania. Alex was the perfect tour guide. On time, knowledgeable, friendly and catered to all abilities and needs. This tour is well worth it and great value for money. Thanks for a great day!

        Fabulous Day
        We loved the day trip with Alex. We had lots of stops to look at the scenery and areas on interest on the way as well as a stop at a great bakery. We walked to the Wineglass Bay lookout which was a great walk and amazing scenery on the way then breath taking views at the top. Then a picnic at Honeymoon Bay which was gorgeous. A stop at Kate's Berry Farm for the best ice cream ever, Richmond Bridge and Rosney Park lookout on the way back. A fabulous day with a great guide. Thanks Alex we loved the trip.

        Road tripping to Wineglass Bay & Freycinet via Richmond
        My group of friends did this day trip to Wineglass Bay with many stops along the way and lunch at a Devils Corner Winery. The day was long and early start at 7am and returned around 6pm but we enjoyed the company and the scenery along the way. Out tour guide Alex was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to any of our groups requests. Would recommend this tour.

      Alex(Alexandro) is a tour guide with great knowledge and experience highly recommend for everyone to attend. He drove very smoothly and every 30-40 minutes he would let us get out of the car to stretch and go to the bathroom. There are many stops on the way to the bay such as the famous bakery and the bridge in historic Richmond. If you book the shuttle bus to Richmond, it will cost aroud $30. It takes about 40 minutes to climb up to Wineglass Bay lookout point, which is very hard for me (people who do not exercise), but when you get to the top and see the view you will feel is worth it. On the way back Alex stopped at the Devil's Corner Cellar Door for us to have lunch and after that he stopped at the Kate’s Berry Farm. I bought a super delicious ice cream (super large), some chocolate and jam. Thank you Alex we enjoyed our day trip.

      What a brilliant day trip to Freycinet made possible by our fantastic tour leader and driver Alex. Small group of 7 made it easier but Alex went out of his way to serve our needs. He looked after everyone and knew exactly what each of us wanted. My wife struggled on the walk up to Wineglass lookout and he did everything to help. He constantly sought feedback on what the group wanted and made changes to itinerary to suit us. He was humorous, friendly, open for conversations and very knowledgeable of the area. He was also an excellent driver.

      The locations visited were great. He gave us ample time at each place and was always with us every minute of the way. We were never in the bus for more than an hour so lots of time to explore and stretch.

      Our trip to Wineglass Bay & Freycinet was everything one could want in a tour.
      Not only did we get to go on a fabulous journey to an incredible destination but,
      our tour guide Alex was a superb host who was more than happy to go out of his way to ensure everyone was looked after and enjoyed the experience.
      He is very polite, courteous, fun but also very knowledgeable of the local history and kept us all enthralled with his stories.
      He kept my wife and I fully informed about pick up times, place and any possible complications that could arise due to the Hobart marathon that was happening.
      We could not recommend Alex any higher, he is very, very good value and we would definitely recommend all our friends who want to visit Tasmania in the future to get on this very tour.

      This tour is well worth it Alex our guide was friendly knowledgeable and very accomodating to make everyone’s day enjoyable. The bus was comfortable with only a small group. the stops were exactly as described plenty of toilet breaks and opportunities to get different options of food. Despite wet weather during our hike we found it a wonderful trail and well worth the effort for the views. This trip is highly recommended.

      Loved the visit to Devils Corner for a quick wine taste and feed. Would recommend weekend visit for a higher chance of a musical performance. Views were beautiful, didn't feel rushed at any stage of the tour, but would've enjoyed a bit more time for Wine Tasting.

      After a great day touring the east coast and Freycinet National park, which of course includes stunning views of Wineglass Bay, its wonderful to be able to visit a local winery and sample some local produce, or if sweets take your fancy, Kates Berry farm is always a delight. These are just two of the great destinations that Wineglass bay Discovery tours will share with you! It’s lovely that you wanted to spend more time, it’s very tempting most days but unfortunately it is just a day tour! Glad you could join us.

      We started early at 730am and went direct to Swansea with a couple quick scenery stops and curried scallop pies along the way. Completed the Wineglass Bay walk and followed by a swim at Honeymoon Bay.Sensationasl and fresh! Lunch was at Devils Corner winery, with a quick beveragino at the oldest pub in Tassie - ye Old Buckland Inn. Probably should have swapped stop to the Richmond hotel as well, such a beautiful little town on the way back to Hobart.

      Alex was a great host and told us all about where we were with historic info as well. Nothing was a problem for him.

      Definitely recommend chatting with him prior to booking via his Facebook page so you can customise what you are after

      Alex the guide was very nice, but the whole tour fell off the tracks, when there was low cloud and we could not view wineglass bay. After that it was chaos just visiting uninteresting beaches in the area, just filling in time until visiting the underwhelming ‘winery’ which basically charged you for everything and the food, which you had to buy, was ordinary, as was Kates berry farm; they both just try to sell you a product, no education, no effort to accommodate the group. And to top off an unexpiring day, Alex decides that the 4 oldest persons on the bus can walk a couple of blocks to their hotel, instead of dropping them off, which was the arrangement. This tour was not worth the money and just stunk - mainly because the bus was old and the air conditioning didn’t work properly!

      Well, if I knew who you were I would address you by name in answering your review. Let me start by saying that unfortunately the Tasmanian weather is not something any of us can control and it is disappointing when it does not align with our tour. But we do our best to make the day interesting, still visiting the sites we can see. Most people enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the winery for lunch and our itinerary states that lunch is not included in the tour price. I’m also surprised as I don’t think I have ever received a negative remark about sampling sweets at Kates berry farm! Now, while the bus is no longer in show-room condition I can assure you it is not old! It is my office and my livelihood. As such it is regularly serviced and cleaned thoroughly after every tour. The air conditioner works perfectly fine but it too was challenged by the Tasmanian weather as temperatures began to increase throughout the afternoon. As for the four customers who chose to get off and walk to their hotel, they did so due to the inconvenience of Hobart’s one-way streets and traffic congestion that would have further delayed their drop-off by 15 minutes or more. We always appreciate feedback from our visitors but it sounds like you were having as bad a day as the weather we encountered. Kind regards Alex (owner, operator, “very nice guide”)

      Fabulous and full day trip with Alex proving to be a great tour guide. An early start but the bakery stop off made for the perfect late breakfast and coffee for us! The walk up to the lookout was comfortable for us (we are walkers in our 60s, 70s) and the track itself very well maintained. Alex was flexible with the itinerary (within the time constraints) and as the weather permitted we had a beach stop and even a dip for the hardy at the end the walk. Late lunch at a winery was just right and the stop at the berry farm for ‘dessert’ was well timed. It is an all day excursion but so nice to have someone else drive and keep us entertained and informed. We had a great group of people along with us. We happily recommend this trip.

      We had the best day so far in Tassie. There was a great mix of people on the bus who all got into the spirit of being on holidays. The day was full of laughter and magnificent photo opportunities. Alex our tour guide was so lovely and joined in all the fun. A truly memorable day. Just a tip, if the bus is too hot, too cold or the music is too loud or you can’t hear what is being said, tell Alex and he will sort it out. Please don’t leave a bad review as it’s very unfair and can impact his livelihood. Thanks Alex. DG

      I thoroughly enjoyed my day but there were a few little things that I think need to be improved which is what stopped me from giving a 5 for this experience.

      Overall, Alex was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and he had very interesting stories. I struggled a bit with the climb to the Wineglass Bay lookout as I don't do well in the heat, and I am a severe asthmatic and do carry excess weight, but he was very understanding and accommodating. He kept trying to motivate me which was nice and I appreciated that. Alex was a good and safe driver also and all of the stops were very interesting and I enjoyed. It was frustrating having lunch very late in the day, but thankfully we all had a nice stop in the morning at a bakery where we all ate something which helped. I would have liked a longer top in Richmond too, but I understand it's not really possible.

      You do need a reasonable amount of fitness for this tour. While I knew that was the case, and I'm not the fittest person in the world, but can usually do anything, I didn't realise how strenuous the walk would be on my body to get to the lookout, so you need to prepare yourself. You need to be in comfortable clothing, have good walking shoes, a lot of water, bug spray and maybe even some snacks. I thought given it was Tassie and it was cooler, mozzies wouldn't be an issue. How wrong I was.

      Compared to other guides I've been with on walking/hiking type trips, guides have always had with them top ups of water for their clients, bug spray, sunscreen, hydralite tablets etc. I would have liked to have known in advance that this sort of thing wouldn't have been supplied or may have been needed. If I had known that Freycinet had a huge mosquito issue, I would have coated myself in bug spray and brought some along as I did have some back at the hotel. I thankfully brought my own bottled water and sunscreen but the others in my group didn't as they thought it would be supplied. I was however very appreciative that he had some spare hiking poles and that hiking pole Alex leant me kept me going as I don't know if I would have made it otherwise.

      I just felt he wasn't as prepared as other guides are out there, but still a very good guide and I did enjoy my day. I think you just have to prepared to supply absolutely everything yourself - particularly water and bug spray. The mozzies at Freycinet are insane. I am still, a week after coming home, coated in itchy mosquito bites all over my legs and arms from my day. Don't forget your bug spray.

      The scenery is spectacular, absolutely breathtaking, and you will enjoy your day, but it's a very tiring day. Make sure to get a good night sleep before hand and don't forget that bug spray!

      Thank you for your detailed review! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Its a good idea to wear comfortable shoes on a tour that includes walking, as listed on our website. We also suggest you bring a water bottle which can be refilled prior to walking to the lookout. Sunscreen, Insect repellent and sanitizer are available on the bus for client use. The tour does not include food but we provide the opportunity to purchase food and drinks when we stop at the Swansea Bakery for a morning break at around 9:30. Snacks to enjoy later in the day can be purchased at this time. Lunch break time is negotiated within the group, normally around 1:30. I am really glad that you made it to the lookout to enjoy the views of Wineglass Bay
