What people are saying about Derwent Valley Council, Australia

We had a fantastic day with our guide Callum ! He picked us up on time and is a great driven in a busy Hobart Tasmania. He was knowledgeable, unhurried and courteous to all the guests in our group tour . I would most definitely recommend the tour we did , From the rain forest , to the animal sanctuary, to the town of Richmond, and then across and up to Mt. Wellington for some spectacular views , my wife and I felt it was great value for a full day of adventure . Leave the driving to someone else and enjoy the views , pleasant chatter and professional service of a guided tour . Thank you Callum , it really was a wonderful day !!

What an amazing experience this trip was! We got a skilled, informative, friendly guide to lead us through the most stuff a person can see in only 5 days. Top notch organisation. We did a lot, I was afraid I would spend more time on the bus than out there but it was not the case. We saw some beautiful parks, towns and lots of wildlife which would be incomplete without our guide Keygan's expertise. I feel very fondly about my time in Tasmania and it's all thanks to Under Down Under.

It was a really nice trip with beautiful stops. The tour guide was kind and friendly. We had a great day. I can definitely recommend this trip!

Right on time, excellent commentary and tour guide helpful and friendly at all times.

This is a worthwhile trip if visiting Tasmania for the first time.
