We had a fantastic day with Curly on the premium tour. She was a wealth of knowledge on wine (especially bubbles) and was a super friendly guide. We loved the wineries we visited and the lunch included at Josef Chromy. The countryside was beautiful with its autum hues. I would 100% recommend this if you are interested in sampling the best of the Tamar Valley wines.

3/5 would probably suggest a pretty average experience but I would have actually given it a lot higher if they had gone through with the Mt Wellington section of the tour that we paid for. Through no fault of their own the roads were closed and had been for days before our tour but we were only informed of it while we were on the bus. We do feel Tours Tasmania misrepresented this and could have called/emailed ahead and given us the option to pull out or reduced fee. Mt Nelson was a poor substitute at best. That being said, our guide David was exceptional and really saved the tour for us. He was friendly, knowledgeable and loved to talk about everything in his city. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and learning from him. Overall, we feel the company did a bit of a bait and switch on us but David did manage to salvage the day to an extent. I'd recommend checking all locations are available before registering a tour with these guys.
