Allen our guide & driver for the day was great. He was courteous, polite, friendly, knowledgeable of the Island & a pleasure to spend the day with. Thank you.
Sam our driver and guide was phenomenal. First class service all day long. All of the products we sampled were first class. The weather was perfect which made our bush and beach walks magical. The day was a great mix of gourmet product tasting and outdoor activities. I can highly recommend this day out.
Kieran was an excellent host and we had a great tim
An amazing day that could not have started any better than with beer and cheese. Allen kept us entertained with his local knowledge and cleverly moved things around on the tour to stay one step ahead of the weather.
Thanks for the opportunity to give our amazing driver/guide Sam another pat on the back. He was excellent. He even makes good coffee. The whole Bruny Island experience, including the weather, was excellent.
Sam the guide was excellent. He had fabulous communication skills and was very informative. He assisted many passengers who had mobility issues.
