What some of our clients say
It was such a great way to spend time with friends and not have to organise anything. The day far exceeded our expectations.
We chartered Sam for our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and he was cheery and very professional the whole way. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Derwent valley. We will be sure to take one of his tours when back in Tassie!
We had a fabulous private tour with Sam. From the booking to the day he was professional and informative. He planned a delightful day of wine and spirit tasting for us around our booking at the Agrarian Kitchen. With his knowledge and passion for the Derwent and Coal River Valley we experienced the best of the area. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Sam.
The Derwent Valley is a beautiful place, and Sam really did open our eyes to that as well as curating a wonderful day for our group celebration.
What a great experience! Absolutely loved being shown local spots in Hobart we had yet to discover ourselves and sharing the experience with an excellent group of people! Thank you.
