I am from Germany and I visited my big family in Sydney for a month. So my schedule was fully packed and planned till the last minute.
I also planned a tour to Tasmania and where I really wanted to go was Cradle Mountain. So I was looking the tours up from Hobart, but I couldn't find a tour from and back to Hobart at all. But finally I found the day tour of The Derwent Experience. I had to change my whole schedule for this trip and I upset few people, but I am telling you it was all worth it!!!!!
Sam from The Derwent Experience is great and the experience climbing up this mountain was incredible!
Sam picked us up from our hotel, we were a nice small group and the tour bus is very comfortable.
Everything is well planned and the stops for breakfast and dinner are very nice!
Sam came with us to climb the mountain he pushed us through up to the top!
It was Amazing!!!!!
thank you so much Sam, this day will always be one of my highlights in my life!
