Keagan was phenomenal as our tour guide. I learned tons of history about Abel Tasman and how Tasmania got it's name and some of it's former history as Van Diemens land. We learned how most cities and towns got their name (spoiler alert, copied and pasted from UK cities and towns) and learned way more than I ever thought I'd learn about mining and the rocky geologist. If you are a fan of dolomite, you're in for a treat.
Keagan was super knowledgable, super friendly, and enthusiastic the entire time. I've been around the world from Kenya to Iceland to the Cook Islands and more and I would hire a Keagan every single time if it were an option. Thanks Keagan, thanks Anthony and thanks Under Down Under for the fantastic experience!

Had a great time on this tour with our guide Natalie! Natalie is an amazing tour guide and always accommodating the needs of everyone in the group (there was a big range of ages on the tour). All of the stops on this trip were great it's hard to pick a favourite! I would recommend going to optional activity The Ship That Never Was in Strahan.

We just finished the Super 7 tour of Tasmania. It was outstanding. Our group of 21 included a variety of ages from 20's to 70's (I'm 70) with the majority being young. We enjoyed our group very much. Each day offered a new adventure with some history, nature, and a few choices of hikes to accommodate different fitness levels. We were fortunate to have excellent weather throughout the tour.
The motels we stayed in were good enough. Many in our group stayed in hostels. The bus was a bit cramped but okay.
The real key to this tour was our exceptional guide, Evan. His infectious personality provided a relaxed atmosphere among the group. We laughed a lot. Evan did a fantastic job of providing appropriate information at exactly the right time. He advised us correctly about the difficulties of the various hikes and what to bring with us each day. Evan knows where all of the coffee shops, bakeries, and toilets ("lemon-squeezing stations) are in Tasmania. He is also knowledgeable about the history, flora, and fauna of Tasmania. Evan has so many great stories to tell.
This is an energetic tour. Some individual hikes last 3 to 4 hours. It might have been too difficult for us a few times except for Evan's advice and help. Somehow he has the ability to look after everyone in the group even when they are doing different activities or the same activity at a different pace. Amazing!
We are so glad that we toured Tasmania with Under Down Under and recommend it to you.

I can only concur with the review stating that the bus was far from ideal. In particular, the back row of seats (for those unfortunates who had to sit there) made seeing things extremely difficult and meant that every bump in the road could be felt as it shuddered its way through the body. However, the tour was otherwise tremendously enjoyable. I have been on many tours where the tour guide acted as nothing more than a bus driver or where the tour guide had knowledge about a limited number of subjects. However, Tim was an extremely knowledgeable and passionate tour guide, who is incredibly enthusiastic about Tasmania and everything that the island has to offer. Having been to Tasmania before, I was concerned that there may not have been too much for me that was new. This proved not to be a concern. It was wonderful to visit places I had been to before and to many new places and Tim added to the whole experience by sharing his extensive knowledge on such a wide range of subjects. Spotting the wildlife, such as platypuses and penguins, in nature highlights the trip.
