Using Tasmania.com to organise our holiday was a great move. Traci was so helpful, the whole process so easy and we had the best trip! Highly recommended, really didn’t have to do any planning of our own, everything was covered for us with so many suggestions of things to do, places to eat etc.

I went on a 7-day Tassie exploring self-guided tour with Tasmania.com, and it has been a great experience. The plan was detailed with lots of options. Accommodation and car rent were good, and the staff were friendly. We were taken care of from the beginning until the end, so I highly recommend others traveling to Tassie to try the website.

We usually arrange our own itineraries when travelling, however, the arrangements Jacki suggested and then arranged, proved to be so helpful. I would definitely use Jacki again in the future.

Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania. Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle. Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection. A huge thank you from both of us.
