We had an awesome experience touring with Kyle from Heart of Tasmania! Right from the start, he was super friendly, easy to chat with, and clearly loves what he does.
The best thing about Kyle is how flexible he is—he really listened to what we were after and adjusted the day to suit us perfectly. Nothing felt rushed or too structured, which made the whole day really relaxed and enjoyable.
His near new Mercedes van was also a big plus—really comfy, clean, and ideal for getting around in style.
Kyle also gave us some great local tips on Hobart and the surrounds, which came in really handy for the rest of our trip. You can tell he’s a natural at this and genuinely wants people to have a great time.
Highly recommend booking with him if you’re heading to Tasmania!

My fiancée and I engaged Kyle for a private sight-seeing tour around the Tasman Peninsula with a trip to Port Arthur, as well as a special arrangement to transfer us to Cape Raoul for a sunrise hike. Kyle was super punctual, friendly and an all-around good-natured guy with a clear passion for his job - he was keen on sharing so many interesting facts about Tasmania, with a great sense of humour keeping things light-hearted throughout. I must highlight how difficult it was to find someone willing to transfer us to the remote area of Cape Raoul in the wee hours of the morning (he picked us up at 4am, and had to wake up at 3am himself), but he was able to accommodate this special request. He was even kind enough to make a quick stop at a camping shop after we discovered we forgot headlamps for our morning hike, which would have been essential for safety given the darkness of our surroundings at that time of day. Kyle is a caring individual - he checked with us beforehand that we would be sufficiently equipped to complete our hike safely, and asked us to update him when possible throughout the hike to let him know we were okay. We appreciated his genuine concern for us, and he even recommended numerous places for us to eat at to refuel after the tiring hike! I would wholeheartedly recommend Heart of Tasmania to anyone visiting Tassie, especially those not driving/without access to a car - the entire experience was so smooth and definitely made my visit to Tassie one for the books. Thanks again Kyle, appreciate you! :)

Unfortunately, we got to see how helpful Kyle was when my husband fell and had to get to the hospital not once, but twice. We didn't get to complete our visit to Tasmania and missed what I'm sure would have been the highlight of the trip - Cradle Mountain. In the planning stage, Kyle arranged our itinerary according to our needs to limit hiking and anything too strenuous. If we had done the trip at younger ages, I'm sure the itinerary would have been more interesting but it was perfect for us. Bruny Island was added after the initial itinerary and was not a necessary addition. Perhaps we were limited to just going from one food place to another but it wasn't all that worthwhile. But we enjoyed those few place we did get to experience like the Wildlife Sanctuary and seeing Russell Falls.
I would definitely recommend Kyle as a guide.

While we changed our plans at the very last minute cancelling the Tahune Airwalk due to forecast weather conditions, Kyle quickly adapted and offered us options, which we truly appreciated.
Kyle's patience is commendable!! Thank you for waiting for us to do the Boat Centre and the informative talk and tour. And then, totally unplanned, calling in to Dr Sawfish.
Everything about the day was EXCELLENT! The scallop pie recommendations, the great conversation and sense of humour, the informative commentary, the roomy vehicle, the side road adventures via Mt Nelson Lookout, Wrest Point Casino and Constitution Dock drive by, all made for the most enjoyable day.
Keep up the great work Kyle and Kim at Heart of Tasmania Tours.

My wife and I recently booked three tours with Heart of Tasmania Tours including Maria Island, a Hobart day tour including Russell Falls and Bonorong, and a trip to Bruny Island. All three tours were excellent! Kyle is a very good guide and driver, and is very knowledgeable about Tasmania and its wildlife. We saw everything we had hoped to see on these tours and learned a lot about Tasmania. We would definitely recommend Kyle and Heart of Tasmania Tours.

We wholeheartedly recommend Kyle for an unforgettable Tasmanian tour experience, especially for those, like us, without a driving license. Our trip initially hit a snag when we discovered that our supposed private guided tour was actually self-guided – a realization we only had upon arriving in Tasmania. In this moment of confusion, Kyle emerged as our last-minute hero. He not only accommodated us immediately but also infused the tour with his deep love and understanding of Tasmania, sharing personal stories that brought the landscape to life. His knowledge and familiarity with the local sights turned our initial disappointment into a warm and delightful adventure. Kyle is more than just a guide; he's a caring individual who goes above and beyond to ensure your journey is not just a tour, but a heartfelt exploration of Tasmania.

Just finished a 7-day tour with Kyle along the East coast of Tassie. He is very knowledgeable about Tasmania and also the wildlife creatures. The itinerary suggested by Kyle is almost perfect. His driving skill is also excellent, haven't said that we are also carrying a luggage trailer. We had a great fun in Tasmania (even we bumped into the travel peak) and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Our family (2 adults, 2 young children) had a wonderful experience with the Heart of Tasmania Tours. We were only in Tasmania for a few days so we opted for a private tour for Wineglass Bay. It's so fortunate the private tour is an option as we wouldn't have been able to go otherwise. Kyle was prompt for our pick-up time and while we had a schedule to adhere to, he never made the experience feel rushed. Kyle's also very knowledgeable about our route, Wineglass Bay, and Tasmania so we were able to learn a lot during our time with him. The ride from Hobart was long but comfortable. It took us a bit to climb to the lookout and see the entirety of the bay but it was well worth it; The next time we're in Tasmania we'll definitely be booking another excursion with Heart of Tasmania Tours.

We had a great time traveling with Heart of Tasmania, and I would highly recommend traveling with them to get the bespoke private touring experience! Kyle was a great guide with his wealth of experience, and we managed to see all that Tasmania had to offer over five days we toured with him. We were especially impressed by how he navigated the mountainous roads! Thanks Kyle for making Tassie an unforgettable place for us.

Kyle was a superb guide. ( Like a son to us!) As 'old' school friends travelling together, we had a fantastic foodie trip, even though the weather on Cradle mountain was not favourable while we were there. Got to see snow, though!
All in all, we had a fabulous time and loved every minute of our 8 day trip!
Kyle was very accommodating to all our needs.

Kyle took us on a great private day trip around the Hobart region. We loved how he was flexible with the timing of the tour since we weren't exactly sure when we'd arrive in Hobart. Kyle has lived in Hobart his whole life, so he knows all about the area and took us on all the scenic routes as we hopped between destinations like Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and the cute little town of Richmond. I would definitely recommend Heart of Tasmania Tours if you're looking for an insider's guide to Tasmania.

Kyle arranged a perfect 2 week itinerary across Tasmania for my husband and I. The details of the trip were thoughtful, touched on the outstanding sites to see, were responsive to our request for scenic but not too difficult walks, excellent food and exceptional accommodation recommendations that were accessible to towns. Kyle is an excellent driver and we found each day to be full of wonderful things to see and to experience. We have travelled throughout the world and I cannot praise this trip enough. Book early as he gets busy!

Throughly enjoyed our trip with Kyle, who provided a 7-day customised tour for our group of 11. He definitely knows the area well, and is always happy to provide recommendations to maximise our trip. Our fun-filled trip would not have been possible without Kyle (and Kim). I’d highly recommend booking his services if you’re visiting Tasmania!

Kyle's relaxed style of guiding is exceptional. No stress, no rush, just enjoyment, good conversation and knowledge sharing and fun.
Our trip ended with a visit to the Derwent Estate, definitely our favourite winery. Amazing views and Kyle's great company made this the tip of the iceberg.
Kyle goes the extra mile to make a trip super special and we cant wait to do the next trip as soon as possible.

Kyle (and his partner Kim) provide fantastic and personalised tours. We recently visited Hobart and engaged Heart of Tasmania to do our airport/accommodation transfers and a day trip to Bruny Island during our stay. Leading up to our arrival, the communication with Kyle was prompt and professional. For all our trips they were punctual and very friendly, and we had many laughs along the way. Kyle was great with his knowledge also. We had our two elderly mothers with us, and the care and consideration Kyle put into making sure their needs were accommodated was excellent. The cost of the trips were also great value for money. Would highly recommend anyone wanting to tour Hobart or Tasmania to seek them out, we will definitely do it next time.

Kyle H, Owner at Heart Of Tasmania Tours, responded to this review - 2022-03-16
Hello Vesna,
I enjoyed having your group on tour with me and when we parted ways, you and the girls had nothing but kind words to say and thanks to give. Comments were made on the day by the girls, saying you all loved to support small business doing it tough and could see the care I take with my guests and appreciated that. While we were on tour you were all very happy with the service provided and told me so multiple times. I am now shocked to read this review considering the circumstances around your booking and the quote given for your tour one week prior to your trip in Tasmania. If there was an issue on the day, why did you not raise it with me so as I could have fixed it?
To start, on your arrival airport transfer, I provided you a free trip back to town for your restaurant booking after the airport transfer. The airport transfer was charged at $70 which you knew about 1 week prior to arrival and I provided free transport aswell.
Concerning the private tour, I quoted you $110 Per Person for a group of 7 pax and even gave you a discount by not charging for one pax (Birthday Girl), which you were most happy about when when we discussed your tour on the phone one week prior to your trip to Tasmania. This is also the same price as displayed on my website for a private / personalised day tour. So I am shocked at how I can possibly over charge you, when it is right there on my website and agreed to by you over the phone one week prior? If you were not happy about the quoted price for the tour, why did you accept happily and proceed with the booking one week prior? Your statement is untrue and hurtful as I never and never will rip anyone off!!!
As to the requested return airport transfers the day after the tour, a quote was NEVER given for these verbally by me ever. Hearsay in the back of the van is not a quote, you never verbally confirmed a quoted price with me either? As to the price, you were charged $50 each way the same as an Uber or Taxi would have cost you. You for some reason? assumed I would do an airport transfer service for $20 each way + waiting time at the airport? When I completed the two transfers only then did you pay me and asked me how much and you did not argue the price. The cost was $70 for one way when you arrived on day one, so how we ended up here I am not sure?
So I remain shocked and hurt by your words and untrue statements. There is and always will be cheaper companies out there, cheaper does not always equal better. If you sought much cheaper rates why did you book me in the first place and accept the quote given? I would have rathered you book another cheaper company and be happy then be unhappy.
I focus on providing a punctual, quality, honest and friendly service at all times. Despite the above, in true Tasmanian spirit I wish you and all the girls, all the best on your future travels and trips to Tasmania with whomever you decide to travel with.

Owner driver picked us up on time right out front of our apartment and drove us in comfort to Southern Huonville area and Tahuna airwalk. Kyle was full of interesting facts and commentary as we drove through fishing villages and forests.All delivered in a professional manner with good natured Tassie humour. We loved having minivan to the four of us and Kyle was able to suggest stops on way back- wooden boats/cidery.Loved it and will use company again.
