Shawn our driver who dropped us off at the Cradle mountain visitor centre is lovely human who drove my partner and I to the start of the OLT. *Spolier Alert* as I am writing this review, we made it through out of the track alive, with minor injuries and a lot of great souvenirs. David, Leo are really good with emails and communication to help with the organisation of the transport to and from the start of the OLT. Ian our second driver who brought us back to Launnie was really lovely and even stopped on the side of the road to show us a Tasmanian echidna. The trip of a lifetime and all made even more incredible through the simple booking process of the transport. We will be back and highly recommend eGuide as the best solution for all our/your transport needs.
Thank you
Ian

I had a wonderful experience with Eguide! The communication was clear and friendly from the start, and the pickup was right on time. The guide Lan was knowledgeable, easy-going, and made the whole trip enjoyable and stress-free. Everything was well organised, and I felt really well looked after. Highly recommend Eguide to anyone visiting Tasmania!

Marie and Ian both provided a great experience getting to and from Cradle Mountain. They were lovely and friendly, providing plenty of information on the region and excellent suggestions. Marie was an excellent driver and we had some great discussions on the way there. Ian was kind enough to take some little detours on the return and show us some lovely local spots. Communication from David and Rosemary in the lead up was also brilliant. Definitely worth it for those who anticipate having trouble getting around Tassie!

David was super responsive and helpful. Some of the other companies may be a bit flashier or some options in price may vary, but I honestly wish I had booked eGuide for the return trip from Overland Track, because the other company was yes, a little cheaper, but they were kind of grumpy. Whereas all the eGuide drivers I encountered through text or in-person were always lovely and nice to talk to—and I wasn't really in a talkative mood because I was super nervous, but my driver made me feel really at home straight away. Loved eGuide being part of my Overland Track journey and would 100% recommend—and also want to use their services for the next Tasmania adventure!

We booked with eGuide to provide a shuttle service between Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain national parks after walking the OLT. David the business owner and Ian the driver were both excellent to deal with. Great communication while arranging the booking and the actual journey was convenient, safe and comfortable. We can highly recommend this service for anyone needing to get from one location to another without the hassle of trying to book tour companies or public transport.

Marie was an excellent driver and guide. She shared a wealth of local knowledge during the trip, both about the Overland as well as other hikes and places in Tasmania.
Pick up was a breeze, with great clear communication from Marie.
The team was able to accommodate our booking tailored to our needs at short notice. We were one of the first to arrive at the visitors centre which meant we could get in the first rangers briefing and head out on the track early.
Would definitely recommend Marie, David and eGuide to anyone requiring transport!
Thanks Marie & David 😊

I had very pleasant dealings by email with David from eGuide. David was very fast in replying on emails and explain what logistics made most sense for us after landing in Tassie to try tackle the Overland Track.
Ian, the driver that drove us at drop off and pick up was very professional and obviously a very experienced driver. Very pleasant and safe driving from a passenger point of view. Also very timely on times we had agreed on. I will definitely recommend David and eGuide to anyone else needing transportation in Tasmania.

Highly recommend eGuide for providing transfers to and from Cradle Mountain/Lake St Clair.
Dealt with David in the initial planning and coordination of our transfers. He was very responsive and accomodating with a couple of last minute changes to our itinerary. Hasslefree and safely looked after our bags whilst we were on the track.
Ian was our driver for drop off and pickup. Ian was very knowledgeable of the area and the history of the Overland Track and Tassie in general. He also knew the best cafes and bakery for early morning coffee and sausage rolls.😃.
Would thoroughly recommend eGuide for all your transfer needs.

We used eGuide for the return shuttle from the Overland Trail hike. Booking with them was great and they were extremely helpful. The driver was a gentleman who had incredible knowledge of the areas we were travelling through which made the drive back to Launceston fly. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Excellent and friendly service.
Picked me up Deloraine and dropped me at Cradle and then met me after 7 days at Lake St Clair to return me to my van. Really reasonably priced for solo traveller.
Also was the David was the only one who realistically told me that I may be slower than my friends who had done it previously...my pack was 22kg and I am 153cm so may have been obvious
(FYI- I was 1.5 times the "recommended ' times so the tip was good)
Also hired PLB for $30 which I didn't set off.
Highly recommend and would definitely use them for with Sheffield or Deloraine if you have a car

Thanks David and team for your great service allowing us to walk the Overland track. Allowing me to drop our car off at Lake St Clair the day before our walk and then dropping the 4 of us off at Cradle Mountain, from Sheffield, the morning of the walk, worked a treat.
Staying in Sheffield the night before the walk was also enjoyable.
Noting that many walkers were envious that we had our car awaiting us at the end of the walk!
Thanks again for a great service.

I've just returned from an amazing independent winter traverse of the Overland Track travelling with friends and family and owe an enormous thanks in no small part to David and Marie Hearle from eGuide, based in Sheffield Tasmania. Leading up to the walk, David provided valuable advice on logistics and options for dropping off at the start of the walk and picking up at the conclusion. Owing to severe weather conditions at the northern end of the walk, at short notice he and Marie accommodated a complete re-think (which they also provided positive feedback based on their extensive knowledge) so that we could do the walk in reverse. Their communication at all times was excellent and their pick up times as both ends was punctual. They have also offered a discount if we use them again or recommend them to friends or family. I have no hesitation in using eGuide for other walks on our tick list in Tasmania or recommending them to others doing likewise.

From the moment we were picked up at the airport by Michelle until we were dropped back in Launceston by David I could not fault this service one bit. Both David and Michelle are very knowledgeable in the area and can tell you the names of mountains and areas to visit and eat. They are very friendly and helpful and easy to get along with and David does his utmost to make sure your trip goes as expected. We even were able to buy gas from them. Thanks to them we had a hassle free transfer from Launceston airport to Cradle Mountain, walked the Overland track and got picked up at Lake St Clair and transferred back to Launceston....its a wonderful service, thank you both very much.

David was most accommodating with changes to our flight' which caused several changes to our itinerary.
Marie picked us up from Launceston and she shared such great tips about the OT as she drove us to Sheffield for the night. David picked us up early ti take us to Cradle Mountain and could be at the first safety briefing. Due to the forecast of a hot day we beat the afternoon heat for the first leg of the journey.
David and Marie also arranged to have our overnight bags delivered to the Derwent Bridge Hotel for our first night out off the OT, bliss!! They also arranged our transport to Hobart the next day.
A big thank you to both for making our Overland journey, stress-free, it was nice to be able to rely on such genuine knowledgeable people and would highly recommend them.

It took us 2 extra years to finally make it to the start of the Overland Track and David was there with advice and updates on everything from border closures to weather conditions and itinerary along the way. David and Marie are a lovely couple who know so much and were generous, warm and so flexible with our many false starts. As keen hikers, their enthusiasm and knowledge of the area were second to none. We will definitely be back, David and Marie. Thanks for making our long-awaited trip so memorable

David and Marie run a great little operation. It's almost too good value, I felt like I was ripping them off. We had a trip planned to do the Walls of Jerusalem circuit in mid November. The weather didn't play nicely so we stayed at Wild Dog the whole time, but had an amazing experience.
Marie picked our group of three up from Launceston Airport and we had a quick, pleasant transfer to Sheffield. Marie is very knowledgeable and readily offers up tips for the adventure to come.
The following morning there were low temps and quite a bit of rain about, so Marie made the wise decision to pick us up in a 4x4 instead of the usual people mover, for our trasnfer to the Walls of Jerusalem trailhead.
The friendliness, hospitality, and flexibility of this operator is exceptional. Give them a go.
