Kyle was great, organised and flexible. We saw everything and more and at the best times. Richmond was amazing, Kyle’s great suggestions about stopping at Pooleys winery for a tasting followed by Wicked cheese to go with our bottle of wine to have that night in our hotel room was perfect for us. An amazing lunch at Frogmore winery, which he booked to ensure we would get a table. His advice as to how long things would take were great and ensured it was tailored just for us. The view from Mount Wellington was amazing and so worth it.
He is a local and has much knowledge of the whole area.
We would highly recommend his tours and would book again.
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!

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.
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'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.
