Thank you for such a wonderful review.
I’m really pleased to hear you had such a great day with Jimmy. He has a fantastic way with guests and really enjoys shaping the tour around what people want to see and experience, so I’m glad that came through. It sounds like you managed to fit quite a lot into the day — from rainforest and waterfalls to a brewery stop and even some local cherries along the way.
I also appreciate you mentioning the help Jimmy gave your wife. Looking after our guests and making sure everyone can enjoy the day comfortably is very important to us.
Thank you for choosing to tour with us while visiting Hobart, and for recommending eGuide. We hope your wife recovered quickly and that the rest of your trip went well.

We had booked a shore excursion with eGuide Australia for our Norwegian Cruise Line stop in Burnie, Tasmania—this was our first time using their services. Unfortunately, due to severe weather, the port call was cancelled just a few days before arrival.
As soon as I messaged David from eGuide to inform him, he responded right away and processed a full refund immediately—no hassle, no delays. His communication was outstanding throughout: prompt, friendly, and very professional.
It’s great to see a company handle unexpected situations like weather cancellations with such integrity and speed. David truly went above and beyond to make things right, which left a fantastic first impression.
If we visit Australia (and Tasmania) again in the future, we will definitely reach out to eGuide without hesitation. Highly recommended for cruise passengers looking for reliable, local tour operators!
Thank you, David and the eGuide team!

We booked a private tour for Cradle Mountain from Bernie. The booking process was very smooth. Unfortunately, our cruise line canceled the port of call the very last minute (the evening before the planned tour). David was very gracious and helpful, proceeded a full refund in the very next day. We really appreciated how this unfortunate situation was handled, and looking forward to a future opportunity to visit Tasmania.

We used Eguide for transport to and from Lake St Clair from Launceston for a 5 day hike in the Pine Valley Area. The service was great from start to finish. They were really accommodating to our ferry times and our driver Ian was a great bloke. Will definitely use them in the future! Cheers Billy

A wonderful Transfer experience to and from the walls of Jerusalem . Going to was punctional and friendly. Returning was an above and beyond experience. I was able to contact David from Lake Adelaide via my Garmin mini and arrange an unscheduled transfer out. Two others showed up at the walls carpark a day early unannounced and David cheerfuly took them on board, rescheduled other connections and drove well out of his way to collect their luggage from a location where they were loaded up for the scheduled next day , and even cheerfully agreed to their request for an unscheduled meal stop. Then also managed to get me to my 17:35 flight to Melbourne. A remarkable display of logistics and driving. What a gentleman! Thank you David.

Our small group of 8 seniors decided to book eguide for transfer from Devonport to our cruise ship in Hobart and return. One of the best decisions we have made. Service was excellent. emails answered immediately, nothing too much trouble to accommodate our special needs, pick up at our individual doors and delivery to the cruise terminal. Many thanks to Shawn and Marie our wonderful drivers. They were cheerful and very helpful with luggage and help on and off coach. Very comfortable ride. Very highly recommended for promptness, helpfulness and general efficiency. Thank you so much David and team you made our excursion just that much more memorable.

We had a helpful and thorough experience with David. Contacted him early for transport options for our Tassie hiking plans, and we pieced our shuttle itinerary together. As it got closer to the trip we had to tweak a couple of times, but it all worked seamlessly and the communication from David, Shawn & Ian was a big reason why we had such a great trip without needing to hire a car in Tassie.

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

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!

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 😊

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.

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!

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.
