Whilst Hans remains our principal tour guide, over the past 5 years Explore Tasmania Tours has expanded to include other guides with diverse backgrounds and a passion for sharing all that Tasmania has to offer.
Our guides come from a variety of different backgrounds. Whilst most have worked overseas or interstate, they are all now long term locals. Common attributes include excellent conversation skills and a sense of humour.
All guides have public passenger vehicle licences, tourism accreditation and public liability insurance.
