This is my first tour in...
This is my first tour in Hobart and I can say, it is incredible. Of course, as a solo traveller, safety is a must and so far they always make sure all of us are taken care of. The guide give us a lot of time to enjoy every stop , especially the port arthur tour. Very friendly staff as well and theres nothing more I could ask for. I highly recommend this tour.

Stunning views!
The rugged shoreline of Port Arthur is absolutely stunning! The entire staff was friendly and professional, from the receptionist at check-in to the driver to the boat captain - all superb. The travel van was clean and comfortable and our boat driver passed by the cliffs from both directions and circled around so that everyone in the boat could get a fantastic views. My only recommendation would be to have a Guide at the Port Arthur Penitentiary to give us a live guided tour.

Tour too long.
The day was very, very long. Started at 7:45am, finished at 6:45pm. This tour catered mainly for people who wanted to hike in Tasman National Park, as Port Arthur is a drop off and pick up point. We spent 5 hours walking around the site and going on a brief harbour cruise, we then had to sit and wait 1 and a half hours till 4:30 for the bus. For people like myself, who only want to visit Port Arthur this tour probably isn’t for you.

Perfect Day in Port Arthur
Better than expected fabulous tour.
We did miss out on the cruise due to time restrictions. Bit of an oversight, But I was very surprised by Port Arthur brilliant.

Day well spent
It was all well worth it. Ben was amazing in showing us around and giving us information about history. Loved Pirate bay, Port Arthur, rich history there and vast grounds. Enjoyed lavender ice cream from Richmond to end the day.

Delightful Port Arthur
This tour was a delightful and informative experience, largely thanks to our excellent driver and guide, Mark. Mark's extensive knowledge kept everyone on the bus thoroughly engaged throughout the day. The small group of nine people also contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere. The Port Arthur area and its surroundings were serene and beautiful. I wish to extend a sincere thank you to Mark for making this such a memorable trip.

Great way to see Port Arthur without a car
This tour is a great way to see Port Arthur without a car. The visit to Port Arthur includes a harbour cruise done together as a group with the remaining time left free to explore Port Arthur as you like. Our driver/guide Rod was very knowledgeable providing a lot of history on the drive and plenty of recommendations for things to eat, see, and do in Hobart.

Its a good experience. Needs lot of walking though to cover port arthur and other walking trails. My guide shared good information and spooky stories about the convicts..😅

Port Arthur
Port Arthur is a must see if ever you're in Tasmania. So historical with an abundance of information of how life for prisoners and those in charge, lived back then. The grounds of the site is magnificent, with beautiful lawn areas and trees with bumble bees a plenty.
