What a great day one of the highlights of our entire 2 weeks in Tasmania.
Port Aurthur was amazing and the driver keep the trip up there interesting with lots of history, stories and facts
The maximum group is 11 people so we can go to many places and not waste time waiting. Richmond Village is beautiful and quaint. Because I had to leave before 9am, I couldn't get into Old Hobart Town. Port Arthur is wonderful. Guide Jarrod gave us a lot of interesting and useful information, and managed the time appropriately.
Great tour with interesting stops along the way. Guide was knowledgeable about the area and timed his ride to comfortably appreciate the tour.
Tour guide Jarrod Dunn was fantastic, describing history, landscapes, special places to observe, great places to eat. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Thoroughly enjoyable. Only 2 couples on our tour and it was great. Our driver/tour guide (Paul) was excellent. Apart from the weather, this tour was a good as it could be.
That was a great trip. Jarrod is a very good tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely recommend this tour to everyone visiting Tasmania.
Love love love loved it!!! Seriously, as a history fan and a lover of nature, this trip blew me away. There were at least 4 stops all along the east coast to see beautiful sights like pirate bay, the Tas arch, and others. Port Arthur itself was amazing to see, and I loved every second! Thanks, guys!
