PIcked up at our hotel door and treated to afull day tour to this very inetersting site. Very satisfied with the tour and our driver. Recommended
Superb.. lovely day out with a great driver who was very knowledgable.
Excellent tour - bus trip interesting and informative, Port Arthur tour excellent, plenty of time to explore on your own. ! didn't expect Port Arthur to be so beautiful - some lovely gardens and impressive buildings. I learnt a great deal - there were 'horrors, but there was also a rehabilitation program of training in trades. Very interesting and enjoyable day.
This was my fourth visit to Port Arthur and the best! Kevin our driver made the whole journey interesting and entertaining. The only change I would make is that the boat cruise is scheduled later in the day as the 1.pm time interupted the flow of the seeing the buildings. I highly recomment this tour and make sure you get the Kevin trip!! Desmond
This was a well organised tour which gave us plenty of time to explore the site and learn something of the past. We enjoyed the day with Tasmania turning on glorious weather.
Very pleasant day. Lots of time to see all of Port Arthur. Some beautiful scenery on the way.
Had a great day, very relaxed and nice to just let someone else worry about the details, highly recommend this day out if you haven't been before...
The bus trip to Port Arthur was very informative and relaxing. Port Arthur is a national treasure. After the initial talk by the guide we were left to explore on our own. What a memorable and beautiful place. Thank you Tasmania for looking after our heritage so well. I think schools should send their classes there to to appreciate our own history.
The bus driver was good, friendly and informative on the way there and back. Once at Port Arthur we were given clear instructions on what was where and how to make the most of the day. Walking around the site was easy and the signs and paper guide were informative. The time at the site could have been 1 hour longer to enable a more relaxed walk around and have time to spend on the island of the dead, which I didn't do.
A very beautiful historical site that you must travel to learn about the history of Tasmania.
in spite of the wet weather a very enjoyable trip.
The tour was brilliant! The bus driver/guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, I am unable to climb steep surfaces, but received assistance from the Trolley/Cart driver who roams the site assisting where required. He was able to drive us to the top of Port Arthur where I was able to really get a good view of the ruins. Only downside was I felt the tour could have been a little shorter as it felt like a very long day. Overall a wonderful experience
Excellent. On time, comfortable (even though full) with enough time at all stops. Competent driver with entertaining commentary.
Bad service from the tour guide! He arrived at the hotel about 15 mins before pick up time and rang the bell a hundred times! My mum and I lived in Elms of Hobart, which is a very old but fabulous house and we were embarrassed becasue the tour guide woke up everyone in the house! He made me feel he is angry with us. I think he does not love his job at all. For the whole day, he did not talk with customers, careless, cold and sometimes impolite. The worst thing is he asked for tips at the end of the day. To those who gave him a dollar or more, he behaved like their old brother who did not want to say goodbye. To those who gave him nothing, like me,he behaved like we were totally invisible in his eyes. I do not think his performance deserves any tip. Anyway, this day tour disappointed me very much. Although Port Arthur is a fabulous place, our mood was ruined by the guide from the beginning of the day. I have to say WE HAD A BAD DAY!!!
Beautiful landscape over the area, so it was a bit hard to imagine the horror once existed here. Partly rainy day, but it didn't matter, because you can hide inside the buildings and explore them during the rain. It was also nice to stop to take some photos during the way to Port Arthur. Knowledgeable guide.
