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
Delightful, informative tour. A great day.
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.
Weather was great, Tour was great!
Tasman Arch and Devil's Kitchen were worthwhile extras. Isle of the Dead tour and tales most interesting.
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
Well worth the trip! Loved the Isle of the Dead tour though a little rushed. The only negative in the day was the bus driver's inappropriate commentary on the way down, asking us to imagine the horrible stretch marks and breasts of his ancestor after having 22 children. He also gave the wrong tickets to a couple who got off the bus. When he realised he said "Oh well, they don't speak English anyway".
