Lovely day with ample time to walk around Port Arthur at your own pace after a short walking tour with a guide. Driver picked us up from our hotel on time and provided us with a very informative trip to and from Port Arthur.

Beautiful scenic location full of history. The stories of the convict settlement and the quaint cottages that remain make this a truly magical place.

I had enjoyable few days in Hobart. after checking out the great Salamanca Markets, it is a good place to have a feed and visit the fruit market.

Our bus driver, Greg, didn't put out more than an average effort. It would have been more fun with a little more energy from the beginning. The site itself, and the guides on site, were great. Very knowledgeable....We added a little harbor cruise at the end, but that wasn't really anything spectacular, unless you were getting off for one of the island tours.

Fantastic day visiting this former convict prison. The site is amazing and included in your ticket is a 30 minute guided tour and a boat trip around the bay. You have plenty of time to look around the site at your own pace which makes it all the more enjoyable. I would recommend this trip if you are interested in history.

I booked the tour for the 3rd December. Unfortunately it was a day of torrential rain and strong winds._br/_ Our driver was great and tried very hard to make the experience as enjoyable as possible given the circumstances._br/_ Great place to visit and I enjoyed taking in the scenery without driving.

Greg was a great tour guide and made the journey enjoyable with his commentary, despite the horrendous weather that day!

A very interesting and confronting day. Our Port Arthur guide Helen was very informative and interesting. It was also good to be able to have plenty of time to wander around and look at buildings and sites of interest. Great to have the boat trip as part of the tour too. Also having historic Richmond included was wonderful, even though we had stayed there one night when we first arrived in Tassie.

What an amazing place and history to it. We had almost 5.5 hours at Port Arthur which allowed plenty of time to explore on your own. 40 minute guided walking tour and 3/4 hour boat cruise are included in the price. Great value and a good day trip even if it did rain for a fair portion of the day

Port Arthur is a big place and really does need more time to explore it properly. The little bit of a guided tour you get at the beginning just give you a taste of what happened to the convicts here. I would forego the cruise so you could have more time to wander in and around all the buildings and grounds. There are little carts to help those with limited mobility get around but waiting for them does eat into your tour time.

Pick up from Hotel went smoothly, nice compact tour as there was only 6 of us in coach. Wonderful tour guide Nigel, who had a terrific sense of humour and very accommodating as one of us had a collapsible mobility scooter. All in all, a wonderful day with a wonderful guide.

My wife and I went on this trip to Port Arthur from Hobart in March. The bus driver was most informative and kept up a lively description as we travelled both there and back._br/_ The Port Arthur site is amazing and well worth the visit. Unfortunately, on the day we did our tour the weather was atrocious the rain was heavy and wthe wind was very strong. We did the boat tour just so we could get under a bit of cover._br/_ So, we are determined to return to Hobart and redo the tour to Port Arthur so we can take in the site much more comfortably!

An easy pick up from our hotel started off the day for our trip to Port Arthur. Our Gray-Line driver was very friendly and knowledgable and chatted away to us all the way to Port Arthur._br/_ Once their we were left to our own devices to explore, but did join a free walking tour, where the guide told us a bit more about the history of the penitentiary etc._br/_ Included was a boat trip around the Port so you could see more of the area._br/_ We visited on a beautiful clear day and it eashard to think about the terrible things that must have taken place there as it is suce a beautiful place.
