This was a long full-day tour, but well worth the time. Our driver, Phil, was most accommodating, knowledgeable, and organized our time well. Port Arthur is a fascinating place, with local guides offering interesting talks. It is a huge area to cover so the time given is certainly required. The 'Cruise' is quite pleasant and offers a very nice view of the area from the water. One recommendation might be to book the 'Island of the Dead', tour and visit the graves of those buried there. I would certainly recommend this tour, which was booked via Grayline.

Our guide Colin was a brilliant historian his knowledge was amazing. He also kept us laughing with his "dad" jokes, a lot of fun was had. Port Arthur was a beautiful place, so well cared for and so interesting. If you do nothing else while in Hobart, do this tour.

The Port Arthur site visit is truly an excellent experience...viewing all those remnants, ruined structures in the past. However, the harbour cruise was pretty boring to me as there was not much to see.

We had an amazing time on the Port Arthur tour. Our tour guide Mark was exceptionally well informed about Port Arthur and its surrounds. He told numerous factual and fictional stories to keep us entertained throughout our trip. I felt as though I really learnt some great history of this amazing place. Thank you!
