Vast coverage during a day of bright sunshine on some of the darkest events in Port Arthur during the past three centuries. The deeply moving reminders of the recent horror were set against the confusion and inhumanity of the prison life. Simply unforgettable. Bus driver Hugo brought his extensive knowledge of the surrounding area to life. His puns would have had him sentenced for 5 years minimum.

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!

Port Arthur is the most stunning place. Not what we were expecting. The layout, information and fantastic restoration made for a 5 star visit. All the other stops and points of interest were great too. Mark the driver was a wealth of information and a very nice guy.
