Great day and a great tour led by Jarrod who was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Saw some amazing places on the way to Port Arthur - everything was extremely well organised and nothing was rushed with plenty of time to see the highlights - would highly recommend

Myself, my husband and our adult son did the tour together. Our guide Paul was brimming with local information and you could tell he really enjoys running these tours. We stopped at some amazing places like the tessellated pavement, Devils Kitchen (our absolute highlight) and the Tasman Arch. It was interesting and enjoyable to see Port Arthur in person and learn more about the history of this very significant place. Richmond is such a lovely little town with lots of things to see so we went back the next day to spend a bit more time there. The only down side for this tour is that as you have to travel quite a distance to get to Port Arthur from Hobart you don’t get to spend much time in each location. All in all we had a great day.We loved our tour. The tour Leader, Scott, was prompt and welcoming from the beginning! His knowledge of the sites and Hobert in general was very good.

Port Arthur is a must-see for all Australians, for multiple reasons. It is beautiful, historic and its history is poignant to each Australian. We packed so much into the day without feeling rushed. We would definitely recommend this tour &/or company to others!Excellent experience. Ideal number of interesting places visited and time spent at each one was perfect. Jarrod’s knowledge of the area and way in which it was delivered was great…not too much and not too little 😊

We had the BEST time. Jarrod met us at our hotel as arranged. From this point on we had one of the best days. The bus is comfortable and great to travel in. Jarrod has a great knowledge of the area and the history connected to the tour as well. He is such a lovely young man and has a very personable way about him. At each place we stopped he accompanied us and explained the significance of the attraction. Highly recommend this tour. Excellent value and great tour operator. Thanks Jarrod for making this such a great day. Leslee, Karl, Eleanora and Jim . Monday 15th May 2023
