• 5Really enjoyable

  The maximum group is 11 people so we can go to many places and not waste time waiting. Richmond Village is beautiful and quaint. Because I had to leave before 9am, I couldn't get into Old Hobart Town. Port Arthur is wonderful. Guide Jarrod gave us a lot of interesting and useful information, and managed the time appropriately.

• 5A varied and fun day

  Our great tour guide Scott fit so much into the day from the first stop at lovely Richmond, many scenic nature spots both on the way to and from Port Arthur, the Port Arthur lavender farm and even stopping for people to buy fresh oysters on our way home. We also had a boat trip at Port Arthur. Scott was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and good humoured. We had a fun and informative day. Highly recommended.

• 5A great day out.

  Our tour director Jarrod made the trip very enjoyable. He kept us informed about the local landmarks and history and took us to some excellent viewing sites. We had plenty of time at Port Arthur to explore and appreciate the historic buildings and wonderful surroundings. Jarrod picked us up and returned us to our hotel making the outing very smooth. We would highly recommend the tour.

About Port Arthur

Port Arthur is a former convict settlement on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, with ruined prison buildings among green lawns above a quiet bay.

Port Arthur stands on the Tasman Peninsula, south-east of Hobart, where a penal settlement operated between 1830 and 1877. Sandstone ruins of the penitentiary, a church without a roof, a model prison and officers' cottages stand among lawns and trees beside the bay. The site is part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage listing.
