Port Arthur Tour

My family and I enjoyed the lavender, Port Arthur and the Remarkable Cave. We found Steve’s commentary to be very interesting and had a wonderful day

Fantastic experience

The highlight of my trip! There was 5 passengers on the bus, so we had a very personalised tour. Food, travel guide and destination were perfect! I would highly recommend, definitely value for money.

Great small group tour

The tour stop by some local souvenirs shop and visit Port Arthur and Coast area. I could see the history and nature of Tasmania.

Wouldn't recommend

Only tidbits of info by the driver was en route to Port Arthur - not during return journey. Didn't introduce himself or really engage with fellow travellers, even about the sites we were about to visit. Felt safe and the transport was superb. Overpriced tour on the whole. Misleading booking info re entry fee to Port Arthur - A$20 each was indicated but actual cost was close to A$50.
