Ross provided an excellent value including transportation, ongoing interesting discussions enroute and a personalized, detailed tour of the Port Royal complex with its deep, dark and complex history. The day was quickly over. His tour groups are only 2 to 6 people so plenty of personal attention.
We had a wonderful time with Ross, who is so very knowable about Hobart and Port Arthur and would recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional excursion.
Great informative tour, would recommend it to anyone wanting to know about port Arthur. My wife and I enjoyed this tour very much
Pick up and drop off at your ship. Ross is an excellent tour guide, drove us safely to and from Port Authur and provided just the right amount of information about the history of the penal colony and the 1996 massacre.
Good small group tour. We were delayed getting through Australia customs but the driver kept checking in with us. Good drive. Driver gave us a large amount of information.
Ross was absolutely amazing!! He shared his in depth knowledge of Port Arthur and made our day! Van was clean and comfortable!
It was a long drive but well worth it.. we traveled with Bespoke tours. Only 6 people on the tour. The guide Ross was excellent. He explained the sad history of Port Arthur which was a prison for the poor of England who mostly committed minor offenses. They could not escape and we're alive labor in horrible conditions. It's in a beautiful location. We're glad we went to learn the history of Port Arthur.
Learned a lot about Port Arthur. Very beautiful grounds and so much history. Our tour included stops at the chocolate foundry and the lavender store. Our guide Ross was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Ross picked us up from the ship. He was very professional and friendly. He took us to Port Arthur, with stops along the way. He gave us the option of walking around on our own or he could come with us and be our guide. We were happy for him to come along and he was very knowledgeable on the area.
Right in the heart of the city!. Walking is easy to anything you want to eat, shop, etc. post office and information centres both close by. Lots of local venders in the terminal itself and free wifi!
