5.00Ross 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...

5.00It 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.

5.00Ross 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.
Love ports like this.
