A very informative tour by a very knowledgeable tour guide. Rod our driver was excellent in every way. He told us so much about Port Arthur and also the local areas that we drove through. He is an excellent driver and it was so interesting listening to everything he had to say. At all times we felt safe on the bus. An excellent tour with an excellent driver. Highy recommended.

Beautiful day trip to Port Arthur and an easy way to see Tasman Peninsula. Our driver Mark was very funny and attentive! The time we had in Port Arthur was closer to 3 hours than 4.5 hours like it says on the itinerary, but still enough to see the most important parts.

Great day with a lot packed into it. Phil, our driver and tour guide, was a delight and easy to listen to. He was very knowledgeable about the area. Port Arthur was much more than I imagined. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
