5.00Great day of beauty and seeing the Port Arthur prison. The tour includes quite a bit of things to see and not much walking. Our guide Mark was knowledgeable and entertaining.

5.00Barry the driver was epic. Very funny , informarive and organised. This is well worth the money. Be prepared for a long day. Food prices at the Gallery were pretty reasonable, $2 above Brisbane pricing.
Brody was great.

5.00Brody was great. Very informative and answered all our questions. He was patient with young and old. You could do this tour yourself as they just drop you off at the penitentiary which is mostly ruins but I was glad to get a break from driving plus appreciated the additional information Brody provided about the country, flora, animals, and culture. He made the tour worthwhile.

3.00I expected it to be a World Heritage Site, but there was a cruise that I had to ask for explanations in the windy and cold weather and didn't really know the need, so I went around the bay and it wasn't so good. It was a Gray Line tour of the big buses.
Wonderful experience
