5.00We really enjoyed the day even though it rained, no bucketed down all day, so be prepared for all sorts of weather in Tasmania, we were not but learnt our lesson. Certainly no ones fault but we were not prepared. Lots to see and do and well worth the money. It was a shame there was no guide at Port Arthur, just talks at certain times throughout the day. The bus driver Phill was great and he tried so hard to make the day interesting and informative. A stop off at Tasmin Arch and the Chocolate shop made the day very full.
Most Enjoyable and Informative

5.00Great day at Port Arthur. Very interesting. There is self guided audio available on each building or you can do a guided tour. The harbour cruise around isle of dead is interesting. I recommend the scallop pie on the boat. Delicious. Also the walk to remarkable cave is a must do.
Great tour
