Our pic up was 1.5 miles from our hotel!At pickup hotel ,no description offered by company.Pickup was 1.5 hours before ferry sailed.The only guide on this “tour “ is a volunteer on the Guns experience,there are no other guides of any kind.Only return time offered was printed on the ticket that is given to you at Hillary’s office.Isalnd experience is as just OK,we would not book again!

The train ride was scenic and my son loved being able to drive and press the horn. The history tour of tunnels was informative.

The island is beautiful. The train journey was fun. The tour of the gun and tunnels was very interesting and the guide extremely knowledgeable. Overall a great trip.

The admin staff for the tour were excellent, can’t fault their customer service. The train and tour was absolutely 5 star , very enjoyable and amazing guides. The ferry experience was ‘ mass transit’ nothing individual or special about it- think rush hour in a school bus out and a cackle of drunk pre-adults back. The transport to the ferry from the CBD was ok- the way back was terrible , took 90 mins , mostly with the brakes on maximum or jumping over speed bumps .
