Reviews
Andrew was informative, entertaining and responsive to questions. We recommend this tour to other visitors to Tasmania. We really appreciated the early morning pickup being exactly on time.
Great value for money. Staff and drivers made it a great experience.
Great tour to Port Arthur. Our guide Mark made the trip informative, humourous & efficient. Truly enjoyed it!
$77 Port Arthur trip is a fair price and the day I went was sunny and warm. Mark who was our tour guide as a local people has a lot of knowledge about the place and very kind to share with us. I definitely recommend this trip to you all.
This Bruny Island tour was awesome!!
We had the best guide/driver (Bunzy) and group. Ferry trip over and back was great, with beautiful views everywhere you looked.
We enjoyed large, fresh oysters, honey and ice-cream, cheese, a fun filled lunch at Bruny Hotel, a nature walk and beach views. The lookout at the lighthouse was worth the walk as were the breathtaking views at The Neck.
We had the best day, we chatted, laughed, took pics and enjoyed the tour and each others company, so much so, we continued when we got back.
Definitely Recommend!
