At first I was sceptical about this tour wondering why it was so long and why I couldn't go on my own. Turns out it was a great tour that got us to Port Arthur without hassle especially as we did not have our own car. The entry fee was included plus a guided walking tour and also a 25 minute harbour cruise. Not all the Port Arthur booking options include all of these and cost just as much. Finding the bus stop was a bit tricky - but we were called by the tour organiser and were guided quick enough to the correct place. The driver also gave us a history and information on the way and was fun and humorous. We got time to explore the rest of the place ourselves and enjoy the beautiful garden grounds with manicured lawns and gardens. There were 2 cafeterias on site with plenty of choice of decent food and drink at a reasonable price. It was a wonderful day and I highly recommend this tour.

A great day out. Lovely professional driver, Kieran, with modest, sense of humour. Bus left and arrived on time there and back in Hobart. Good service in my book plus organised our entry tickets, Site ID playing card and booklet to keep. Port Arthur site - well set up with great tour guide and opportunity to explore on your own. Thanks for the opportunity to learn more about the thinking in 1800s-early 20th century around prison reform, impact of rising cost of living (yes even then), and class systems. Alongside proponents of the system, it was to nice to discover there were a few heroes/heroines who quitely or loudly fought the authorities. I would like to thank the Port Arthur site committee in acknowledging the Port Arthur 1996 tragedy by establishing the memorial garden - a quiet place of reflection.

It was a great day at Port Arthur. The pick up at the Pennicot office on the what was smooth and easy, we felt safe during the bus ride which had just the right amount of commentary (and some bad jokes) from the driver. Port Arthur is an interesting juxtaposition of natural beauty in the grounds and surroundings mixed with the education of learning the life and treatment of the prisoners.
