Phil was an outstanding tour guide and host, deeply knowledgeable about Tasmanian history. Our trip was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He took us to all the key sites, including Maingon Bay and the Remarkable Cave, and his timing was impeccable. Phil took excellent care of us throughout the journey.

By the time you got there- not a lot of time before the cruise then by the time you got back, quite rushed if you wanted to see Remarkable Cave, which we did, but as there were more buildings to go through we had to miss the cave😢

Our tour guide ,Tim was exceptional , very knowledgeable with the history of the places we visited and passed through. He had a wonderful sense of humour which made our experience even more enjoyable. The whole experience was most informative and if we had done this trip on our own, we would have been quite blaze about the history of Port Arthur and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this tour to all and sundry and if you were able to have Tim as your guide, then you really would have hit the jackpot.
