Andrew was right on time and gave a very good history lesson of Hobart and all the sites we visited on our trip to Port Arthur. All the stops were well paced, not spending too much time little or too long. There was no pressure to buy, at any of the stops. Once at Port Arthur he informed us of what would be the best activities to undertake and what the best timings for our visit. The additional trip to the blow hole was unexpected, but worth the 120 steps up and down. On the return trip, he let everyone just rest with no information overload. Highly recommend.

Although we missed the tour because of our ship tendering problems the folks at Tasi Tours quickly refunded our money. A great tour operator I would highly recommend.

Our guide Simon was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the sights and then some! The tessellated pavement was unbelievable! We were hesitant about this, but Simon insisted we see it. If you can go down the steps and walk on it.

Highly recommend this short tour if you are visiting Port Arthur via a cruise ship. In a few short hours we have the opportunity to explore a little more of the region. One of the highlights was the view of Tasman Arch. Our guide Nathan was knowledgeable of the area and pointed out other areas of interest during the tour.

Very nice informative driver with interesting stops on our way out to Port Arthur. Thoroughly enjoyed our day. Option of multiple pickup spots in Hobart was great with one within a five minute walk from our cruise ship.

Our guide, Mark, was knowledgeable about the history of Tasmania and made it come alive for us. Demons Land, I will always remember him telling us the story of the convicts and how not one of them escaped. Hearing about the line of dogs that were tied at intervals to prevent escape, and then seeing the sculpture was mesmerizing. Good job!

Tassie Tours were such a great company to deal with they went above and beyond to make our tour happen when the cruise ship didn’t dock there they came and picked us up and drove us to Port Arthur with Pete who was so informative about Tasmania . Highly recommended

Our 3-hr tour started a half-hour late, which put some pressure on us to get back to the ship on time. Because of that, the beginning of the tour was a bit rushed and the driving was noticeably quick. Perhaps because of that, the guides were focused on the road and didn't say much about the scenery we were passing or Tasmania in general. As an example, very little was said until after we left the first stop (a lavender farm). However, the guides did say more at other stops and readily answered any questions. The tour eventually covered all the stops and dropped us off with 30 minutes to spare before the last shuttle left.

A fabulous day out with Mark our driver and a small group of friendly people. Mark was informative, funny and considerate. We were delighted with the wit and commentary throughout the day, which included local insights and suggestions for our stay in Hobart. The bus was on time, safe and comfortable. Highly recommended!

We did this tour when we visited Port Arthur on the Cruise Ship, Coral Princess. Trent our guide was excellent and so friendly and informative. I highly recommend the tour if visiting the area on a cruise ship. Trent gave us plenty of time at each stop and did the walks with us. The chocolate factory and Lavendar farm were very nice to visit as well, as were geographical sites of the Tasman Peninsula. A great 3 hours at a very reasonable price.
