My husband and I really enjoyed the tour of Port Arthur. Our guide Ross was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history of all of Hobart and especially about Port Arthur. Ross was fantastic, his local knowledge and enthusiasm kept our group entertained and engaged throughout the tour. We highly recommend. Thank you Ross for the wonderful day.

Ross was enthusiastic about the area and very knowledgeable. It was great to be in a small group and being personally guided around the Port with stories about the areas.
