The tour was fantastic. Tour guide was no. 1.
Mark is a very good tour guide. Overall experience was great.
If you don't have enough time and you want to see many things at one go, then this is the tour for you. It's not only for you to go to Port Arthur, but there will stops along the way to enjoy the breathtaking scenery that Tasmania can offer. There are two tours where one just go to Port Arthur, and another is this tour with the visit to see Tasmanian Devils. Since we were here in Tasmania, might as well we visit the devils, right? That's the only difference between these two tours. For those who wish to see Tasmanian Devils, you will be dropped off at the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, and you will spend 1 hour there (which I think a bit rushed but we managed to listen to the Tasmanian Devil presentation). For those who do not choose this, you will be sent to Port Arthur straightaway. So after that 1 hour, we were sent to Port Arthur. We went for the cruise (which was awesome and gloomy as well with the history of the place). The place was just massive, but me managed to go to the important buildings around. Overall we were happy with the tour. Oh by the way, along the way, they played a DVD on Port Arthur convicts so you were in the know about some of the convicts there. Just wish that the video presentation would be more interesting
