A great tour! - I really enjoyed this tour, made even better with tour guide Rob who was excellent!
We didn't go to the Chocolate Factory as there were 2 large buses already there, and the wait would have been ages.
Doolishus van was a welcome sight for food and drink.
The Lavender farm was lovely, although not as big as I expected. The gift shop had some lovely things and I could have spent an hour in there!!
Finally to The Tasman Arch, When you first see it, it takes your breath away.....spectacular!
There is so much more to Port Arthur than the penal colony and I am so glad I did this tour. Thank you Rob, our guide and driver!

Great half day exploration of the Tasman Peninsula! - Our guide was great…waited a few extra minutes for us to get off the tender ship from the cruise ship. The pace was quick, but not hurried. We got to see a lot in a short amount of time, which was perfect for having to take water shuttles to and from the cruise ship.

Must do experience with Skye! - From start to finish the Hobart Highlights day tour was a perfect blend of sights and information.
Immediately on meeting our friendly guide Skye, the tone was set for a relaxed day. Starting with enough time to wander the amazing Salamanca markets then up to the top of Mount Wellington, Skye kept us engaged with informative commentary and friendly banter.
This small group tour accommodated everyone's interests and provided flexibility.
We had a fantastic day.

A better choice - Better value for the same experience as the shipboard excursion. Sights that we have not seen, despite several visits to Hobart and Port Arthur. Very pleased that we booked this tour.

We had a great time. We saw some of the sites over a relatively short time. The fish and chips were fantastic, - Great taste of the experiences available in the area. Need to be mobile enough to climb in and out of a small Bess. Also some of the stops require walking up hills on dirt tracks.
