- DWDennis· November 13th, 20223 days is the correct description- not 5. ! Misrepresentation!! At no point was I advised that this tour was tacked on to a longer tour !Show moreTrip date: November 2022
Narelle· October 23rd, 2022Not enough time at Port Arthur, I advise not to do the boat trip included it's a waste of precious time, also the guide in Port Arthur very well informed but again to time consuming as you only got limited time to RUN to see everything, which is so unfortunate.Show moreTrip date: October 2022- VBVanda· September 23rd, 2022The tour was great due to the efforts of our bus driver, Tom, and Gary out tour leader/commentator. I felt that it was a bit misleading that the tour said 5 days when it was in fact only 4 days with a drink the night before. The content of the trip was great and I will be back to do the East Coast highlights. Loved Launceston, Bicheno, Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay. Not so keen on Port Arthur but I guess it's a must see.Show moreTrip date: September 2022
