The maximum group is 11 people so we can go to many places and not waste time waiting. Richmond Village is beautiful and quaint. Because I had to leave before 9am, I couldn't get into Old Hobart Town. Port Arthur is wonderful. Guide Jarrod gave us a lot of interesting and useful information, and managed the time appropriately.

Our great tour guide Scott fit so much into the day from the first stop at lovely Richmond, many scenic nature spots both on the way to and from Port Arthur, the Port Arthur lavender farm and even stopping for people to buy fresh oysters on our way home. We also had a boat trip at Port Arthur. Scott was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and good humoured. We had a fun and informative day. Highly recommended.
