Traveler reviews
Truly historical place
Second time visiting Port Arthur and it was amazing just like first time. The place is amazing. Perfect
Two experiences in one great day
Wonderful to start the day at the Salamanca Market! Gifts and snacks and farm fresh produce. Then guide Peter took us to Port Arthur where we had several hours to roam the site. I attended several talks by docents who were very knowledgeable of the site, the buildings, and the history of this unique place. Its beauty belies its history. Everything ran smoothly and Peter was an exceptional guide. Highly recommend.
Keren's experience
Salamanca time was toi short and rushed for ys who love shopping. Port Arthur couod have had a perdonal guide so that we could have benefiitted to the fullest.
Great trip to Port Arthur
It was interesting to learn about the history of Port Arthur and see many of the original buildings and gardens. The boat trip around the bay at Port Arthur was very enjoyable too.
Impactful and worth the time.
What an impactful tour. The markets tour was busy with many stalls and vendors with differing wares. The tour to Port Arthur was insightful and impactful of the period. The remains of some structures were spooky in understanding their past. The complex provided well presented descriptions of events and knowledge of the struggles of the inmates and life in a remote area of the times.
