Port Arthur & Tasman Peninsula - Private Tour

Ali was a delight as a guide and driver. He had so much good information and knowledge being a lifelong resident of Tasmania. We had great conversation and tours along the way as well as at Port Arthur. When we go back to Hobart, we’ll make it a point to visit with Ali and have him as our guide!

What an amazing 3 days my husband and I had with Ali. We customized three tours including: Wineglass bay, Tasman Peninsula/Port Arthur, and Mt. Field National park with drop-off at Bonorong. Prior to our tours, Ali expertly communicated with us and helped us organize three days tailored to exactly what we wanted and then re-confirmed all the details subsequently a few days or so before our trip. And he delivered on all of it! He is professional, flexible, and pretty darn funny too. After nearly 70 countries and countless tour guides over the years, we feel Ali deserves highest recommendations. Thanks for a great time.

Without question, our tour with Ali exceeded our expectations. We would book him again in a heartbeat. He was prompt, accommodating, informative, and easy going. His historical knowledge and insight was also very helpful. We particularly enjoyed talking and learning about his perspective regarding life in Tasmania today. The places we visited were also beautiful, and the lunch and coffee stops were perfect. Overall, a great day!

Ali is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and his books car is very comfortable. I had a wonderful day going to Port Arthur and seeing all the stops along the way. We saw the oldest bridge, very pretty brick bridge, and stopped for photos at amazing scenic spots on the Tasman Sea. We stopped for lunch at a lilac farm that had fresh and delicious food. Port Arthur is a on a peninsula with gorgeous views. The place is much more than I expected. Very large and beautiful grounds that belie its notorious past. It is not to be missed if you are in Tasmania. I highly recommend this tour with Ali.

What an excellent way to experience the Port Arthur Historic Site! The Site is a fantastic window into the region’s history as a penal settlement, and its surrounding scenery is spectacular. Ali’s itinerary allowed plenty of time to explore the Site and delve into its storied past, and his informative commentary throughout the day really added to the experience. The tour also included stops to enjoy views of some of the Tasman Peninsula’s impressive coastline, and a visit to the historic township of Richmond. Ali not only provided terrific commentary, but he was great to hang out with for the day (he was also a valuable source of info on Hobart’s food scene). I look forward to being able to return to Hobart and take another of Ali’s tours!
