    Phil was an excellent tour guide and driver. He’s very knowledgeable and charismatic. He made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. The tour itself was great value! Everything was well organised and staff members at the site were wonderful. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hobart.

    We got there around 15minutes before the guided tour of the site at 11:30am then straight to the isle of the Dead at 1:00pm - we missed the caves as we were starving by the time we returned from the island so there was just not enough time to do the caves tour - maybe getting there 1/2 hour earlier would have been better
