An interesting an informative tour - An interesting an informative tour thank you. We did quite a few history tours during our stay so inevitably there was some overlap but also new additions to the Norfolk story. I see it as a history jigsaw and each tour expanded on the picture, reinforced what we had learnt and provided new information and insights. I would recommend including this tour, they are all different.

Excellent: interesting and informative - Our driver and tour guide, Brook, was amazingly well-informed, passionate and interesting to listen to as he regaled story after story of the life on NI and the new arrivals throughout its history.
He knew so much and had books and reports to share.
Very knowledgeable, a safe driver and a nice all-round fellow!

A must do for all travellers to the island - Brilliant. Brook was a fabulous guide and his knowledge and passion for the history was just amazing. I’m not a real history buff but I was really enjoying his commentary.

Worth it - Excellent informative tour lasting around 3 hours focusing on Kingston. Our tour guide Rachel was courteous, answering all our questions and did not rush us through an itinerary. Offering water to guests would be an improvement. Highly recommended

Keen on Kingston - Our 8th generation local tour guide, Rachel gave us a very engaging, educational, and enjoyable tour of world heritage-listed Kingston yesterday. Her extensive knowledge, complemented by rich anecdotes, gave us a real feel for the complex history of Norfolk Island. An unexpected bonus was a spontaneous visit to the newly dug-up archaeological site of a drain near Government house. It was a very pleasurable and informative afternoon, thank you.

The best activity on Norfolk Island - Brook was our tour guide. I don’t know how to thank him enough. This is the best activity we had on the island. Brook is extremely knowledgeable. He presented the history in an unassuming Aussie way. My teenage son loves Brook’s sense of humor.
