Round Trip Ferry Tour to Georges Island
eva_s, Sep 2026
Great time! We did get the “b” team, though.
I was under the impression that we could stay all day, but we arrived on a 1020 ferry, and the last ferry off the island was scheduled for 1340. We would have been disappointed if we didn’t have to leave early anyway. Don’t miss the tunnel tour. A lovely, informative brief tour. Our guide was from the citadel, so not quite as familiar with the island, but still interesting.

Great tour!
The tour narrative is informative, entertaining, and just the right length at each stop. We experienced a glitch or two with the app, but our overall experience with the app was good. The tour took us close to three hours to complete (interest in the tour content combined with slow walkers!). I would definitely recommend and would take additional tours offered by this creator/operator.
