The tours of this nationally important historic site are extremely popular and attract great numbers of visitors all year round. A tour includes:

	hearing the stories of the female convicts
	viewing the archaeological digs
	exploring the Memorial Garden
	visiting the Matron's Cottage
	visiting the site shop

Visitors cannot fail to be moved as they walk through the area with one of our trained volunteer tour guides who talk about the history of the female convicts and their lifestyle at the Female Factory, the buildings as they were at the time, and the restoration and archaeological work currently being carried out.

The tour lasts between an hour and an hour and a quarter and includes a visit to the Memorial Gardens and the Matron's Cottage.

As a memorable end to the tour you are able to visit the Site Shop and purchase a selection of the range of hand made chocolate fudge, truffles, and other quality Tasmanian products.
