The trip and guide were very good. The reason for four stars is that 30 minutes in the Female Factory is hardly enough time. More time needs to be allotted.

Hugo was a wonderful tour guide. We probably could have spent more time at the Female Factory, but bought some books to read more about this difficult time in history. Hugo even gave us some wonderful lunch tips! Beautiful views from the top of Mt. Wellington! Much less expensive than cruise ship tour and very easy to find.
