Great views

5.00This experience was so easy. Jumped on the bus in town, the driver was lovely, and I felt safe with him driving up the mountain. We had blue, clear skies and no wind. Glad we did the 9.30 am trip, as when we left the top of Mt Wellington, the weather changed, and cloud cover came over, and the temperature dropped to 8 degrees. So our timing was great. There was enough time to walk down to the viewpoints and take photos as well. Well worth the trip if you are thinking about it.
Must do in Hobart!

5.00Great trip! Attention was paid to every detail with very informative commentary. Gave excellent ideas on side trips to take off the tour.
A cloudy day

4.00One of those days where you couldn't see a thing from the top of kunanyi (cloud and drizzle all around), but still amazing. Come for the scenery, stay for the solitude.
Great experience to see...

5.00Tony was terrific - he gave us a great appreciation of kunanyi, including the history, landscapes, and significance - and his puns were top notch.

5.00Tony was the most knowledgeable guide I've experienced in Tassie...he even knew where to find the snakes in our journey. Lots of good "dad" jokes and plenty of historical photos to make it fun & educational too!

5.00Tony was our driver and guide. He was terrific. He explained many sights along the way. We made various stops along the way, giving us the opportunity to see all that was available along the way. He made suggestions for places to eat when we arrived back in Hobart. And gave us the name of a wonderful chocolate store. Tony is an asset to the company!
A nice way to see Hobart

4.00Unfortunately the view from Mt Wellington on the day we were in Hobart was nonexistent. Cool, rainy and bleak. However the trip was made memorable by Tony’s fun and informative patter. A great guy. You will pick up more dad jokes than you will be able to carry. The hop on hop off bus was pretty typical. Comfortable seats, audible recorded commentary. A good way to get an overview of Hobart. With routes only every hour you will want to be sure that the area or areas in which you depart the bus will have enough to do and see to occupy you for an hour.
Highly recommend this experience

5.00Excellent way for me to sightsee the peak of Mt Wellington/kunanyi without needing a car, and then also go hiking, meeting the bus later in the day to return to the city. Booking was easy, communications good. Bus clean and comfortable. Both driver/guides helpful, informative & friendly. Special shout out to Fiona in Operations who went above and beyond to help me with some lost property - much appreciated!
Exploring Hobart.

4.00Unfortunately the weather wasn't so good for February. The Mt Wellington tour was completely in cloud at the top. The driver found a spot on the way up to get a view from. He was very informative. The hop on bus in the city was also very good. We had time to get off at the Botannic Gardens. It was still a good day regardless of the weather.
