5.00To start the tour, we drove up to mt Wellington in a small bus with Suzie as our driver. What a funny and lovely lady! As it was quite foggy that morning, the views from the peak were not great but that didn't kill the fun. Afterwards, we hopped onto the open bus for a city tour which has about 20 stops.
Worth doing

5.00Great driver commentary, not great for those who suffer motion sickness as very narrow road. Great view from top, could do with a cafe at summitt.
Good way to see the town

4.00The history of the town was interesting. The sights memorable however the only way to get decent photos was to get on and off, which was difficult due to weather constraints.
Great morning out

5.00Our bus driver Greg was fantastic with his history of the area, keeping us so well informed. It was zero degrees at Mt Wellington but Greg kept the bus warm for us. This area was such a wonderful place to be and see the magnificent scenery that was ever changing. Highly recommend not to miss this one.
Amazing

5.00On our recent family holiday we took the Hop on Hop off to Mt Wellington and it didn't disappoint! Our driver was David and he was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the region. Nothing was a trouble even when one of the other passengers stepped on a random nail. He performed first aid and we resumed our journey. The views at the top were sensational! Highly recommend and great value for money.
Great but the last on bus was too early

4.00Explorer R/T bus to Mt Wellington was exceptional, as was the driver. Hop on/off bus was educational & pleasant. Only negative was the end of day last bus, that was way too early. We missed it & had to get an Uber ride back to ship. 😭😲
Great tour spoiled by other travelers.

4.00Lack of parking longer than the tour in Hobart was stressful and I was fined. On the bus to Mt Wellington unfortunately four women sat behind me and talked loudly and non-stop. Even when the guide was telling us the local information over the microphone. Greg, the driver was wonderful, good sense of humour and did a great job. I was unable to complete any of the double decker part of the tour due to the 2 hour parking.
Great

4.00We were fortunate to have Jon, usually in the back office, but today driving and commentating. A special trip up the mountain with a clarity of description shared in a friendly manner. The weather made it special- sleet and hail came down on cue and created quite a blast- literally. Well worth the investment of $ and time.
