This is a very good way to see the city and get to Hobart’s attractions . The on board commentary was a great history lesson for for us on Hobart I would recommend a 48 hour pass, we had a 24 hour. There is so much to see we could not see all we wanted to
Great was to get around!

We had a fantastic couple of days using the bus up to mount Wellington and a city tour around Hobart. Paul was our driver on both days. Highly recommend both trips. We stopped off at the Botanical gardens which are definitely a must.
Hop in and relax!!!

While the actual bus hop on hop off was a wonderful experience allowing us to see the beautiful city of Hobart we feel that the experience was a little disappointing as far as the actual boarding of the bus. We waited over an hour in the queue to board the bus. We appreciate that everyone hot of the boat at the same time and there was a very high demand for this type of transport but perhaps you should make people aware of the wait times involved even after paying for a service upfront. We had people in the queue who didn’t even have tickets purchased yet board the bus before us and have led up the queue discussing that they should get on the bus as they spent 1 hour waiting. I suggest there should be a disclaimer made to make prospective passengers aware that just because you paid upfront doesn’t guarantee that you will actually get a set time journey
Best way to see Hobart

Great tour, informative comentary. The driver's jokes were a bit much, but I will give him points for trying. Perfect way to get around Hobart and see the lay of the land. Would definitely reccomend stopping at the Botanic Gardens, absolutely beautiful.
