4.00Had a very poor experience in Sydney on one of these tours. What a difference in Hobart. The cheerful driver added info to the recorded voiceover, it was comfortable and informative. We hopped off at the Botanical Gardens then got another bus back to base precisely on time.

Not what we expected

2.00There was nothing about this tour we enjoyed. We paid for a city loop in Hobart. Our tickets were issued as QR codes, yet when we boarded, there was no scanner available. We then sat idle in the aisle for 15 minutes at the first stop while things were sorted out. The rest of the tour felt rushed and poorly coordinated. The commentary was pre-recorded and out of sync — we were often told to look at buildings we had already passed. To make matters worse, the tour ended earlier than scheduled. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not something we would recommend.
Great
