5.00We caught to 9 am bus great commentary we did the round trip first just to get the lay of the tour. We then came back hop on at information centre got off went for breakfast We were told buses leave every hour.. JUST BEWARE this can change at any time we arrived back for 11am bus but had to wait till 12 to do the next tour.. well worth it to get around to see sites of Hobart

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

5.00Absolutely incredible...the Kunanyi Mt Wellington tour...our driver Tony was so knowledgeable...I was really impressed. But the 48 hr hop on/off bus came with so many extra benefits...our 2-for- 1 coffees, $20 hobart harbour cruise (instead of $70)... definitely a must buy tickets...read the full brochure.
Bus runs regularly and is...

5.00Bus runs regularly and is pretty much on time at stops. Great route taking in lots of Hobart's major attractions. Friendly driver excellent pre recorded commentary. Seats comfortable and offer good views. If you only have a day in Hobart and surrounds including the beautiful Botanic Gardens this is a great was to see them.
Great experience!

Cruising Hobart on a Double Decker Bus ticks ALL the boxes
Yvonne R,Mar 20, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00A well planned route of 20 stops for viewing sites of interest and hearing about Hobart’s interesting history. For lovers of walking I recommend getting off at the Cascade Brewery and walk the Rivulet Track back into town. You may spy a platypus! And I highly recommend the Botanical Gardens for a wander =] The mature trees are just something else! The drivers go above and beyond when it comes to customer service so an all round 10/10 from me!
