5.00Highly recommend! Great if you just want to see Hobart and don’t want to drive and get a bit of history at the same time. I just did the loop. Ran out of time to get back on!

5.00Hop on Hop Off is always a good experience and makes sightseeing very easy. Only thing to watch out for here (and this may be seasonal - for me this was November) they only run hourly and finish quite early.
Good city bus tour

4.00We booked this before our arrival in Hobart as we wanted to be able to get a tour of the town before going on to see individual parts. It certainly delivers. Bus was clean and comfortable and the commentary informative (supplemented by comments from the driver. Having done the tour we went back later and used it to go back to the Cascade for the Rivulet walk

5.00This was my second time visiting Hobart, but my first experience on the hop-on hop-off bus—and I was genuinely surprised! The route took my partner and me to places we’d never seen before, and the guide’s commentary brought each stop to life with fascinating historical insights. Whether it’s your first visit or you’ve been before, this tour is a fantastic way to discover more of Hobart.
