3.00It was ok but just a lot of traveling even though there were plenty of lookouts on the way up. Fortunately, the weather was favourable to enjoy the views.
Enjoyable and substantial itinerary

5.00The view on top of Mt Wellington was stunning. The driver/guide provided a comprehensive background information on the city of Hobart and its history. The visit to Mona was very interesting covering both contemporary as well as traditional arts.

5.00A lovely drive to the top of Mt Wellington. It was a bit rush, only to take photos and use the toilet, wish could have more time. Time to/from MONA was organised well. I was not into the ideas about new and old art, but food and live music was awesome there.
Mt Wellintong is great, MONA is dissapointed

The best thing is only ferry ride from Hobart to Mona.. pls seat at the back outdoor area.. so..

5.00I think the tour should be perfect if the weather was nice, but unfortunately it was cold and raining while we stayed on the top of Mt. Wellington. The tour guide was knowledgeable. The Mona museum was a very unique experience.
