Fantastic way to see Hobart

Jennifer_C, Apr 2024

Great way to see Hobart. Drivers and all staff pleasant and friendly and very helpful. This is the second time I’ve seen Hobart this way in 12 months. Would happily do it again, next time.

Commentary was great,...

Karen_H, Apr 2024

Commentary was great, easy on and off, friendly driver. Hobart is a beautiful place to visit even solo

Great way to view the city

Rachael_B, Apr 2024

Great way to view the city. Convenient and comfortable. Friendly operator with extensive knowledge of sites

Hobart - the southern belle

Martin_C, Apr 2024

Seeing the sometimes complex integration of heritage and modern architecture was a breath of fresh air compared with some mainland cities. Also the the commentary on the bus was very informative and the insertion of updates by our driver was very thoughtful.

Happy on the Bus

Graham_G, Apr 2024

We enjoyed the bus and found it gave us an in-depth experience of Hobart. The commentary was good and the driver took pains to ensure that everyone was having an enjoyable day.

A must do!!!

Darren_H, Apr 2024

Great information.. Great views.. comfortable ride.. on time everytime. Bus driver was a funny bloke.. full of additional ad on knowledge

Worth the trip

Deborah_O, Apr 2024

Great commentary along the way. We got off at the Botanical Gardens and it was so lovely, we spent most of our day there. Well worth seeing, especially on such a beautiful sunny day 😎. The bus was a bit chilly on the upper deck.

Buses not keeping to timetable

Dianne_C, Apr 2024

It was a fairly good experience however we were wanting to get off the bus at the penitentiary. We were upstairs and 3 of us pressed the button to stop and the bus kept going. When we were finally able to get drivers attention he said “someone mentioned this morning that it wasn’t working “. We were late for our tour.

The tour was great but...

Denise_B, Apr 2024

The tour was great but printed timetable not correct. Was told every half hour but the time table said every hour so confusing. But very good once we found where it was

Convenient tour

ThuyLinh_L, Mar 2024

It's convenient for solo travelers like me to be able to visit all the highlights and freely explore any site wherever I want.

Fun sightseeing trip

Rachel_S, Mar 2024

Enjoyed riding the loop and seeing Hobart. Due to Fall weather the upper deck was a bit cool. Remember caps and layers. Some of the audio info was out of date, but driver provided correct information.

48hr pass is worth it

AngelaPatrice_b, Mar 2024

Bought the 48hr pass & toured Hobart for 2 days stress free. Truly a clever way to see the points of interest in Hobart. The recorded commentaries a bonus.

A great and educational day.

JanH, Mar 2024

Port Arthur has to be the most memorable, but Richmond Bridge, Tasman’s Arch and the Remarkable Cave were great add ons. The day made better by the educational presentation by “Phil” throughout the day.

Red and Blue route

Teresa_P, Mar 2024

We used the Hop on Hop off 2 day pass. It allowed us to see the city as well as get some history about the Sydney as well. We rode both the red and the blue routes. They came pretty regularly. We did not have to wait but about 15 min.

Only average bus tour

Aline_M, Mar 2024

Lovely to see top sights however had to wait a long time for buses and no audio on buses. Should have audio available.

Hobart in 90 mintes

William_M, Mar 2024

A great introduction to the city. See the beauty of the city and learn it's history. All in 90 minutes.

Was a great way to learn...

Shane_H, Mar 2024

Was a great way to learn about some of Hobart's history and seen places we wouldn't have normally seen. Great value for your money

A very enjoyable trip around Hobart

Susan_O, Mar 2024

A very enjoyable trip around Hobart. Very easy to use this facility. We thought the map could have given a little more information about the places to stop. We thought there was some sort of sculpture trail somewhere on the route but we didn't see anything mentioned anywhere on the paperwork.

Hopping off and on...

Sasha, Mar 2024

Hopping off and on wherever we wanted. Friendly service and insightful commentary. Interesting views that you wouldn't see whilst walking.

It was a great way to see...

Sharon_D, Mar 2024

It was a great way to see a the city for a short stop over. With plenty of time to hop off then hop on again.
