Loved this trip to Mt Wellington. Paul was out driver and delivered excellent commentary. Although it's was cold and gusty and we didn't stay and do any walks it was well worth the visit. I have yet to do the hop on hop off Hobart trip but looking forward to it

Brilliant trip up to the summit of Mt Wellington. Lots of laughs thanks to the driver's humorous delivery of both local history and local culture. Whole trip took about 2.5 hours and was worth every penny. I'd recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see more than the centre of Hobart but doesn't want it to take a whole day

Highly recommend! Easy to access from cruise ship or port. Great driver/guide, clean/safe bus. Beautiful ride to the top of, and down from the mountain with gorgeous views at top! Then jump on the hop on/hop off directly after Explorer bus! City tour is lovely and our Explorer bus guide recommended we get off at the brewery and take a nice walkabout in town from there. So we enjoyed a great flight of beers at the brewery and then a "bush" walk in town where we spotted a wallaby! Great short visit to Hobart this way!

Wonderful experience. Timely and comfortable bus services. Much appreciating the narratives that Tony the bus driver shared about the geography, history, flora and fauna of the areas along the way leading to Kunanyi / Mount Wellington. I was thankful that Tony willingly offered to take photos for any passengers travelling on the bus if they so wished. He took great photos too! Amazing views at the Pinnacle at the summit of kunanyi / Mount Wellington. There are various bus departure times in a day, so I had the flexibility of staying longer at the Pinnacle, catching the next bus back to Hobart.
