Fun way to explore Hobart

Definitely worthwhile going on the trip. It should definitely run later, especially in Summer, and some of the buses speakers were not good (hard to hear). Automated commentary does need updating, but overall experience was great.
Spectacular!
Published on Jan, 2025
The drive to the top was in itself spectacular! And then, once at the pinnacle - Wow!
We were lucky enough to go on a sunny blue sky day so could clearly see all of the Hobart region laid out directly below us and 140km across hill ranges to the North.
Our driver/guide Greg was very informative about a whole range of relevant topics as well as being extremely courteous.
Would thoroughly recommend, particularly on 1st day of a Hobart visit as it really places the city into its physical context.
