This is a great combo experience! The Hobart Hop-on Hop-off bus goes to many of the highlights of the area... Salamanca, the stunning Botanic Gardens, the Cascade Women's Factory, the Cascade Brewery, Battery Point, the wharf areas, the nearby beaches... it was excellent. I booked the two day pass which gave me plenty of time to look around... some I then revisited later... The Mount Wellington bus tour was superb... great tour guide with broad local knowledge and a keen sense of humour... nice visit to a local chocolate shop on the way (essential travel food)... the day was cloudy, so no views from the peak, but it had snowed the day before so it was just exciting to be up there with the snow... kids (and adults) having a ball making snowmen and throwing snow balls... some keen travellers walked or rode their bikes down the mountain! A great day out, I learned so much about the area. Thanks guys.

Probably the best value for money tour we have done in Hobart. The ability to "hop on" the fantastic double decker bus at Wrest Point Hotel then "hop off" at the visitor centre in the city, walk over the road and catch the Explorer Bus which took us to the top of Mount Wellington was so convenient and easy. Thank goodness we chose to do this tour - I could NOT drive up that road to the summit myself! Our driver was so friendly and very knowledgeable and kept us giggling with his "dad" jokes too. Value for money was on point! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour.

Loved the trip up to the mountian side. A very informative guide. The CBD tour was also informative and humorous, but seemed a little rushed? (it was the last session for the day) We willl definately be chasing a few ales down at the brewery next visit.

From start to finish, Cristian, our driver was engaging, enthusiastic and professional. The weather decided to hide Hobart when we were at the summit. Yet this did not spoil the tour. A great stop along the route at The Springs enabling us a great view. We will have to return as Hobart itself was most interesting.

Guides on all buses were not only informative but entertaining. The ticketing was confusing if you booked the combo ticket and the help phone number only goes to an inflexible American robot who couldn't answer my question.
