Experience in the snow combined with the sight of snow covered trees on the way. excellent views of the city on the route. So lucky to be in Hobart and be on this tour when it had snowed heavily for the past two days. Our first trip to Hobart and has inspired us to revisit for a longer period.

Well worth it to get driven up and explore!

Robin was a great tour guide and this trip well worth it to get yourself up the mountain in one piece. Not the easiest of road to drive and we got up there seamlessly and will expert knowledge from Robin. The view is amazing and 1/2 to 45 minutes is enough time to explore and see most of all its view before it gets too cold!

It was an amazing experience. Brilliant commentary on the way up and down. I loved the historical information. I would recommend people stay longer than 30mins at the top. 30mins just didn’t do Kunanyi justice.

The best shuttle bus!
Erika_E
, Jul 2022
Tony was an awesome and knowledgeable bus driver and tour guide who gave us a deep understanding of Hobart's history. Definitely worth getting the shuttle bus up to Mt Wellington as the roads can be narrow and windy, we felt very safe on the Explorer Bus even with our infant. We were rewarded with a beautiful view at the top!

I am happy that I chose this tour. David was a great guide. The only thing that I would suggest is to increase the length of stay at Mount Wellington. It is such a beautiful spot and I think I would have loved it more if we had more time there instead of just spending about 30 minutes.

Dear Shairose_S, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! We love to get feedback from our travellers. I totally agree with you Mt Wellington is an amazing spot, and is certainly a place where you could spend a lot of time! May I suggest next time you travel with us you use the Hop-on and Hop-off aspect of the bus, we have 5 bus stops on the mountain, and this would allow you to spend even more time on our stunning Kunanyi/ Mt Wellington! It is such an amazing place, and I am so glad you had a wonderful time with David, I will pass on your compliments, he will be so glad you had such a good time! Thank you and we hope to see you again soon!

Dear Gaynor_S, thank you for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate your feedback on our tour. I'm so glad that you had a lovely trip with Tony up to the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington. I can understand your disappointment in regards to the foggy conditions on the day you travelled with us. The weather in Hobart can change quite rapidly, and we do recommend checking the Australian Bureau of Meteorology website prior to booking. There is a awesome 7-day forecast there which can help in planning this trip. It is sometimes wrong but mostly accurate in predicting rain, cloud cover and wind. Thank you for your feedback and I am so glad you enjoyed your trip, we hope to see you again in Hobart soon!

Dear Aida_A, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this great review! I agree with you the views from the summit of kunanyi / Mt Wellington are truly amazing. You are also right it can be chilly, on average the temperature up Mt Wellington is about 10 degrees colder than in Hobart, so warm clothing is definitely a must!

We had a wonderful time going to the top of the mountain. Usually in these tourist drives, i have seen guides follow a script to inform of all the places along the way. However, our guide David had a unique style. He told us stories, stories about what those places meant to him, his experiences of bringing other guests and he had a great sense of humour. Thoroughly enjoyed his commentary on the drive.

The commentary of the bus driver was very informative, he was also very nice.We enjoyed the drive up the mountain. We believe that the time that was spent in between the stops and up in the mountain and drive back to Hobart is reasonable. I highly recommend to anyone to do this tour in winter especially if you don’t want to take your car up in the mountain. We are locals but prefer to join the tour as we’re not sure of the driving conditions. Worth it. Thanks,
