Excellent - Amazing bus drivers - Dave and Paul were friendly, shared lots of information, and even cracked some jokes on the ride. They gave enough time at the top of the mountain to explore. I got off the bus at one stop to do some hikes, the two drivers coordinated really well, and I got on the other bus safely after. There's excellent communication between the drivers to ensure all the passengers are picked back up from the mountain. I'd definitely take this service again if I come back to Hobart.

Explore an alpine wonderland at your own pace! - Tour offers you fantastic flexibility to be able to explore this alpine wonderland at your own pace! You can hop off /on the bus at various points on the mountain and immerse yourself in the scenery as you take a leisurely walk on some of the many scenic bushwalking tracks. Tony our guide was really knowledgeable and helpful and it was just a great day exploring the bushwalking tracks then getting on the bus - made it so easy!

Mount Wellington trip - Well worth the experience - an hour bus ride up to the mountain top with great narration from Paul. Could use an extra 15 minutes on top - say 45 instead of 30. As it was drive down arrived 10 minutes early so easily the 45 could be accomodated.
