Great Experience - I was picked up outside my hotel and the driver/guide was on time. Great little trip up to Mt Wellington, with the guide pointing out places of interest on the way. The weather wasn't the best at the top of Mt Wellington, but I still appreciated the trip. We also stopped off at another look out on the way back into the city which was interesting, and the weather had also improved. Great little trip.

Great trip - We enjoyed a fantastic, entertaining trip up to Mount Wellington with our tour guide, Hugo. Despite the weather being less than favourable and hindering the fabulous views we were expecting, Hugo ensured that we received value for our money and gave us a couple of additional options to drive past and enjoy. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip.

Loved Richmond and Mt. Wellington - Evan (rhymes with Heaven) drove our bus to Mt. Wellington, Richmond, and several other sites. He was funny, knowledgeable, and nice. We stopped for hot chocolate at a little eatery and went to an overlook, we thoroughly enjoyed Richmond, and would book this tour again in a heartbeat!

Great half day tour. - We did this experience with a group of Intellectually Disabled adults, and we couldn't believe it when we saw snow on Mt.Wellington. Many of them had never seen snow, which was very exciting. It was only a half day tour, so we saw a few of the Hobart sights, but it left our afternoon free, and we had time to go to Mawson's Hut.

Kunanyi/Mt Wellington - Glen drove us up the mountain and ensured we were able to reach the top. Gale force winds, forcing us to struggle against the elements but worth the discomfort.

Great tour - Cplin our driver was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, informative and humorous> The views from Mount Wellington are stunning. One disappointment is that we only drove past the 'Womens Factory' but didn't visit which I would have liked to have done. All in all highly recommend
