Easy to book online. Great bus, clean and efficient. The best driver, who was funny and informative. Lots of people so lines were long (2 cruise ships had docked) but the staff managed this well. Great way to see Hobart and to be able to get on and off if and where you wanted.

Really transparent booking and first hop on stop ... really friendly driver on both my hop back on,s.. great advice and guidance with both personal interaction plus hard copy booklets and maps. Cascade women's factory is a must, a must to allow appreciation of what women have today ! Cascade brewery excellent too. Thoroughly recommend this little 1 1/2 hour round trip ( if you don't get off).. Hobart is a gorgeous historical city.
