Felt like I was being a nerd going on a tourist bus in Australia but I really loved it. Was such a great way to see the city and the opportunity to get off and on as we desired was great. My only regret is that we didn't do it earlier in the day so we could have got off at more places =].

The whole experience was fantastic, ticketing so easy and staff/ drivers and the running commentary really informative. Drivers could add their own bit which was fun

Used the hop on hop off service twice during my stay, it was so well organised. Really user friendly and easy to hop on and off. The drivers are super friendly and informative. An easy way to see the sights and hop off when you want to see more. Highly recommend!

We wish we had done the tour on day 1 of arriving in Hobart as it gave us a perspective on what is in Hobart, how big it is and where things are. The booking process was very easy and our bus driver was very informative and friendly.
