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.

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 =].
