An introduction to Hobart

It was great to get "the lie of the land" and to see a bit of everything. The information provided by the driver was good.

Had a wonderful time, lady very friendly and informative. Only comment was I booked because I loved the idea of seeing the city on the old tram bus. Turned out to be a normal big bus. Told they don't use it any more. So false advertising.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hi Roy, Thank you for providing us with your feedback. Unfortunately, due to minimum numbers not being met we had to make some slight changes to your Hobart City Tour. We replaced the stop at Rosny Lookout with the lookout/summit of Mt Wellington. We also offered a complimentary hotel pick up ( which was accepted) which is not usually offered for our City Tour as it departs in the city from Brooke St Pier. We left a message for you on 11/5 explaining these changes. Unfortunately our converted Coach Tram is not guaranteed to service every tour due to operational requirements. We apologise that your expectations were not met on this occasion, but hopefully our experienced driver guide made the inclusion of Mt Wellington an enjoyable one. Thank you again for contacting us.
