Hobart - the southern belle - Seeing the sometimes complex integration of heritage and modern architecture was a breath of fresh air compared with some mainland cities. Also the the commentary on the bus was very informative and the insertion of updates by our driver was very thoughtful.

Worth it! - Perfect way to see Hobart. Great friendly drivers. May I suggest you take the bus tour all around Hobart and pick out the places you really want to see. You can either go around twice and get off and on at the attractions you want to see the second time or take note of them and go back to the start and take your own vehicle there. No waiting at bus stops and wondering if the bus is coming or if you have missed it. And remember it can be for two days so you can come back the next day and see nearly everything. This really is worth the investment.

Worth the trip - Great commentary along the way. We got off at the Botanical Gardens and it was so lovely, we spent most of our day there. Well worth seeing, especially on such a beautiful sunny day 😎. The bus was a bit chilly on the upper deck.

Red Bus Tour of Hobart - Good way to visit the city of Hobart & surrounds. The taped audio giving commentary was not working so our driver Paul had to give his own commentary & we actually liked it better than any taped audio we've had on the red buses we've ever been on. That personal touch knowing it was his first time doing this (with a bit of humour) made a huge difference
