Great experience! Christian was quite the host, such an enthusiastic local, that shared with us beautiful landscapes and tips. Would recommend.

Weather was perfect, view from the top was stunning. Not too crowded, tourbus was nice. Tony the tourguide qualifies for Tasmanian Dad Joke Champion of the year. You might want to bring warm clothes as the summit can be a little chilly if it is windy. Good value for money.

A great quick tour - awesome if you're pressed for time but still want to see a little more than just the city. The views from the top of the mountain were absolutely stunning and we even got a breathtaking rainbow!! Thanks Tony for all the info (and jokes :D)!

A great tour even for 2.5 hours trip. Walking to the top of the mountain was an exhilarating experience. The view of the city of Hobart was amazing. Thanks to the bus driver and tour guide, fantastic communicator. We learned a lot about this beautiful place called Mt. Wellington. Highly recommended.

It was crazy windy at the top. Do not wear a dress or skirt! The view was spectacular and the guide was friendly and helpful. Completely worth the money, especially it you like exposed views!
