The most convenient and... - The most convenient and efficient way to go to Mount Wellington for an individual. The driver was kind, funny and shared a lot of interesting information about the city, and the mountain. I looooved it.

Beautiful views and very experienced tour guides! - The trip was awesome and the tour guide/bus driver was very responsible and polite. We had two very good operators - Tony (to Mt Wellington) and Paul (to Richmond), both are super experienced and provided a thorough introduction on local history and culture. Because of them, we are so keen to rebook another trip the next day, and revisit Mt Wellington again. The view on top of the mountain is simply breath-taking - we have been their morning and afternoon (next day) and experienced completely different views and feeling!

Trip to Mount Wellington - We couldn’t see much as it was very cloudy but we did manage to take interesting pics and thanks to our driver Tony and his commentary- we had a very memorable trip! Must add that he has an impeccable sense of humour and his knowledge of Tasmanian history is impressive- very well delivered information!

Fantastic excursion. - I felt very safe and confident with our driver, driving on, some what narrow sections of the road. The driver's commentary was both very informative and entertaining. The coach was clean and was in constant radio contact the other company coaches and the base. The views at the summit were breath-taking. I would strongly recommend this company to you there.

Excellent Guide Tony on Kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus Tour - Our tour guide Tony, his commentary was exceptionally good, well explained, friendly and given a lot of suggestions/tips for our Tasmanian holiday. I recommend this trip for those who have a short time to spare. Booking in advance is recommended and try to leave early in the morning will be better. We left Hobart at 3:30pm.

Wonderful views and time efficient tour! - This was a well put-together and efficient tour; great for people in a time crunch due to traveling like ourselves. Guide was informative and told interesting anecdotes & personal stories about Mt Wellington. He gave enough time at the apex to explore and take photos.
