Hobart Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour – it is a must activity - Great experience with this Bus Tour. I recommend purchasing the 48-hour ticket. Defiantly will be in the bus for the two days. It is a great way of seeing the old city and the modern part of Hobart. Many stops to suit all interests.

Hobart Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour - must do with Red Decker - Another great experience with Red Decker Tours. Purchased the 48-hour ticket. Great way of seeing the city loop and Hobart without the hassle of driving. Various stops to suit all interests. On my first ride, I did the full loop to get my bearings and then selected the points of interests for the remainder of my time in Hobart. Tony was the Tour/Bus driver on both days. Had a great sense of humour and very informative. 2nd day Tour/Bus driver Greg joined us as he was learning the ropes to take on this tour. He also was good for a laugh and sharing of information. To me, having a sense of humour is a great ice breaker when people are meeting each other for the first time.

Excellent trip - Such a great way to see the important landmarks around Hobart. Our guide was very informative and helpful and we certainly gained a lot of knowledge about early life in Hobart.

Great way to see the sights without driving - We didn't have much time so we didn't hop off, but we were able to get a sense of the area from the bus. Good commentary to help us learn a little bit too.

Highly recommend for overview of city and transportation - Friendly driver and easy to see the city and get overview of where things are so you can go back to visit specific areas. Nice to use for transportation too.

Great Hobart exploration. - It’s a great way to explore the city as a form of transport and information. Not as good if you are just going around the centre of town.

Great way to see the popular sites of Hobart - Booked this for my dad whilst I went to hike wineglass bay and he had a great day on the hop off hop off bus. Stops at multiple stops around the city. You're also provided with a map aswell of the stops and sites to see. In the book provided there's also some little discount coupons too that came in handy for some other attractions or places to eat. Would recommend.

Poor explanations - If you have little time, why not, but the explanations provided along the way are quite disappointing and lack consistency.

Disappointing and not worth it - Whilst we totally enjoyed the experience of the tour around Hobart and the opportunity to not drive ourselves, this tour has its fails. We understood the limited schedule because it's May and colder/low-season ... that sort of made seeing any of the attractions along the route difficult for getting buses back to the city centre. We were at the tour for the first bus of the day. But we were recommended by the driver of our bus to go to the Hobart Penitentiary, do the guided tour there and then get the next bus through an hour later. So we got off the bus, went into the office at the attraction, only to be told you can only view by pre-booked tickets AND the tour is 1 hr 45 minutes. She also told us that she had informed Red Decker bus company of this on numerous occasions. We were so disgusted that we walked all the way back to the beginning of the route at the Info Office and waited half an hour for a bus to go the route without getting off. Given ... you see a lot of Hobart if you just do the whole round trip without getting off. But what's the point of that? We wanted to see the Female Factory near Cascade Brewery as well. But the driver said it's quite the walk down to it and uphill on the way back. We'd have had to get a bus 2 hrs after getting off, which meant well after lunch getting back to Hobart - where we had a reservation for lunch at 12.30pm. We found out from another couple on the bus later in the day that getting to the Female Factory isn't that bad and that we'd missed an amazing experience by not going. We would not recommend doing Hobart this way.
