Mt Wellington

Mt Wellington was good, I visited on a day where there was fog, so it was good to experience the view when the fog lifted.Christian the bus driver was wonderful trying to make it a fun trip.

Wouldn’t do it again

Sorry, have to give a f thumbs down. 4 of us booked, as Tassie locals, to do something a little different. One of us is frail and cannot walk very far. Booked and paid and confirmed that we could get on, and get back off at the Casino, but when we boarded, the driver said there wasnt seating available and there were already a few standing. We managed to secure a seat for our 84 yr old. Off to Cascade for lunch in the sun, and only able to get the bus again at 1.40, straight to the botanical gardens for a coffee and back on the bus at 3.15. We were told back at the Information centre in Davey Street that the bus didnt go back to the casino.!! Had to book a cab .. only to be told half hr later that there wasnt seating available any taxis available! We eventually hailed down a passing cab. NOT good that between the 4 of us, we'd paid $180 for a very brief journey, not enough seats, the vehicle motor noise was too loud to hear the commentary, and a very stressful ending. Maybe a tourist is happy with that, but as locals, we just think, "what a rip off"

Nice trip marred by prattle from driver

Nice trip. Great view. Driver Tony seemed competent and co-ordinated skilfully with other traffic on a steep and narrow route. Positive experience much lessened, however, by driver’s commentary. Too much. Too many Christmas Cracker-standard puns, too much juvenile talk about the laddish joys of drinking alcohol. Too much talk altogether.

Check the time of the Mount Wellington tour. The tour was good but the bus was cramped. Drivers were good and very knowledgeable.
