It was so wonderful! Super educational and great value for money! I rode the bus to the top then hopped off lower down the mountain on the way down at Fern Tree to have some lunch and do a wonderful bush walk to Silver Falls (highly recommend for those not super into bushwalking but who love nature). I finished that and then hopped on the next bus heading down. My guides were Greg and Paul and they were amazing! Paul especially had so many fun educational facts. The group was also so lovely and I made some good friends as a solo traveller!

Hi, John the tour guide is very good. The only thing when we went to Mt. Wellington that day is very snowy, didnt really had a good view of Hobart. As in zero visibility. Will visit the place again if it is summer. Overall rating for the transport and tour guide is 10/10

Amazing views from the top of Mt Wellington. We got off the bus to do the Organ Pipes walk which was an easy walk and truly beautiful. However, the walk down to the waterfall should have come with warnings. The grade was relentlessly downhill and the footings difficult. How all three of us got down to the waterfall safely was l surprisingly. Also, signs need to be upgraded.
