The lady at the pier counter , where you check in for the tour was very unfriendly, I would say even rude, unforgivable in the tour industry, so got off to a very bad start. She should be sacked.

The view from the top of MT Wellington was sooo amazing! I would recommend not to missed it if you happened to visit Hobart.

Graham_G

The bus trip to the top of Mt Wellington was good and the driver, Colin, was excellent in every respect. That was the best part of the activity unfortunately. The ferry trip to MONA was good. The best part of our MONA experience was seeing the actual space: how it had been carved out of the sandstone. As for the content of MONA it was largely pretentious and at times crude rubbish. We were very disappointed and we would not recommend the activity to anyone.

Angela_S

We loved the Mt Wellington tour, the bus driver guide was excellent. The MONA was over rated, I was not impressed by their art range or the fact that many exhibits were closed or you had to find them ( digital guide was poor) and then que digitally, the stair wells smell of cat pee 🤢 it also thought it was rude to make us walk up the 99 stair when there was a beautiful tunnel entrance we could have gone through not nice to do at midday ina heat wave and then we had to walk downstairs to the entrance to get a drink of water 😰

I loved this trip. Darren was a fantastic and funny guide. Hw had great knowledge . Best to do on fine day as views from mountain stunning. MONA definitely worth a visit.

Brian_J

Both the Mt Wellington tour and the Mona visit were memorable. Although it was amazingly cold up on the mountain, it is something you have to do when visiting Hobart, also the visit to Mona was something that we will never forget, but hard to put into words,

It is the most amazing 360 degree views. We were very lucky because the morning started off cloudy but by the time we arrived at the top it had all cleared and Hobart was spread out below us, it was just an amazing, you can't beat the view from that height.
