Sean our tour guide was lovely and very accommodating. Weather was unfortunately overcast but was a nice tour. Would recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that Sean made your Mt Wellington tour enjoyable — he’s certainly a lovely and accommodating guide. It’s a shame the weather didn’t quite cooperate, but we’re glad you still found the tour worthwhile.
Sadly it was too cloudy to see the view from the summit after a wet morning but Sean our guide did his upmost to find an interesting tour . He was very thoughtful , punctual and a careful driver . We saw a platypus cavorting in the wild and he offered to drop us wherever we wanted back in the city . Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Even though the clouds didn’t quite cooperate at the summit, we’re really glad to hear Sean did everything he could to make the tour interesting and enjoyable. He’ll be delighted to know his thoughtfulness, punctuality, and careful driving made a positive impression. Spotting a platypus in the wild is a pretty special moment — we’re thrilled you got to experience that. And it’s great to hear Sean’s flexibility with drop‑offs helped round out the day. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope the rest of your time in Hobart was just as memorable.
Great tour up the mountain. Spectacular views & excellent tour guide/driver in Phil. Just the right amount of time & no excessive walking.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the trip up the mountain and that the views—and Phil’s guiding—made the experience memorable. It’s great to know the tour length and pace felt just right for you as well. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon.
Alan was an amazing driver and tour guide, took great care driving up Mt Wellington. Would recommend him and Grayline tours highly.
Thanks so much for your recommendation. It is very much appreciated!
I had the chance to have a private tour as was the only one who booked the tour that day! What a view! Didn’t expect it to be that windy!!
