Hobart City Sightseeing Tour inclusief MONA-toegang

Selvom Allan var en meget venlig guide, som delte interessant information om Hobart og området, så er selve turen simpelthen ikke pengene værd. 1. Uklar afgangstid – Nogle steder fremgår det, at turen starter kl. 9.30, andre steder først kl. 9.45 (hvilket var hvornår vi reelt kørte) 2. Cascade Gardens – Ret kedeligt; vi så kun bryggeriet udefra på parkeringspladsen, og selve haven var ikke særlig spændende. 3. Rosny Point Lookout – Udsigten var fin, men man kan få samme udsigt mange andre steder, og Mount Wellington er langt mere imponerende. 4. Botanisk Have – Kun 45 minutters ophold, hvilket slet ikke er nok til at se haven – især ikke, hvis man også vil have en kaffe eller et toiletbesøg. 5. Ventetid ved færgen – Der var 25 minutters ventetid før færgen til MONA, hvilket hverken er nok tid til at lave noget eller til at slappe ordentligt af. Alt i alt brugte vi meget tid i bussen og kørte forbi steder uden rigtigt at opleve dem. Turen kan være fin, hvis man ikke har mulighed for at gå så meget, men ellers vil jeg klart anbefale bare at købe en billet til MONA og udforske på egen hånd. Og lad være med at købe turen direkte på den officielle hjemmeside – det er billigere via f.eks. GetYourGuide.

I have updated this review as I could not reply to the answer left by Experience Tasmania. The original review below was written on the 5th of April after a VERY disappointing experience with booking agent/Greyline Bus Tours. The responce I got was basically, we sent you the correct details stating a 9:30am meeting time, and much like the Greyline driver, tried to make out it was our fault. Original Review: " Booked the tour through a company called getyourguide and have a printed ticket showing the tour to start 9:45am. Arrived 10 mins early to discover we were late and the TINY tonka style tour bus was waiting. Driver (Peter) seemed annoyed that we were not on time and made us to feel embarrassed for doing, in my eyes, nothing wrong. Even after I offered him the printed ticket clearly stating 9:45 not 9:30 he didn't care ignoring the printed ticket and showing a complete lack of remorse for his previous attitude. Now I am not a teenager but this tour was a trip of the dead, if you get my drift, and the driver was no exception telling us stories of his family and retirement plans. WTH?? I was hoping to learn about Hobart not hear retirement stories from someone who clearly should have already given in and left the job. To cut a long story short if you want to be treated like cr*p by the rude tour guide, listen to rubbish and personal stories and spend the whole tour of a matchbox sized tourbus (seats smaller than economy airline seats and an isle in the bus no more than 30cm wide, full of people and poorly ventilated) book this event. " The bottom line here is when we are on holidays we tend to forgive a little more easily, after all we are relaxing theres no work to wake up to and so we are likely to accept the things we really shouldn't like this. There are a number of ways to get to the Mona Art Gallery, there are a number of options for Hobart sightseeing tours and after taking this one I can promise you you'd be better off with one of the others. I have included an extract from the ONLY confirmation email I received for my booking in an attempt to keep "Experience Tasmania" honest in their reply.
