Found this a good way to get an overview of the city and the location of tourist attractions. Used it on the 2nd & 3rd day of my stay to get where I wanted to go for free. Compliments to a driver named Darryl who, besides making the trip more interesting and enjoyable should be commended for the lovely way... More

I was expecting the Melbourne City tourist shuttle service to be perfect to get around the city and easy to get on and off at the various stops on the shuttle route. Staying at Travelodge, Southbank, the brochure indicated the shuttle service from stop 12 was for Skydeck88 ( the Eureka Tower), next to Travelodge Hotel, but the stop was... More

I found this free service to be a good way to see some of the top highlights of the City. If possible, you should do the full 90 minute loop to get an overview of the visited attractions and also so you know where to get on and off. My husband and I used this bus as well as the... More

Where are the stop signs for this service - no clear markers or directions and there is no continuity with the free tourist tram - how nice it would be if these services complimented each other i.e stop signs close to each other to encourage tourist tram users to transfer across to the bus shuttle and reduce the congestion on...

Full marks to the Melbourne City Council for providing this useful free service for tourists. The buses are clean, comfortable and punctual and they run from various points along a route - at approx 30 min intervals. My only complaint is that the pick-up/drop-off points are a little hard to find and you need to look out carefully for the... More

The Melbourne Tourist Shuttle is a great, FREE attraction for visitors and citizens of Melbourne to explore their city. It connects all zones of the city and makes accessing the major tourist attractions a very pleasant experience. The commmentary is informative, especially when the drivers add a few meaningful comments. Future improvements could be more frequent services, automatic signs advising... More

This free city tour, provided by the Melbourne city government, uses modern buses so you ride in air-conditioned comfort. Also, the seats are higher, especially in the back, so you get a better view of the sights. In most other aspects, the Tourist Shuttle is similar to the Circle City Tram, which is a Metlink service. Since the service is... More
