This is a great service and its free, so during peak hours it is like a Tokyo subway - better to pay for a taxi especially if you are a group of 4 or more. When it isn't so busy though it is a great way to see the city, they go in both directions so you can hop on...

In some global cities, you'd hop immediately on a double decker tour bus to get your bearings. In Melbourne, just find a stop for the City Circle Tram. Unlike the rest of the tram network, it is free. An interesting commentary tells you what attractions are an easy walk from each stop. Just be careful if you are using it...

They are fun and interesting plus a great way to get around if you're not in too much of a hurry. We love the interesting people that one see's when travelling on trams, from tourists just like us and locals shopping and the working people . Great fun and the price is excellent ha ha ha.

It's a great way to get a sense of Melbourne. And it's free so you can cruise around as much as you like.

These trams are really a piece of history and offer a great service everyday for travellers. A free tram that comes around every five minutes. It's perfect for a cold wet day or even if you've just got sore feet.

This free tram service encircles the CBD in one of the beautifully old trams. Free transport is not something regularly sceen in cities and is a lovely addition.

I thought this looked quaint, but it was a bit dull really. I stayed on it for the complete loop, which was a bit of a waste of time! You don't get many fun facts along the way and it was super packed too. The trams look nice from the outside though!
