The City Circle tram itself runs every 30 mins or so. In fact you can catch any tram within the City Circle boundaries for free. Plenty of signage on routes etc at all tram stops. Easy travelling.

Great idea that falls a bit short. Basically, this free tram service encircles the Central Business District and the Docklands area. So, how can anyone complain about a freebie? I guess you could call it a case of broken promises. The signs clearly state that the #35 (City Circle) trams run approximately every 15 minutes, yet twice we waited for over half an hour before giving up.I will note that the 2 times that we did manage to catch it were very enjoyable. These are very old, restored cars that give a nice sense of early 20th century.

Great idea but only seems to go anticlockwise on the sunday we rode. A bit annoying that website info isn't updated for the tourist, found 3 different timetables on my search..Very crowded but certainly provides some useful commentary if you can hear it above the chatter.

What a fun and FREE way to travel the city, and go all around to see the sights. Then you can easily learn which lines will get you to the fun downtown areas for shoppig. Such a great convenience for residents and tourists alike.

Great for getting around Melbourne. Don’t forget to buy a Myki card to use on trams. If you’re travelling in the free zone you don’t need them. Each trip for up to 2 hours or in a 2 hour period is $4.60 ish. Great value and very frequent. Lots of trams through the city and area.

Staying out at Richmond it was easy to get into the city centre and link up with the comprehensive tram network including the free central system. Requires the purchase of a myki card (for Apple) or Mobile myki if you are on Android. Not as flexible as the tap&go system we used in Sydney, which no doubt will be upgraded soon!!

Great idea, but runs infrequently and sometimes not at all - and the schedule on the displays is simply a fabrication that has nothing to do with the actual arrival. The seats are very uncomfortable. But decent if you just touched down in Melbourne and want a quick intro. They should beef this up a bit with better cushioning, more reliability, and perhaps a tour book with coupons would help pay for the thing.

We used the City Circle Tram on our recent visit to Melbourne. Great tram system to use visiting Melbourne's city sites. Only negative is that each tram stop isn't announced earlier than it should.

When we booked this trip we expected a nice ride round and an ok meal. The ride was fun - a short loop done a few times, but the food and service exceeded our expectations. Do be warned - the seating is a bit of a tight squeeze and would be a challenge for some.

So convenient, the only way to travel round Melbourne. You have to buy a Myki card and top up, though it would have been nice to be able to use your credit card like London Oyster but it was alright, Seven Eleven sell them. The free zone means any tram you're on in that zone is free to use and we used Tram 35 to do the full loop as it's an historic old machine with commentary, that is difficult to hear sadly, but gives you a good lay of the land. Great experience and Melbourne citizens are very lucky to have it!
