The city circle tram is a fantastic way to take a trip right around the city in a really fun way. My kids loved it and were not bored at all even though we did the full trip. The only downside is that around Flinders street it was extremely packed (I would say too full when people are pushing forward...

Hats off to Melbourne with the free trams. Going each way around the city hub is a fantastic way to get around. Good running commentary and frequency of each 12 mins is great

Not only do the tourists rid this tram the locals tend to take up all the space as its free. But we squeezed on anyway. It was a bit fraught trying to get on and off but we did it with no mishaps.

I'm a Melbourne resident and only use the city circle when it's the next tram to arrive at my stop.
The fleet is old and clunky, the announcements are too loud - but it's free, and a useful way to see the sights.
If you can splurge an extra few dollars - get on the 96 at Batman Park, or...

This tram is a fantastic service. Wherever you are in Central Melbourne, you are never more than a three block walk, from the free tram, which operates in both directions around the loop. The route plan is easy to understand. The only downside was that the tram was very popular and a little crowded when I was using it, as...

The clearly branded free service is a very worthwhile mode of transport through / around the city. With recorded commentary of special sites (and sights), I spent the afternoon hopping on and off and was able to find my way around very easily. These older trams remind us of a bygone era. Just a really great service - thank you...
