This is not a Hobart tour.The description of the tour is completely inaccurate. This is merely a ride to Richmond, where you are dropped off and left to yourself for a couple of hours. No Hobart, no historic information, nothing. If you are looking for an expensive ride to Richmond, then this is your tour. I do not recommend.

We had a great guide - Allise who was very informative. While I loved what I had the opportunity to see 1 hour in Richmond is to enough time to appreciate everything there is to see. Richmond deserves much more time than that.

This tour was excellent. Our driver/guide was very knowledgable of the Richmond area and it's history. We had ample time to explore including walking over the bridge and up to the church. We would highly recommend.

Our tour guide was fantastic and what a brilliant ambassador for our country! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, his commentary and we felt the amount of time in the gorgeous Richmond was just right.

Loved Richmond, a quint historic town. The bus driver was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own.

This tour was run very well and the guide was excellent. Richmond is a pretty town, though we found that there wasn't really enough to do to fill in 2 hours.

Great afternoon. Driver interesting and informative. Coach very comfortable. Visit to Richmond culd have been longer, and OMG were the Curried Schollop Pies from the bakery to die for.

The driver was very knowledgable and I enjoyed the historical buildings in Hobart. Richmond was very interesting as well and 2 hours was just not enough time to see everything I wanted, as well as explore all the lovely little shops.

The tour takes you to Richmond and you have about 2 hours there which is not really long enough, as there is so much to see. I recommend going to the Grayline office on the Brook street Pier in Hobart and catching the express coach to Richmond.

Richmond is a great old village, and it was pure enjoyment to wander around it. There was ample time to experience all that it had to offer.
