Richmond Historic Nachmittagstour ab Hobart

We enjoyed our tour. Phil the driver was knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend going to see the model village of Hobart in the early days

There is quite a bit of walking. If possible try to stay on the flat. They pick you up near your hotel. Be prepared, because they don't drop you back to the point of pick up. Instead everyone is dropped off at the Brook St Pier and left to find their own way back. It is dark. For some it is a long way back, making it more incumbent after walking around all afternoon.

Richmond is a lovely town, steeped in history. We learned so much about our convict past and enjoyed our afternoon exploring this beautiful place. Despite the sadness that is felt for the past, there is a peacefulness about how it is honoured and remembered. Would thoroughly recommend this tour. Our driver Mark, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Thanks Mark for a great experience.

A perfect ending for our Hobart trip, with a visit to the Richmond Town and the goal , plus the historic bridge.

Richmond is one long street with shops that are wide spread in the street. Some shops are a little different with the German outlook. There was nothing to see only shops. Very disappointed in this trip, I honestly we thought that we would see a bit more of the country side.

I took my mobility challenged Mother on this adventure on 14th November 2024 during our recent Tasmania trip. Our Driver Dave (I think), was incredibly helpful, very knowledgeable about the Hobart area and surrounds and was great company on the day. The assigned bus on the day had room to store the fold up attendant wheelchair (as well as another passenger's walker) and the driver had a readily available step to help Mum step up into the Mini Bus. I had checked this with them before we booked. I definitely recommend Viator and this tour to Richmond for able bodied adventurers. We were on a Cruise and had to option to visit Richmond from Port Arthur the day prior. The price of this tour with Viator was a quarter of the Cruise Ship excursion price. If you have a family member with mobility challenges using a walker, or in a wheelchair, there are challenges with the terrain in Richmond village and entry into some of the colonial era buildings for shopping and browsing. This is a destination issue and not a Viator issue to solve. Everyone we encountered was incredibly helpful and accommodating wherever possible. I often didn't even need to ask for assistance as business owners and locals stepped forward to assist. A special shout out to Larder and Vin where we stopped and they made me a divine Charcuterie + Cheese platter for one paired with a phenomenal Hughes & Hughes Pinot Gris. Utter bliss! For anyone with mobility challenges, be aware that the natural terrain and footpaths did made it hard work for me pushing a wheelchair around. An FYI - We weren't able to find an accessible path down to view the Richmond Bridge from water level. Maybe it's there and we just didn't find it. Our Driver did take us on a driven tour around Richmond and we were still able to see the view of the magnificent bridge from the Mini Bus.

The tour guide was lovely, friendly and had some interesting anecdotes he shared with the small group on board. It was a relaxing trip

Allan our tour guide was great had a great knowledge of Hobart and all its history, also told jokes, Richmond was a lovely town to visit with its Gaol and miniature historical Hobart village, also a lovely cafe and lollie shop, had a wonderful afternoon.

Great to start and finish our Hobart Holiday with Phil from Grayline. Very courteous, friendly and efficient. A great time and experience with Phil. Great driver, good commentary and good sense of humour. Thank you Phil. Sue and Roy, Mackay Qld.
