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
Thank you for joining our Richmond Historic Afternoon Tour. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience and that Phil helped bring the region’s history to life. The model village is a wonderful glimpse into early Hobart, and we’re glad you found it worthwhile. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.
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.
Thank you for joining our Richmond Historic Afternoon Tour and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience, though we’re sorry for the inconvenience at the end of the day. Guests should be returned to their original pickup point (or a nearby safe location when traffic requires). Being dropped only at Brooke Street Pier is not our standard practice. We’re following this up with our team to understand why this occurred and to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
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.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. We're really glad you enjoyed your visit to Richmond and found it both interesting and peaceful. It’s great to hear that Mark made the tour fun and informative—he’ll be happy to know you had a great time. Thanks again for recommending us!
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.
We are sorry to hear that Richmond didn't live up to your expectations. Richmond is also home Australia's oldest convict built working road bridge and other historic landmarks. It does have a great range of specialty shops and cafes. We take on board your comments regarding seeing more of the countryside. The drive through the Coal River Valley on the way to Richmond is a very picturesque one. Thanks again for your feedback
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.
Thank you, Melissa, that is some fabulous feedback! We are so pleased that you and your Mum enjoyed our Afternoon Richmond tour with Dave. We appreciate you taking the time to provide such valuable feedback.
The tour guide was lovely, friendly and had some interesting anecdotes he shared with the small group on board. It was a relaxing trip
