Richmond excursion

Easy and beautiful ride up and back to Hobart. Good for a break from long day tours. Place to have a nice lunch then do a little shopping. I especially liked the woodworking shop. A beautiful weather day makes it perfect. An ice cream before the ride home and you have a great afternoon

10/10 best way to spend an afternoon in Tassie

We just had a wonderful afternoon in Richmond, greatly thanks to our incredible tour guide Brendan! He was passionate, personable and very informative about the historical aspects of Tasmania, as well as the attractions and activities it has to offer. Highly recommend, and great value (significant discounts were offered at a number of spots for those doing the tour).
