Overall an excellent few hours in Richmond. - Weather was fantastic after a long period of wintry weather. The driver shared lots of helpful information about the past, current locations, places of interest and where to find scallop pies and yummy ice cream! Though it wasn’t what I wanted to do, there were side trips available which sounded interesting. I enjoyed visiting what was of interest to me rather than being locked into a set agenda.

Enjoyable and Very Informative Tour - We had a great time joining this tour from pick up to return to the city. Our tour guide/bus driver Jason was very knowledgeable sharing historical facts throughout the tour, not to mention that he was friendly and helpful giving us tips on what to do around the village to make it an enjoyable trip. We enjoyed the side trip to Puddleduck for some cheese and wine tasting. We definitely would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a piece of Australian history.

Enjoyable experience. - Good shuttle service meandering through the Coal River Valley to the old town of Richmond which takes in a couple of hours meandering the main street with plenty of interesting stores a food outlets to keep you occupied for the duration of your visit. You can have a side vist to the wicked cheese shop as well for tastings. Most enjoyable afternoon visit.
