About this tour
A guided coach journey from Hobart to Richmond, a well-preserved colonial village on the Coal River, lasting four hours and fifteen minutes. You'll have substantial time to wander the sandstone streets, cross the convict-era bridge, and explore heritage buildings, local shops and galleries at your own pace. The tour includes return transport and a discount voucher for selected attractions.
Highlights
- Richmond Bridge, built by convict labour in the 1820s
- Colonial cottages and streetscape largely unchanged since the 1800s
- Coal River views and riverside walks

- Discount access to Richmond Gaol or Old Hobart Town Model Village

What to expect
After hotel pickup, you'll travel by air-conditioned coach to Richmond, arriving with several hours to explore independently. The village is compact and walkable; most visitors start with the iconic stone bridge, then drift through the main street discovering heritage cottages converted into cafes, gift shops and art galleries. You can opt to pay separately for gaol tours or the model village, or simply wander and absorb the 19th-century atmosphere. The bakery serves hot scallop pies; wine tasting rooms dot the village if you're interested. There's no set itinerary once you arrive—it's genuinely self-paced exploration. Return transport to your hotel is included.
Good to know
Food and drinks aren't included, so budget for cafe meals or pies. The village is fully accessible for wheelchairs and pushers. Bring comfortable shoes; Richmond rewards slow walking. Selected hotels only for pickup; check your accommodation's eligibility. Service animals welcome.
