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.

You can call me Al - The bus driver Al was friendly and entertaining. Richmond is lovely. Besides stopping off at Richmond we also stop that a cheese place and enjoyed a cheese platter. The scallop pies at the Richmond bakery are great and recommend them.
