An amazing day out - thank you!! - What an amazing day out for our family on the Coal Valley Explorer Bus. Brendan was a terrific guide and so knowledgeable about the history of Hobart and the surrounding areas. We stopped in Richmond where we had 15mins for a quick trip to the bakery - we can highly recommend the mince pie and curried scallop pie - delicious!! We then travelled to the Zoo and aquarium for the afternoon where we did an encounter with a squirrel monkey - so much fun! The zoo was great. Then we headed back to Hobart via Richmond. A beautiful day out for our family and Brendan is such a credit to you! Thanks!! Highly recommend this rour to others.

Wonderful tour with Brendan! - We had the best tour with Brendan, who was the most lovely guide - super knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble. We went to the zoo and really enjoyed the commentary as we headed out to Richmond and back again. Small group, super comfortable, could not recommend more!

Great value Richmond day trip - My mum and I had a great day, we thought the trip was perfect for our long weekend in Hobart and great value for the price. We learnt so much in a thoroughly enjoyable way about Richmond. The driver was so knowledgeable. We recommended doing the wine stop as well, it was a great add on.

Brendan. - Brendan it is all too rare I cross paths with people such as you. As my tour guide you ticked all the boxes. What a phenomenal knowledge you hold in your head. Your words bought my trip to Richmond ‘alive’. Not only did I find your knowledge inspirational but also your ability to share it. It is obvious that you are a highly gifted guide that is a brilliant educator with a great deal of empathy towards other. Thank you!

Richmond village afternoon - Very pleasant afternoon in Richmond. Oldest bridge. Oldest Catholic and Anglican schools. Lots of history here and a small town really doing its best to preserve and celebrate it.
