Great afternoon in Richmond

Nice afternoon trip to Richmond. Brendan was a wealth of knowledge on the way there and back and I enjoyed listening to him. Gaol was great and nice shops.

Fabulous way to see Richmond

Brendan was our guide. What a nice friendly chap. The commentary to and from Hobart taught me things I didn’t know about Hobart/Richmond. So interesting with the odd joke thrown in. Brendan went out of his way to make sure we all knew where to go and what to do. You go at your own pace and meet back at the pick up point - easy. If you get into trouble - Brendan leaves his number printed on the Richmond map provided. A very enjoyable afternoon. Thank you Brendan.
