Great Service
We were going to be late to pickup so rang to advise. Lady on the phone very helpful and let driver know. Driver rang to see where we were and said he would pick us up at another stop. Got there 3 minutes late but he waited. His commentary during the tour was excellent. Well done Greg.
Last minute winner!
The Richmond Village Tour was the highlight of our visit to Hobart. It was a last minute decision to pass time before our flight home but it turned out to be a winner! The bakery was fantastic and their pies to die for. The historic gaol was so interesting and a little spooky! Also spent time in Czegs cafe (the best red velvet cake). But the day was made complete by our guide Paul. His knowledge was first-class but his delivery and genuine interest in the guests on the bus was even better. Thanks Paul for an amazing day, this guy is a legend!
