About this tour
Pair a guided ramble through Richmond, Tasmania's best-preserved Georgian township, with 48 hours of hop-on hop-off access aboard Hobart's open-top Red Decker buses. Spend three hours exploring Richmond's colonial architecture, antique shops, and food spots (with exclusive discounts), then ride the full loop or dip in and out at stops around Hobart's waterfront and hills. The 90-minute circuit works best if you start the city tour at 10am or 11am before heading to Richmond at 12:30pm.
Highlights
- Australia's oldest bridge and original colonial gaol in Richmond
- Georgian streetscapes and independent galleries, all walkable
- 360-degree Hobart views from the top deck
- Two days' flexibility to explore Hobart at your own pace
- Exclusive Richmond attraction discounts included
- Air-conditioned coach and WiFi on board
What to expect
Your guide takes you into Richmond first, pointing out the architectural gems and heritage spots, then releases you for three hours to browse, eat, and shop as you wish. Later, board the double-decker at a Hobart stop. The 90-minute circuit sweeps past the waterfront, parks, and viewpoints; stay on for the full loop or jump off whenever something catches your eye and rejoin a later bus. The open-top deck is the real draw—wind and views beat commentary. You'll need to coordinate timing if doing both in one day: hit the city loop early, grab lunch in Richmond, then return to Hobart stops by evening.
Good to know
Book the 10am or 11am Hobart tour if combining both attractions in one day. Your 48-hour city ticket runs from first use, so you can spread exploration across two days. Food and drinks aren't included—budget for Richmond's cafés and Hobart's waterfront spots. Wheelchair accessible throughout; public transport nearby if needed.
