I have been on many tours before and Liz was one of the best tour guides I have ever met - VERY knowledgeable and SUPER friendly. I have learned so much about Australia (especially about its unique animals and its culture - e.g., I have never heard of netball, how the education system is set up, how the koalas mate, etc.) and I was having so much fun that the 8-hour tour went by too quickly! Adelaide Hills area has so much to offer and this tour covers it all (or at least so I felt). Highly recommended!

A comfortable and comprehensive day trip to Adelaide Hills led by a knowledgeable local - Liz Green! Truly entertaining for most ages - our group included teenagers and seniors :)

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for the lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the Adelaide Hills day trip and that the experience worked well for everyone in your group. It’s always great when a tour can be enjoyed across different ages, from teenagers right through to seniors. It was a pleasure showing you around the Hills and sharing some of the local stories and highlights along the way. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review and I hope to see you back on another Discover Adelaide tour one day.

Thank you so much for this incredible review — it truly made my day! I’m absolutely delighted to hear that you found the Adelaide Hills Tour so engaging, informative and fun. Sharing stories about Australia’s wildlife, culture and everyday life — from our unique animals to things like netball and the education system — is one of the things I love most about guiding, so it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed learning along the way. The Adelaide Hills really does have so much to offer, and I’m thrilled that the day felt so full and enjoyable that the eight hours flew by. Thank you for your very kind words and for the strong recommendation — it means a great deal. I hope to welcome you back to South Australia again one day for another adventure.

Discover adelaide with a great friendly knowledgeable guide

Graham_G, Jan 2026
So today was tour day with our guide Liz. If you are ever in Adelaide i can highly recommend this lady's company. What a fantastic day and great guide with top knowledge. Mount Lofty but was cloudy early doors, but Liz returned us later in the tour to make sure we didn't miss anything, Cleland wildlife park, Hahndorf, Melba's chocolate and confectionary factory and Cobb Hill Estate wine tasting. No need to walk to another pick up.point, picked up at our airbnb. A Fantastic day from start to finish. Thank you Liz

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and for choosing Discover Adelaide Tours! It was an absolute pleasure showing you around Adelaide, and I’m so glad the weather gave us a second chance at Mount Lofty Summit — sometimes it really is worth going back! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the mix of highlights including Cleland Wildlife Park, Hahndorf, Melba’s Chocolate Factory, and the wine tasting at Cobb Hill Estate. We love creating relaxed, small-group Adelaide sightseeing tours that don’t feel rushed and include those little extras — like returning to a stop when conditions change. Thank you as well for mentioning the door-to-door pickup from your Airbnb — we know how much that adds to an easy, stress-free day. It truly means a lot to hear you had a fantastic day from start to finish. Wishing you safe travels, and we’d love to welcome you back to South Australia again one day! Warm regards, Liz

I had a great day with Liz. I was the only customer, and the tour went ahead anyway—awesome. On the way, she shared lots of interesting information about the area and what I would be seeing. Feeding the kangaroos was fun. Bought some chocolate and even get a change to taste some wine. Great experience with an amazing guide!

Ich hatte einen super schönen Tag. Liz war eine tolle Reiseleitung und ich hatte das große Glück allein auf dieser Tour zu sein. Es war so entspannend und Liz ist gut auf meine Bedürfnisse eingegangen. Was etwas schade war, das man den Koalas zwar Nahe kommt (extra buchen) aber nicht wie es eigentlich beschrieben ist, auch in den flyern. Vor Ort wird einem erzählt, weil umgebaut wird, finden diese Aktivitäten zur Zeit nicht statt. Das sollte man in der Tourbeschreibung vielleicht anpassen. Wer Kängeruhs mag kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Ich hatte viel Spaß.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Birgit, Vielen Dank für Ihr schönes Feedback – wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie den Tag mit Liz genossen haben! Ihre Anmerkung zum Koala-Erlebnis nehmen wir ernst und werden unsere Beschreibungen entsprechend anpassen.
