A great day, visiting several really interesting, places. Also passing, beautiful picturesque landscapes along the way. Our easy Lunch of fish and chips was lovely, allowing us time to walk about and enjoy Victor Harbour’s shops and views.
Our Driver Geoff, was really friendly and interesting, explaining places etc along the way. We were lucky to have terrific fellow travellers as well, rounding off the Best Day.

Great experience. Saw a lot of attractions in one day but plenty of time to enjoy each attraction. Fantastic driver with a wealth of local knowledge.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Kathryn! We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour and had plenty of time to experience each stop. We appreciate your kind words about our driver and hope to welcome you back again soon.
the trip was nice and enjoyable. The guide Addie was extremely helpful. Would recommend to others. Saw beautiful views and small villages, towns in South Australia
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you! We’re glad you had an enjoyable trip and appreciated Addie’s great guiding.
Raheem was great !!
He made us very comfortable and couldn't do enough to assist.
He had a great knowledge of Adelaide and the towns we travelled thru. Was able to answer all our questions. We have been in Adelaide for 8 days and have done various tours (5) - this was by far the best- even though Mt Lofty had a blackout, the horse train at Victor Harbour was closed and it rained most of the day - it all adds to the experience... Lol. Thanks Raheem.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you, Robyn! We’re glad you had such a great day with Raheem, even with the unpredictable weather. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him.
The vehicle was a Toyota van which had all seats occupied. The rear seats are cramped and most uncomfortable. The vehicle does not ride like a bus, it rides like a truck and being seated at the rear is most uncomfortable over the B roads travelled on this tour causing motion sickness. The vehicle does not have a PA and the commentary was minimal and inaudible.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Cai. We’re sorry to hear you found the seating uncomfortable and had difficulty hearing the commentary. Your comments are appreciated and will help us improve the comfort and communication on future tours.

Thank you, Judith! We're glad you had such a wonderful day exploring with Geoff and enjoyed the sights, lunch, and great company along the way.
We had an amazing experience today during our full day tour! Our tour guide Geoff was incredible and the bus was also very comfortable! Would love to come again another time.

Thank you, Jane! We’re so glad you had an amazing day with Geoff and enjoyed the comfort of the bus. We’d love to welcome you again!
Such a great experience. I had a wonderful day. The driver “Roy” was brilliant. Really enjoyed. Tanks heaps and i will highly recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks so much! Wonderful to hear you had a great day with Roy and enjoyed the experience. We appreciate your recommendation.
Our pick up was late....It was marketed with picture of the Victor Harbour horse drawn bus...yet when we got there it was closed, so we couldn't use it, seems 3pm is closing time there, Totally spoilt the rest of the trip.. Mount Lofty and Hahndorf were interesting stop offs. Seeing the Seals at Goolwa was wonderful...The d'Arenberg vineyard was very interesting , this would have been a better place for a food /drink stop...Going to a chocolate shop in high summer so if you brought anything there it would melt...only half of the journey was really worth it...
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Barry, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that parts of the tour didn’t meet your expectations, especially regarding the timing and the horse-drawn tram closure at Victor Harbor. We understand how disappointing that must have been and appreciate your suggestions about the food stop and timing. We're glad you enjoyed Mount Lofty, Hahndorf, the seals at Goolwa, and d’Arenberg, and we’ll certainly take your comments on board to improve future tours.
Arrived at Victor Harbour found meal not up to standard I thought fish and chips ordered where cold and chips not very crisp.
After meal went to arrange to go on the horse train to be informed we where to late last train left at 2.30pm driver said he had checked and last one should have been 3.30pm that might be in the summer everyone on board where very upset.
Driver suggested we go to the cube which was quite a distance away we arrived just in time to do a quick wine tasting but no time to see the whole experience which cost us $20.
The day was ok but not worth the money I feel.
Needs to be a lot more organized I feel would not recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Leonie, thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear parts of the day didn’t meet expectations. We’ll take your comments onboard to improve the experience and communication moving forward.
A great tour to experience Adelaide’s wines and Hahndorf. Different wineries around the Barossa Valley give a variety of different wines and tastes.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for joining us! Glad you enjoyed the variety and charm of Adelaide’s wine country and Hahndorf.
Very bad expirience with this tour. The driver (Jai Dev) is very unprofessional, and cannot manage the time in the each attraction correctly. The driver is oriented for profit and profit, and doesnt care about the expirience. Spending to much time at "The Haus" because he want to give more time to people that pay at your partner and dont care with people that dont go to the restaurant, by spending more that 1 hour at small germany town that actually can be done in less than 1 hour. Not only that, the driver skip the Goolwa beach and only give 75 minutes at the victor harbour, which should be the main attraction, and make people rushing when visiting the granite island. To make it worse, its also done to give time to visit the CHOCOLATE SHOP (make profit again for the driver), and to make the visit to the The d'Arenberg, which is the optional visit that need the agreement FROM ALL GUESTS, and your driver DONT ASK ME AT ALL about visiting the place. Very lucky that we dont have lot of time so dont need to pay to enter that place, which is optional.
Also want to mention that the driver, because a guy, is more care about those chinese girls (probs bcs their stay at HILTON) and to guests that spend money at their partner. I hope that people that plan to take this tour be aware, and maybe plan to choose other provider that have better product and reviews, and AVOID TOUR THAT BRING THEIR GUESTS TO STORE OR CAFE/RESTAURANT FOR COFFEE AT ALL COST, despite their saying its optional and if time permitted, because they will make it time permitted, and reduce your time at the main attraction, which is not worth the money that guest pay for taking the tour. If you spend money for the tour then you expecting to visit the place of interest, not wasting your time at store and waiting people to having coffee at this tour partners right? SO AVOID AVOID AVOID. Well the main benefit is that the lunch is included, which I tought will make it more seamless, but at the end still wait about 10 minutes for the food to arrived, which is can be better by the driver calling restaurant when he park the car.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. We take your concerns very seriously and want you to know that we have addressed this matter internally. The driver in question has been removed from our team to ensure this does not happen again.
We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will continue working hard to provide a better experience for all our guests.
The guide, Deep, was very knowledgeable and funny. I recommend this tour for those who want an overview of what to see/visit in SA. But if you want to have a full experience of each place, book a separate tour specifically for those places.
Overall, this tour is good for first timer in SA. I particularly enjoyed our visit to Hahndorf Village and Victor Harbor. Too bad the horse-drawn tram activity was closed that day.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks for the thoughtful review! Great to hear you enjoyed the overview and Deep’s guiding—perfect for first-timers in SA. Shame about the tram, but glad you loved Hahndorf and Victor Harbor!
It was great. Tour guide friendly and flexible. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour especially the horse drawn tram
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Glad to hear you had a great time Leanne! Thanks for your kind words—we're happy you enjoyed the tour and the horse-drawn tram experience!
As we had never been to Adelaide and the surrounding areas before, this trip was excellent as it gave us a good overview of the area and what areas we would like to go back to again. well planned trip and great tour host.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found it to be a great introduction to Adelaide and its surroundings. Hope to see you again for more exploring!

Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thanks, George! We're so glad you had a great time with Pete—he truly knows his stuff! Appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again!
The host "Deep" is very friendly and jovial person. He cracked lot of jokes during talking about Adelaide city, Handorf and Victor Harbour. He has excellent knowledge about all places as described in this tour and really enjoyed this tour and will recommend to all for sure.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Deep and appreciated his knowledge and humor. Your recommendation means a lot!
Victor Harbor was beautiful, loved the tram pulled by draught horse and delicious lunch. Hahndorf was charming and the leather shop was great because they fitted me with a custom fitted unique belt. Morning tea of strudel with cream and coffee not to be missed.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for your great review John! We're so glad you enjoyed Victor Harbor, the tram, and the charming Hahndorf experience. The strudel and coffee are definitely a highlight! We hope to welcome you again soon!
A Quiet day with a young driver who was very informative but we would have preferred

Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your great review! We're happy you had a wonderful day and enjoyed Victor Harbor, the wine tasting at The Cube, and Hahndorf. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him!
This was an ok tour. The driver was very pleasant though we struggled quite a lot to understand what he was saying, plus too much about cars & fuel prices when history would have been better. We stopped at one place near a bridge and water but had no idea why we were there, got off and back on again. Food was nice ant lunch and overall an ok tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your feedback Tracy. We're glad you found the driver pleasant and enjoyed the lunch. We apologize for the communication issues and the focus on topics that didn't meet your expectations. Your comments about the stop near the bridge and the overall experience are noted, and we'll use this feedback to improve our tours. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more engaging experience in the future.
Our driver Maddy was truly fabulous and very accommodating! 🤩 The McLaren Vale winery was so amazing, Victor Harbour was beautiful and Hahndorf was very quaint and interesting. Would recommend to anyone as we enjoyed ourselves a lot and made friends as well!!
Response from Host, Jul 2024

We spent the day with Manne and it was just a wonderful day.Learned heaps and spent the day with some very nice people.
Response from Host, May 2024
We're so happy to hear you had a wonderful day with Manne! It's fantastic that you learned a lot and enjoyed the company of others on the tour. Manne strives to create a fun and informative experience, and your review lets us know they succeeded. Thank you so much!
Most memorable for me as a person with speech difficulties was that the driver had difficulty understanding me. There was a little confusion at times.
Also did not enjoy visit to the Cube. Very claustrophobic and not a fan of Dali's art. Would have preferred to leave this out. Not too bad otherwise.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for the review Clare! Glad you enjoyed most of it. Sorry about driver communication issues, we'll address it. We appreciate feedback on The Cube - considering alternative options for future tours. Thanks for helping us improve!
I hate 2 give this 2 stars as manny is such a nice person n great guide. But hansdorf is nothing more than a day out at a tourist trap. Nothing like Germany. The small town at the beach was ok but again nothing to write home about. We had a great weather. Mt loftty was nice a great views. The winery was interesting but again over priced wines. The scenery between the stops was nice as well. Unfortunately though I would chose another tour but w the same guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for the review! Manny rocks, right?Hahndorf isn't for everyone, but we have tours that explore hidden gems or dive deeper into wine regions. Let us know if you're interested next time! Glad you enjoyed the scenery and Manny!
Walking across to the island from Victor Harbor. The seals playing in the water alongside the pier were truly awesome.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sounds like a fantastic trip to Victor Harbor! Seeing the seals playing by the pier must have been an amazing experience. We hope to see you in your next tour!
