Do this tour early in your visit to Adelaide. Great city orientation with Craig pointing out interesting things to see & do as well as activities not to miss. We had a bonus sighting of a koala at Mount Lofty summit. The two wine tastings were at beautiful wineries and it was fun to learn about the different wines!

    Great experience

    Jillian_W, Apr 2026
    This tour provided an excellent overview of the important sites in Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills, Hahndorf and the wineries in the McLaren Valley. The driver was knowledgeable and informative. The wine tastings were a great way to see what is available in the McLaren Valley. We were travelling with a guide dog and every consideration was made to accommodate us.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thanks for taking the time to leave this lovely review. I know Craig enjoyed have the Guide Dog on the tour as it was the first time he was taller than one of his passengers.

    annaluo008, Apr 2026
    One of the best group tours I’ve been on. Special shoutout to the tour guide Bruce who is not only knowledgeable but also funny and wholesome. The selection of wineries is top notch and the tour felt well paced. I would highly recommend it!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thanks for this lovely review. I love reading things like "well paced" We do make a huge effort to design these tours to actually be very enjoyable. Some companies believe in squeezing so much in your day it all becomes a blur. Bruce will be very chuffed you enjoyed his tour so much.

    Plentiful in stops

    John_T, Apr 2026
    Great tour as it has lots of stops and activities in the 1 tour. Short distances means you have time to make additional stops and see things not on the agenda.

    Great day trip

    Joyce_W, Mar 2026
    Bruce was such a great guide. He took us to all the interesting places in the city which also included the history behind them, then onto Mt Lofty, Hahndorf where we spent 2 hours & then on through the McLaren Vale area wineries including some wine tasting & then back via Glenelg. A wealth of knowledge Bruce also took the time to make us all feel comfortable on the tour. A very enjoyable day worth doing.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Joyce, we are so happy you enjoyed this tour with Bruce. This tour is the perfect introduction to Adelaide and her surrounds.

    Wine, history and a good look around!

    Deborah_J, Mar 2026
    Fantastic tour! Russell was a fabulous tour guide- very knowledgeable about the region and it's history. He was a very safe driver as he guided the bus around some steep and windy roads. He kept us on time but still ensured we had plenty of time at each stop. We really enjoyed Hahndorf and the two wineries in the McLaren Vale area. Unfortunately, the clouds stopped us enjoying the lovely view of Adelaide from Mt Lofty but can imagine how fabulous this would be on a clear day. Driving around Adelaide CBD and learning about parts of the city was great. About half of our group left the tour in Glenelg so that was a great option for many. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to others.

    Remarkable guidance in Adelaide and wineries.

    Erzsebet_K, Mar 2026
    Great itinerary, female driver was excellent. She had a very extensive knowledge. Great locations to visit.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi there, sounds like Sara was your guide. She's awesome! It makes such a difference taking a tour with a guide who genuinely loves where they live. Thanks for taking the time to write this wonderful review.

    Adelaide Highlights 16.03.26

    Roy_H, Mar 2026
    Great tour with Bruce in spite of the wet weather. Interesting, knowledgable and witty commentary throughout the day, starting with the tour around Adelaide. Plenty of time to explore Hahndorf and the two wine tasting visits were lots of fun.

    Great way to see some of best parts of Adelaide and surrounds.

    David_P, Feb 2026
    Well organised, on time, comfortable clean vehicle driven smoothly. Our driver provided an entertaining and interesting commentary continuously for the whole day. Stops were well planned, none felt rushed and allowed enough time especially in Hahndorf where there are so many good places to choose from. The wine tastings were well presented, with the right amount of wine, and good explanation about the history of each winery and making of each wine. And a great group of fellow travellers always makes a trip more fun.

    Wonderful day in Adelaide

    Irina_P, Feb 2026
    Initially, we thought this tour would simply take us to a few wineries to taste wine and get to know the group. It turned out to be so much better than we expected. There were only seven of us, which made the experience personal and relaxed. Our driver showed us the highlights around Adelaide, and we learned so much interesting information along the way. We visited Mount Lofty for beautiful views over the city, spotted a koala resting in a tree, and spent a couple of hours exploring the charming shops in the German village. We drove through the countryside, passed countless vineyards, and stopped at two wineries for tastings. We also explored coastal areas by the bay, which were absolutely fantastic. We truly enjoyed this tour and felt we received far more than we expected.

    Great tour to see the area around Adelaide

    Suzanne_v, Feb 2026
    I enjoyed this tour very much. You get to see the highlights of Adelaide and surrounding area including some wine tasting. Our guide Bruce had nice stories and did a very good job. I can highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hi Suzanne, thanks for the wonderful review. This is the perfect tour to get a great overview of Adelaide and her surroundings. Bruce loves showing off his home and he does it so well.

    A fabulous way to learn and see Adelaide

    Sandra_W, Feb 2026
    Great tour. Our driver / guide Bruce was exceptionally knowledgeable and funny with it which made the day. Loved seeing the koalas and kangaroos, was impressed with Hahndorf, spent a pretty penny 😂 and loved the two wine tasting stops. Obviously the group that you are with helps and ours were a great laugh. Would highly recommend

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hi Sandra, thanks for this wonderful review. It sums up the day perfectly. Bruce is a great guide and has a real knack for finding Koala's in the wild!

    Well worth it

    Nic_R, Jan 2026
    A really fun tour with delicious wine. A very good way to see the best of Adelaide in a day. The tour guide Aaron was great.

    An excellent day with a variety of activities and a chance to see and learn about Adelaide and the surrounding areas

    carole_w, Jan 2026
    This was an excellent introduction to Adelaide. Our guide explained the history of the city and pointed out all the key points of interest on our tour. The wine tasting stops were excellent and time to explore Hahndorf rounded off a lovely day.

    A great day in Adelaide

    Peter is an excellent guide. He made the experience very enjoyable. We would recommend this tour highly.

    A relaxing adventure

    Sylvia_L, Jan 2026
    I absolutely loved the experience. The tour was perfect from start to finish — we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the same place, which made everything so easy. My partner and I really enjoyed visiting and exploring each location. Bruce was a fantastic guide: incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to answer our many questions. Thank you, Bruce!

    Great day trip

    Jim_K, Jan 2026
    What a wonderful day trip. Bruce, our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the city of Adelaide. He also was keen on finding Koala’s and Kangaroos in the wild as we went to the wineries. Chapel Hill was in my opinion the highlight of the trip with Peter as our wine guide entertaining and informative. Would highly recommend!

    Lauren_H, Jan 2026
    Great tour, Bruce is an amazing guide. We loved it and thought it was great value for what we paid. Got to see wild koala and kangaroos, as well as learn about the local area - the wine is a welcome bonus for all of that!!!

    Insightful tour. Very informative to Adelaide and the surrounding area ,

    Tam_L, Jan 2026
    Brilliant tour of Adelaide city, Hanhdorf and the winery. Our guide Bruce was very informative, knowledgeable and funny. Gave us enough time to see each sight and point out attractions when we passed one. Value for money.

    It's more relaxing and more informative to take this tour than to hire a car and do it on your own. A good overview of Adelaide.

    Bob_K, Dec 2025
    A really good wide ranging tour of Adelaide then out into the country stopping at Hahnsdorf for a couple of hours then on to two vineyards for wine tasting, followed by a scenic return to Adelaide. Longer day than advertised.

    Great day out!

    Michael_A, Nov 2025
    A fun and varied tour that offered the best of Adelaide city and then we explored the gorgeous German town of Hahndorf. You must try some of the local fare but save room for a cheese platter at the wine tasting in McLaren Vale. We learnt so much along the way.

    Great day out

    JohnandCarron_L, Nov 2025
    Fantastic day, lots to see, Craig was an exceptional host. Loved the Adelaide Oval and city look around.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    They say good things come in small packages, Craig must be exceptional!! Adelaide is a beautiful city and no one shows it off better than Craig. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review.

    Magical McLaren Vale

    CHRISTINE_W, Nov 2025
    A fabulous day out seeing Adelaide and McLaren Vale district. Ran like clockwork and was great value!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks for the review. We make a real effort to put the very best itineraries together so our visitors to South Australia get the best value for money and for the time they invest with us. I'm happy we ticked both those important boxes off!

    Grat trip round Adelaide and Wineries.

    HI Michael, Craig really loves Adelaide. Ww have genuinely had people move to Adelaide after spending a day with Craig on tour.

    Fun while in Adelaide.

    RuthAnn_P, Nov 2025
