We had the most experient and well informed tour guide ever!!! Very well balanced tour so that we are well informed of Adelaide and wine regions.

Absolutely need to do this. Craig was the best driver/ guide. Took up past interesting points of interest, and free things to do around Adelaide. Hahndorf was worth the visit again. The two wineries were professional and not overpriced. Great cheese platter. Views of Adelaide, wine fields and stop at Glenelg were a good end of the day.

This was an excellent day trip with lots to see and enjoy in the company of a first class guide. We went to places to see the city from different perspectives, had a good stop at Hahndorf, and two different wine tasting opportunities each with too many glasses! Overall it was a great day giving us a lovely perspective on the city and hills surrounding it.

Our guide was Bruce and he was a friendly person. He gave us a great overview of the regions and took us to all interesting locations. Also dropped us back at our hotels .

Patricia_E

Fantastic day out with a mix of sightseeing and wine tasting in the McLaren Vale wine region. Such a great combo and relaxing day all around. Russell, our guide was great- very personable, friendly and clearly was very knowledgeagble about the region. Loved having time to wander, shop and eat in Hahndorf, an adorable little town. Both wineries in McLaren Vale were fantastic. Loved the first one (Haselgrove) so much I shipped a case of wine home. If you're looking for a tour that includes a little bit of everything, this is it.
