A great day out - We had a very enjoyable day with Craig as our guide. We enjoyed learning about the history of Adelaide from someone who obviously loves living here. Craig made the day by being efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Adelaide

What a lovely day! - On time pick up was the start of a really great day! Craig brought Adelaide alive with his passion for his home town. He showed us all the city highlights with interesting and informative details. The various vineyard and cellar door visits with wine tastings very enjoyable too. I also enjoyed my free time in Hahndorf with a great German beer and lunch. The round off of the day was a visit to the Glenelg area. All in all a really enjoyable day out. Thank you Craig!

Perfect from startvto finish - This was an amazing tour, the guide Russell was so informative, easy to listen to and kept us entertained. That was enough time at each stop to explore the area and the wine tasting experiences equally as good. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

A day well spent - Great day seeing the city and a bit of the country. Organization and narration were excellent, under Craig’s care. The day is well spent seeing city sights, country roads, a charming town, vineyards and wineries, and an evening seaside sunset. Come one, come all.

Adelaide and beyond. - Craig was a fantastic guide. He is passionate about Adelaide. The tour was informative and well-paced. The sights of Adelaide, the Hills, Hahndorf and finally Glenelg were beautiful, especially with the autumn colours. The two wine tastings were in beautiful vineyards and very well hosted. Overall a great day out.

Just do it. - 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.
