What people are saying about Adelaide

Our fantastic driver/guide showed great knowledge on facts and history about the Adelaide Hills and Barossa valley area. The wineries staff presented their produce very well and explained the 'drops', including answers to questions were answered with 'respect & some humour'. Good to see the very reliable and very cautious driver staying away from the wine, while for us, having nice company along, it was a ball and a very relaxing day - great way enjoying wines & life :)

A great day, with good group of fellow wine tasters, made super enjoyable by our tour guide Gerri, who kept us all entertained with her commentary - Highly recommended.

Beautiful scenic, small group tour with a fantastic guide. Nic was lovely and I’d recommend him to anyone

Fabulous day in the Clare Valley, great variety of wineries - thanks so much Tom.
