My husband and I had a wonderful day being guided by Matthew around McLaren Vale. He took the time to get to know us and from there he really personalised the tour to suit our style. This tour was part of our honeymoon trip and we were treated to some of the most delicious and refined wineries and restaurants on offer. We were even gifted some beautiful wine glasses to remember this special trip. As first time visitors to South Australia, Matthew’s exceptional knowledge made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We were able to take our time and really enjoy every moment. The extra surprise of a drop off at ‘Big Easy Radio’ at the end of the tour for cocktails and live music was yet another highlight from a stellar tour. Thanks Matthew!

As a solo traveller this tour was a fun and easy way to visit a selection of wineries. The driver/guide Nathan was most friendly and informative and made everyone feel relaxed for the day. The ability to choose which wineries to visit and picked up after an hour was great and as a couple of us decided to extend our time at one winery a quick text to Nathan was all that was needed. A fabulous day out at a very reasonable cost. Can highly recommend.

This is the tour to do when you first arrive in Adelaide. We were pleasantly surprised by the Orientation and History part that was at the start of the ride. Our guide, Matthew was knowledgeable, informative and funny. Lots of fun facts about Adelaide and it’s history. The ride itself is paced to the slowest rider and continues on the Torrens until you reach the coast near Henley. A pit stop there for coffee and sweet or savoury treat from the cafe before completing the ride down to Glenelg. A tram ticket back to Adelaide and a great morning was had. It was fun and had some exercise as well. This tour is a must to see lots of Adelaide in a reasonably quick time. Highly recommended.
