We had an absolutely brilliant tour of Kangaroo Island. As we only had a few days in Adelaide we chose the one day tour to really just get a taste of the island and get an idea of what's there, with a view to maybe coming back in the future for a longer trip. From the minute we were picked up in Adelaide CBD we were well looked after by the Sealink staff. However, our driver and tour guide for the day - Dani - was just incredible. She was remarkably knowledgeable about the island, was friendly and professional, and took amazing care of us all as we went around the various activities. They really pack in the sight seeing on the day trip and I think it's great value for money, there is plenty to see and the tour on the bus makes it really interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend! And we'll definitely be back to Kangaroo Island for a longer stay!

Join a micro-group of just 8 guests for a relaxing, rewarding and stimulating tour full of scenic diversity. Birds eye views of cities, vast farmland, famous wine regions, extinct volcanoes, coastal icons, shipwrecks, rainforests and winding cliff top roads. Add to this some great food and wine and small group of like-minded travellers and you have a very memorable 3 days. The itinerary has been carefully planned so that you will take in many different experiences while keeping the schedule at a comfortable and relaxed pace. The first part of this tour through farmland on route to Naracoorte Caves and the Coonawarra wine region is less visually spectacular and is therefore done at a faster pace to allow more time on the Great Ocean Road. Traveling in a small group of no more than 8 people will also allow you more time at places and a more personalised experience.

Inclusions: 2 nights accommodation, Breakfast, Breakfast, Dinner, Dinner, National Park fees, Wine tasting, Live commentary on board, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Lunch, Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

My friend and I booked this 2 day trip to Daylesford as an impromptu addition to a weekend in Melbourne. It was just the two of us, and our guide, Jurgon, tailored the trip as we went to suit us as he got to know us. Jurgon was a charming, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed two “hatted” dining experiences in the one day and over the weekend a mix of landscapes, history, cider tasting mixed with some interesting local artisan shops and experiences. By the time Jurgon left us at the airport we felt like old friends. Both of us agreed we’d do it all again in an instant.

This tour operator is a joke!! Booked a limo tour... it was a van that tuned up...their rationale, it’s registered as limo... their website says the wine tastings are included in cost... We had to pay for every wine tasting... I requested at least a reimbursement on the tastings and was told that not in 15 year had they ever had such a request. I suspect that in their 15 years of operating they’re used to ripping off international tourist and don’t actually deal with Adelaide locals. My partner and I are Travel agents and neither of us have ever dealt with such a stubborn operator who wouldn’t recognise where they did wrong. Woe to the next person who deals with these people.

Bob has the excellent skill of being extremely professional and down to earth and friendly at the same time. We went to Maclaren Vale where we visited a combination of our own choices and Bob’s recommendations. We never felt rushed, we fitted in a lot, a tribute to Bob’s efficiency. If you want a tour where you don’t have to put up with other people ????, then the private tours are great value. Would do again and will recommend to anyone I know visiting SA.

Fantastic tour of the Barossa Valley which included Maggie Beer's farm shop, wine tasting, great lunch at Wanera wine bar , ice cream, time at Seppeltsfield, and great commentary supplied by Roger. Perfect day to finish our holiday on the Proud Mary. Would highly recommend contacting Roger as I believe he would tailor a tour to suit your group.

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.
