It was amazing tour . Our Driver Robert was nice to speak with. He also gave us a brief of towns/ suburbs we crossed during our journey to the locations. It was a great experience

Excellent way to see some worthwhile spots. Driver was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Tour ran on time, plenty of opportunity to see the sights. Highly recommended

We had a great day, Manne was a wonderful guide. It turned out just to be the two of us, and he changed the time for Mt Lofty lookout due to weather which worked out great.

Peter was great! I learnt a lot about Adelaide and had a really fun time.

A little more time in Hahndorf would have been nice.
