The tour company is very responsible, they contact me by both phone and email to make sure I received the meetup time and place. The tour has two of us only, I am so surprised they made this tour for us. The car is luxury and clean. Tour guide Anil is kind, very responsible, he told us the site history, specials and help us to queue in the Koala holding point. This tour is perfect, the route is smooth, I was headaching when planning the transportation to Gorge Park and Hahndorf, and this tour popped up, everything fit to all my needs, this tour is the only way can bring me to Gorge and Hahndorf, highly recommended this perfect worthy tour.

Branko is our driver and wine-tasting guide – he's friendly, cheerful, and extremely reliable. He's very organized and arranges the entire itinerary for the wineries and restaurant, which really made our day! I'd definitely recommend this tour company to my friends who want to visit McLaren Vale. Cheers!

Adelaide Hills Day Tour — Beautiful & Relaxing Had a wonderful day exploring Adelaide Hills. The scenery was peaceful and stunning, and the stops were well-planned with plenty of time to enjoy each place. Our driver, Zameer, was incredibly kind and friendly — he made the journey smooth and enjoyable with his warm personality and thoughtful explanations. One small suggestion: it would be even better to reduce the amount of city driving after pick-up and head straight to the hills, so there’s more time to enjoy Mount Lofty and the Botanic Garden. Overall, a very relaxing and memorable experience.

A perfect getaway from cities. The transportation arrangement of the trip is awesome. The drivers (and the guide) are friendly and informative. The trip is definitely worthy.

Art Gallery of South Australia

The gallery features a wide range of art from Australia and around the world. It sits along North Terrace, close to the museum and the state library. It’s an easy stop for a calm indoor break.

You can make the most of your day when you join the Adelaide Glenelg Beach & Art Gallery Private Day Tour, giving you an easy way to see the coast and explore the gallery in one trip.

Tips before visiting Adelaide

1. Check the weather and dress for the day

Adelaide’s weather changes during the year, so light layers help. If you plan to visit the Adelaide Hills or walk in parks like Morialta Conservation Park, bring comfy shoes and sun protection.

2. Use public transport for easy travel

You can move around the city center and beaches using trams, buses, and trains. The routes help you reach popular attractions without driving.

3. Plan a wine day if you enjoy tasting

The Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and other wine regions are close and simple to visit. You can book guided tours or drive yourself to cellar doors and picnic areas.

4. Take advantage of free attractions

Many places offer free admission, such as the Migration Museum and parks around North Adelaide. You can also enjoy walking trails, river paths, and outdoor spaces without spending much.

5. Save time by staying near the city center

If you stay near the Adelaide CBD or along Frome Road, you can reach many attractions on foot. This makes your trip easier and helps you explore more in a day.
