We did this tour with Autopia Tours. Always wanted to visit the Great Ocean Road as well as the Grampians national park. This tour covers both and brings you to the lovely Adelaide city. The sights were incredible! We also saw many wild animals throughout the tour. We are thankful to our tour guide, Sam, who shared many wonderful stories and brought us to many hidden gems during the tour. A 10/10 experience that you wouldn’t want to miss!!

It's a long day starting 6:45 finsihed at 22:30 due to long distance travel and too much to see on the island. The tour is expensive but understandable for the long drive and ferry ticket. Schedule is a bit tight but we still enjoyed the tour to visit the main attractions. Highly recommend if you don't drive and have limited time of travel. The Remarkable Rocks are amazing and hope can stay longer. The last visit point at Wildlife Park exceed expdctation with different animals saw and you can feed the friendly kangaroos.

Our trip to Barossa Valley was so enjoyable with Miro as our guide and his super luxe van that is so comfortable and sophisticated. Our itinerary consisted of the best places to visit especially the Maggie Beer Farm, Chateu Tanunda and Hanhdorf Village. So worth the travel! Thank you Miro and Klook.

Manage to see sea lions, seals and dolphins! Luckily, the waves are not too choppy. Guide says no whales in this part of the sea...

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.
