Tour to Murray River luncheon cruise great....staff friendly and other patrons as well. There was little time to visit Hahndorf with all the shops and food....and the Mill is closed permanently....I would separate the two tours and have Hahndorf as it's own tour....1 kilometer of shops, food, and taverns, and wineries as well. We didn't have enough time to shop....Iwould give it a 8.0. The lady running the tour and driving the bus was great....Mount Lofty was part of our tour as well. The tour needs to be adjusted to accommodate shopping and less rushing around....all in all- good time and the people we met were great.

OMG, this tour was awesome...from being picked up from hotel, driven via Mt Lofty to Murray Bridge, for the 3 hour lunch cruise, via Hahndorf back to hotel door was "most excellent" especially the bus commentary...

Paul was a great guide, giving us lots of interesting info about Aussie history, Adelaide and the areas we visited with plenty of Aussie humour. The locations were great, the boat (needs a bit of tlc) was relaxing, cruising up the river, past the conservation areas. We saw several different types of birds. The food provided on board was really good too. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Extremely professionally run, from the moment we were picked up the day went seamless. Very knowledgable host, it was obvious his love for the state and the tour he runs. Very funny guy as well. The bus was modern and well looked after. The trip along the river was very relaxing and lunch was great. Overall a great day. A tour not to be missed.
