Great communication from Roy the day prior to the tour re pick up arrangements, turned up on time on the day of the tour. Changed the order of the tour a bit as the view from the hill over the city would be obscured by mist. First stop was for coffee and a rocky road at a strawberry farm, then through the hills to Murray Bridge and the lunch cruise. The meal was "sit down" rather than a buffet with a menu presented before the boat set off. The food was excellent, I had roast chicken, and the scenery was fantastic on a sunny day. After the boat trip, we headed back for an afternoon stop at Hahndorf. the village is ok but it's a bit of a tourist trap. Drop offs back in the city were on schedule to end a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Very enjoyable, the views at Mt Lofty over Adelaide were amazing. A lovely walk at Hahndorf. Could do with more time. The boat trip along the Murray with lunch was enjoyable. Recommend the fish and chips and apple crumble for lunch on board. Phil was a brilliant driver and very entertaining.

It is a relaxing day out with lots of great scenery. Roy is a great host who needs help with his jokes. Vehicle was clean and comfortable.

Roy the bus driver was superb, plenty of info and his pommie humour was right up there, a great day! Food and company was friendly. The scenic route home was good, Roy?
