I thought I'd be lost for words writing this review about Roy our guide but, funnily enough, I'm not. An absolutely fantastic tour guide — informative, engaging and genuinely impressive. His bad jokes somehow made the tour even better, keeping everyone laughing the whole time. A perfect mix of knowledge, humour and personality that made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend asking for Roy if you book with this Company, ypu will.not be disappointed! Thanks Roy for a beaut day Cheers Jodie

Roy was a very knowlegeable and helpful guide, he was also an absolute hoot - with endless Dad jokes!!! Mount Lofty was very impressive with stunning views; the River Cruise was lovely and very relaxing with delicious fish & chips... but for me, Hahndorf was the highlight and I could've stayed all afternoon.

Phil was a great tour guide. He put up with us all with a lot of humour back and forth. Felt like we had always known him. The boat cruise was awesome. Food was great. Would thoroughly recommend it for a quiet day out.
Amazing tour

This was amazing tour. All stops had plenty of time to look around and lunch on the Murray River was so good. The staff was also amazing specially Roy.

Good tour guide/bus driver with enough information to help us make decisions. E.g. 1 hour at Hahndorf, she suggested where to shop. Murray River Cruise was very pleasant, but the commentary was completely ignored by the rest of the guests, as they talked so loudly, we could not hear. We could hear outside, but the day was chilly, so not an ideal place.
Disappointing

Guide was way too chatty and quite annoying. Cruise was relaxing but lunch was not very good. I would never book with this company again.

Graham was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we travelled through and his light hearted humour made for a lovely day. Unfortunately the lunch was a let down on the river cruise. I had the fish and chips and ended up with a plate full of burnt, oily batter with little bits of dry fish here and there, others at our table felt equally let down give what we paid.
Tired

View from Mt. Lofty provides a sense of Adelaide layout, but not spectacular. River boat is tired and due for retrofit. Many river views obscured by trees along riverbank. Lunch was good and plentiful. Hahndorf typical small tourist trap. Karen our guide was informative but an impatient driver.
