We picked up a brochure from an Adelaide Hotel. We liked the look of the variety of things to do on our day trip. We didn't want just a winery. We got lucky, Liz was doing the tour we wanted the next day. There was only 4 others on the mini bus. Liz was excellent. As a local, she knew the old and more current things about the Adelaide Hills. She explained the area well, and obviously loved her area. We didn't feel rushed. We visited "tourist" things, but it was exactly what we wanted.

Liz was an AMAZING tour guide! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we hoped it would be, and even more! We had booked her small group tour for a Sunday, but decided to move the booking to Monday instead. Doing so, we actually lucked out with a PRIVATE tour just our family of three), as no one else had booked for the day! Liz personalized our tour to ensure we had a fabulous experience at Cleland Wildlife Park feeding the kangaroos and wallabies, petting Edmond the koala, getting some great photos and sharing her expertise on the locale and animals! Liz asked us about the kinds of wine we enjoy, and then took us to a fabulous vineyard where the OWNER gave us a private tasting of her excellent wines! We also enjoyed our walkabout in Hahndorf, where we enjoyed treats at a local bakery and ate a delicious German lunch at a local restaurant. After that, Liz dazzled us with a trip to Melba’s Chocolate Factory where she gave us a tour and a tasting of several of the delicacies they make there! We enjoyed all the information and trivia Liz shared with us, as well as learning the rich history of the areas we went past on our travels. It was a marvelous experience - we highly recommend Liz and Discover Adelaide Tours!!

Excellent tour. Liz let us take plenty of time taking photos and feeding wallabies and kangaroos. Handdorf is a lovely town to visit, very interesting. The wine tasting in a beautiful setting was a lovely end to the tour as well as the scenic drive through the hills. Highly recommend this tour.

A busy and interesting day, our host Liz was very knowledgable, engaging and easy company. The wildlife park and wine tasting at Nepenthe were probably the highlights and Hahndorf made a great lunch stop Sadly mount lofty wasn’t playing ball - we will have to check the views next visit

We booked the "Adelaide Hills Tour" and weren't disappointed. We were picked up from the hotel without any problems, then drove to Cleland Wildlife Park where we had the opportunity to see and feed native animals. Afterwards, we went to Hahndorf where we had two hours of free time, followed by a visit to a chocolate factory where we sampled plenty of chocolates. The day ended with a wine tasting. We thank Liz for the eventful and fun day. We wish you, dear Liz, all the best for the future and will definitely recommend you. Best regards, Emily and Jana

I have been on many tours before and Liz was one of the best tour guides I have ever met - VERY knowledgeable and SUPER friendly. I have learned so much about Australia (especially about its unique animals and its culture - e.g., I have never heard of netball, how the education system is set up, how the koalas mate, etc.) and I was having so much fun that the 8-hour tour went by too quickly! Adelaide Hills area has so much to offer and this tour covers it all (or at least so I felt). Highly recommended!

Liz gave me a wonderful day in the Adelaide Hills. She was easy to communicate with before hand, explained the day when we started, and was a great tour guide. I asked to learn more about the history and natural history of what we were experiencing and she shared lots of information which I really appreciated. Liz offered options throughout the day and kindly took pictures/video of me while experiencing the animals at Cleland Park. She gave me a great suggestion for lunch at Hahndorf and drove me around Adelaide itself as we had some extra time and due to the heat I hadn't been able to walk around the city as much as I usually like to do. You'll have a great time with Liz!

So today was tour day with our guide Liz. If you are ever in Adelaide i can highly recommend this lady's company. What a fantastic day and great guide with top knowledge. Mount Lofty but was cloudy early doors, but Liz returned us later in the tour to make sure we didn't miss anything, Cleland wildlife park, Hahndorf, Melba's chocolate and confectionary factory and Cobb Hill Estate wine tasting. No need to walk to another pick up.point, picked up at our airbnb. A Fantastic day from start to finish. Thank you Liz
