5.00What a fantastic day we just had with Liz from Discover Adelaide doing the Cleland Wildlife Park and Hahndorf tour. Liz gives a background along the way with information about the history of Adelaide and how it came about plus loads of other facts throughout the day - just enough though not all of the time.We first made a quick visit to Mount Lofty summit - enough time to take a few photos and visit the gift shop if required. Our next stop was the highlight of the day The Cleland Wildlife Park where Liz guided us through an approx 2 hour tour being very informative throughout about the park and the animals - we were able to feed a few of the animals including kangaroos , ducks and coots. During the park visit you could have a close encounter with a koala but if you were not worried about this then Liz is able to take you on the wetland wildlife trail which was brilliant as were saw lots of baby ducks and coots along the way. The 3 in house pelicans are massive and there is a feeding time which was lovely to see ( something that you might not manage if Liz did not guide you ). On leaving the park we were then taken to the town of Hahndorf for lunchtime but you are only given a few guidelines on where you might want to eat there is no pressure to pick a particular place which is very refreshing - you have about 2 hours here which is enough to grab something to eat as well as wander up both sides of the street to look in the many shops. After this we went to a chocolate tasting where we were given 6 different items to try and a quick look at how the chocolate is hand made still - our final stop was at a vineyard where we had a taste of 5/6 wines from sparkling to white to red and a cheese platter to share. All in all a very varied and informative day which was very much a highlight of our holiday so far. Would not hesitate to pick another tour with Discover Adelaide
Fun, friendly fantastic day and tour, incorporating everything we wanted!

5.00I had an excellent day out in the Adelaide Hills with Discover Adelaide Tours. Our guide, Liz, was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. She made the whole experience relaxing, fun, and memorable. Even when the surprise showers came through, Liz had umbrellas ready for everyone, which kept the group comfortable and smiling. Her insights into the region really brought the tour to life, and her warm personality made it feel like we were traveling with a friend. A tip for anyone planning to visit: wear warm clothes, as it can get quite chilly up in the Hills. Thank you, Liz, for making the day so special—we’ll remember it for a long time!
Stress free way to experience the hills.

5.00Liz was a great host, and had a lot of knowledge regarding spots around Adelaide and the hills. Cleland, and Hahndorf and Mount lofty were great. A great way to experience the hills with no stress. Certainly recommended.

5.00I joined the Adelaide Hills tour yesterday and had the best time. The sunny weather made the day even better, and my favourite part was feeding the kangaroos—it felt so special to be that close. The tour was relaxed, well-organised, and gave me a real feel for the region. Highly recommend!

5.00I had a great day with Liz. I was the only customer, and the tour went ahead anyway—awesome. On the way, she shared lots of interesting information about the area and what I would be seeing. Feeding the kangaroos was fun. Bought some chocolate and even get a change to taste some wine. Great experience with an amazing guide!
