A comfortable and comprehensive day trip to Adelaide Hills led by a knowledgeable local - Liz Green! Truly entertaining for most ages - our group included teenagers and seniors :)

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

We had a wonderful time w Liz on her Discover Adelaide Tour! Cleland was awesome, and walking around the park was an adventure with animals for sure! The Kangaroos, and Koalas-amazing. Great access and informative. We started the day with Mount Lofty which set the tome for a day of adventure, great food, Hahndorf was fabulous. We had free time to shop and roam the historic town. The White House Burgers were GREAT. Next we were treated to a Willie Wonka style factory a hidden gem. Next was a great wine tasting and cheese offering, the wine was excellent and so was the setting. We had an amazing day, and really enjoyed Liz and her knowledge about the area and treating us to some local flavors. We both were amazed and how much we did, but never felt rushed. Great DAY! Thank you to Liz! She is focused on giving the best curated tour possible. We will be back.

I booked a private group tour for 8 with Discover Adelaide well in advance of our arrival. Liz, owner, was quick in her responses to all my questions via WhatsApp. Her day tour was a perfect balance of all that we wanted to see in Adelaide; Mount Lofty Summit, Cleland Wildlife Park, the German village of Hahndorf, Melba’s Chocolate & Confectionary, and finally wine tasting at Cobb’s Hill Estate Winery. It was such a great tour! The van was very comfortable, and Liz used a headset for her commentary throughout the day. The people in the back could clearly hear her every word. Liz was very personable and knowledgeable. The highlight of the tour for me was feeding the kangaroos and seeing the koalas up close. We wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful city!!

Discover Adelaide with Liz was fantastic. Great variety on our tour - Viewpoint - Wildlife - Chocolate Factory - Winery. Liz was very knowledgable and informative at each stop - highly recommend her ! We would not hesitate to use Liz and Discover Adelaide again should we be fortunate have that opportunity again.

We can't recommend this tour highly enough. We saw wonderful sites but the best part was spending time with a local who loves and takes pride in Adelaide. To have a day to visit together was a gift, and we will long remember our guide's knowledge, kindness, good humor and competence. Thank you!
