Paul, our safe and enthusiastic driver and tour guide entertained our group all day. His driving skills where safe and always willing to go that extra mile for his clients. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with this particular company, supported by their latest driver / guide Paul. Thank you Paul for allowing us to explore your beautiful city of Adelaide. The comfort of your van was spacious and comfortable. An excellent tour for those keen to be entertained while discovering a new city. Thank you Paul. 👍👍👍

A memorable day
Clare_O, Apr 2024
Sitting outside on the deck of the boat and watching the scenery as we sailed along. A very worthwhile excursion. Also enjoyed the drive down to Murray Bridge.
The river cruise and the...
Charlotte_W, Apr 2024
The river cruise and the driver was brilliant! He was personable, shared stories, was considerate and knew his stuff!
Tour was great. Food was awful.
Lynda_C, Apr 2024
The tour drivers, Robert and Hayley, were great. Very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The boat trip was a disappointment. The food was definitely not in line with the cost, sad salad, fish was not fresh.
A word of caution
Kym_F, Apr 2024
The tour it self was wonderful our Driver Roy was just so funny and great to talk to Very knowledgeable about the area and Adelaide in general gave us time to see the sights and take photos etc he is a great credit to his company would take any of his tours he’s ten 🌟 But The river cruise that’s another story the boat ok but the trip was just up the river a bit and turn around and go down the river a bit then turn around and go back to were you started For a very short stretch of the river there are some nice cliffs and homes but that’s it The lunch on the paddle boat was horrible I had the chicken schnitzel It was left in the deep fryer to long and was like a piece of leather could not cut it also broke the plate trying too when I managed to get a piece of the chicken it was dry and taste less The chips were cold and soggy and the salad was dead it was a real Gordon Ramsay moment 😵‍💫 In fact everyone who was on our table had the same with the chips all cold etc The people who had the fish said that was nice but like the rest it was the same cold chips dead salads I told the waitress about it but got the so sorry line so hopefully they will pick their game up with the food in the future or they will get a bad name and lose business This is not good for you or them to have people having this experience
Great trip but confirm pick up time
John_W, Mar 2024
The trip was excellent and the driver Phil was friendly and very helpful. The trip down the river was very tranquil and the meal was good. The weather was perfect so it made the trip really enjoyable. I would recommend this trip. One tip, confirm your pick up time as there was some confusion with our time.
Wonderful

A Great Day
MaryJane_S, Feb 2024
I enjoyed the drive through the scenic Adelaide Hills and the countryside on the way to the river. The river cruise was very interesting and peaceful.
Great way to spend the day!
Patricia_E, Jan 2024
Really enjoyable day trip, we were a small group of 4 in the capable hands of Hayley, our tour guide & driver. Explored the hills then enjoyed a lovely lunch cruise on the Murray - food was good, efficient and friendly staff. A very relaxing 3 hours. Then off to Hahndorf with a free hour to explore this pretty village. Excellent value for money, would recommend!
A great, relaxing day in beautiful surroundings!
SHARON_B, Jan 2024
A great range of experiences with a knowledge, helpful & flexible guide. A great tour - thank you Hayley!

Matthew_R, Dec 2023
Scenery was nice, lunch on the cruise was pretty average. Was expecting higher quality than what we were served .
Cruising on the Murray
GILLIAN_S, Dec 2023
It was a fun day. I bonded well with my fellow passengers (3 other women from WA. VIC and QLD). We shared similar interests such as travel and birdwatching. The river cruise was relaxing and enjoyable. Food was okay and service helpful. Roy was an excellent driver/guide and provided helpful commentary and humour to our outings as well as getting us safely to where we needed to be, rearranging things to make the most of our day. Definitely recommend!
Wasted day
Von, Dec 2023
This trip was very poor the food on the boat was dreadful, spent 3 hours on the boat going going up the river 45 minutes Turning back to where we started then in the opposite direction. Then we went Hahndorf and only had 1 hour to walk around. It would have been better too have spent 3 hours there and purchase our own food.
good tour with hiccups
Kevin_A, Nov 2023
t.he hills tour was brilliant great friendly guide. the lunch cruise was unfortunate in the weather was bitterly cold and we drew the outside deck for lunch. i would suggest this should not be used on cold days the meal was cold before you could eat
