Bums on Seats - best Adelaide tour

Sam from Bums on Seats,was the driver on our private tour which was amazingly organised by his staff. Off the ship to Monarto Safari Park, Hahndorf. Lofty summit and a tour around beautiful Adelaide. They purchased tickets to the Park, and accepted each couple paying them their portion from all over the world 3 different currencies. Exceptional service

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your private tour and that Sam and the team delivered such seamless, exceptional service. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again.

A wonderful tour with a cheerful guide. Smiles all round!

The bus was on time at the correct spot. 'Deep, our driver, was a mother lode of information about the areas and locations. His years of experience showed well, especially his close personal relationships with the various cellars and tasting locations. Evidently well known and well loved by all. Everything went smoothly and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Top day out, made memorable by the personalised attention.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're pleased to hear that Deep made your day memorable with his extensive knowledge and personal connections at the various locations. It's great to know that everything went smoothly and you enjoyed yourselves immensely.

Fantastic tour to the Barossa

Such a great day out in the Barossa Valley. Wazza was an excellent driver and put up with our terrible singing with grace! Easy process to set up our itinerary and pick up location. Recommend them for your winery day out.

Operator response

We're glad to hear you had a great day in the Barossa Valley with Wazza! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for another winery adventure soon Vanessa!

Too much time with our Bum on a Seat

Our tour started off very well with our friendly driver 'Wazza'. We booked the 8-13 people tour for our group of 11. Then we stopped to pick up another group of 7... The tour was good until we came to lunch time...our preordered lunch (at Kies Winery) wasn't ready, which caused about a 45 minute wait, which then caused the rest of the day to be very rushed...we only had 45 minutes to sight see in Hahndorf, which was nowhere need enough time!

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Wazza. We apologize for the delay with your preordered lunch at Kies Winery, which caused a rushed experience later in the day. We appreciate your comments and will work on improving this aspect for future tours.

Houseboat transfer

Great company to plan our houseboat transfer through. Very accommodating when we called at short notice for an earlier pick up and right on time for our return pick up. Thanks for taking the stress out of our holiday

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words Tracey! We’re glad we could accommodate your needs and make your houseboat transfer stress-free. We appreciate your feedback and hope to assist you again in the future!

A great day out with friends exploring McLaren Vale. Wasiq was a great operator and gave us some good commentary along the drive and made sure we felt most welcome everywhere we went

Operator response

Sounds like a fantastic McLaren Vale adventure! We're thrilled Wasiq made your day enjoyable with his commentary and hospitality. Thank you for choosing us and for the kind words

Poor choice

Overall disappointing. Advertised price for a 10 passenger van. I booked and currently only recruited 4 people. I was able to get two more friends I had asked 4 total fortunately only 2 could go. They show up with a mini van can hold 7 people not 10. They then told me I would have to pay extra for the new people even though I rem I need them I paid for 10. We asked for wine tasting They took us to a farm for food 30 minutes. Then they wanted to take us to a chocolate place. We said no we want to do wine tasting. So the first winery was nice to look view but wines were not very good, none we would pay money to try. Next was kies which was good food and very good wine finally drove us to the last winery which was more like a Cafe and had several bad wines. They must get paid to bring people to these places. Clearly they know nothing about wines or wine tasting. Our guide did not drink wine. I would recommend using someone with knowledge of the wineries.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for any disappointment you encountered during the tour. We're sorry to hear about the discrepancy in the van size and the unexpected changes in the itinerary. To clarify, our advertised prices are based on a specific number of passengers, and any adjustments to the headcount should ideally be communicated with us in advance. This enables us to make the necessary arrangements, and we regret any confusion in this regard. Once again, we apologize for the inconveniences you faced, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps us grow and better serve our customers.

Bonding through trauma(Paul), makes friends stronger

To be frankly honest, Paul's behaviour was disgraceful. We had an absolute litany of issues with him even before he would let us on the bus. (See Google review by Morgan Doty for context). If he didn't fob her off and actually responded decently I would not have felt the need to leave this review. He responds to all his reviews like he would in person.... If it wasn't so disgraceful it would be actually funny. Short list of stuff he said/did: _Wouldn't let us play music, or he couldn't connect his Bluetooth, pick one. Instead he blasted his own. _Didn't want to take us to the places we wanted to go. _Lied about the last place being closed, when we called to check he has nothing to say, and took us there. _Was belligerent toward everyone at one point or another. _"See those two women kissing infront of us??? Luckily I caught them in the dash cam for later!!" _bragged about blackmailing the Adelaide crows because of incriminating footage he had captured of one of their players on his dashcam. He got some free tickets. _Spoke extremely poorly of the indigenous people of Adelaide, some would say, racist? _Explained to one of our friends (who is from Burmese descent), that he had a mail order bride from Thailand that he was married to. Almost like he was asking if she too was a mail a order bride, without actually asking. _Took calls on loud speaker all day, get a headset mate it's 2021. _30seconds before arriving at a particular venue, he would rattle of our activity, and then shoe'd us out the bus, with ZERO explanation of anything about the surroundings. _Bragged about his $120k land cruiser, like dude, we are here to learn about wine and God willing have a good time,not hear about your alt right opinion regarding the developed world. _ Icing on the cake - As we got off the bus at the end of the day, he yelled, "there are 13 of you, so I expect 13 good reviews because God knows I need them" Getting an Uber to drive us around would have been a better experience. There is a reason this clown is cheaper than everyone else, don't make the same mistake we did. ✌️✌️✌️
