The driver Aaron is very informative and very friendly and an extremely good driver we really enjoyed the tour
This tour that was our second choice was cancelled on us as was our first choice, we were very disappointed and can not recommend.
This is a very disappointing and confusing review. You were booked on this tour however the night before we contacted you to say we had a ill guide and we would like to upgrade you to a more expensive tour at no extra cost. You did the tour and from all reports the guide said you had a wonderful day. For some reason you still felt the need to leave a 1 star review on the tour you didn't do, the worst you could leave even though we did everything possible with the circumstances we faced. If the upgraded option wasn't something you preferred we would have given you a full refund.
There was a bit of a mix up with the hotel pick up and James and Jason went out of their way to accommodate and give me a great experience. A fantastic team.
Hi Audley, thanks for this wonderful review. Things do happen that are sometimes out of our control. We will always put the passengers experience before everything else.
Russell our guide and driver was excellent. Kept us well informed and we all enjoyed it. Will recommend it others.
Thanks Odelia.. So glad you enjoyed your day. This is such a great tour with so much in one day.

Excellent adventure….Jordan was amazing! Wine, beer,Chocolate…lovely lunch! Great all day adventure…
Really great trip ! Kye put leader was very knowledgable and made the trip really interesting. The first winery ‘tweedies’ was definitely the best. Sample sizes at the second ‘lambert estate’ were a bit disappointing but the food was really good! All the extra stops were interesting with the Giant rocking horse and chocolatier being included! Overall great experience and would recommend .
We had a lovely day, plenty of wine tasting with lunch and a flight of beer at the brewery followed by a trip to a chocolatier The journey was interesting and Badon is a great guide I would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking to explore the Barossa region
Jason was very a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great pace of a tour to some wonderful wineries and other sites. Delicious charcuterie lunch of locally produced foods!
