Great wine tour and really nice guide! Went to great wineries.
Our guide Bayden knew all the ins and outs of the Barossa and his knowledge on wines had us all prepared for the tastings. Great scenery, great wineries, great lunch. A fabulous day all round.
Fantastic experience as we had such a great day out exploring the Barossa Valley! Jordan was incredibly approachable, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome from the start. His passion for what he does really shone through, and he shared lots of interesting stories and local knowledge throughout the day. The itinerary was well-paced, the wineries were fantastic, and everything was organised seamlessly. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Highly recommend Groovy Grape Adventures to anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable Barossa Valley experience! 🍷
The Barossa wine tour with Groovy Grape was fantastic. It was a great value for the money. Jordan was a knowledgeable and friendly host. We were told we would be picked up at 8:40–8:50 and we were on the bus at 8:49. Then he offered to drop us at our hotel rather than having to walk 15 minutes back. Recommended without any hesitation!
Great day, Jordan was a great host, so much verity through the day, highly recommend
Fantastic day out, our driver Aaron fantastic.
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.
