Jay was fantastic. So friendly, patient ,ll, and accommodating. I had an amazing time on this trip.
Annil was fantastic! The tour was so well planned and organised. The cheese, chocolate, lunch was yummo, Mount Lofty spectacular and Hahndorf was next level. 100% Value for money. Definitely recommended it!
Overall a very good day out. Guide was good however his initial comments about Adelaide where incorrect. He announced that Adelaide was rediscovered. Which is not true. There was no City buildings or infrastructure existing on the site prior the British people founding the City. Native peoples called the area land of the Red Kangaroo, no permanent fixed settlement existed prior to that. If a city is rediscovered after a period of time then fine however this was not the case. Nothing that remotely resembled a city existed. Giving tribute to native people is fine & necessary however it is an illusion to say Adelaide was rediscovered. Founded would be the more appropriate word as that is what actually happened.
Annil was a fantastic guide, well versed in the history and cultural aspects of the areas we visited. He was polite and well orgsnised. Thank you Annil for a wonderful vist to Adelaide City and surrou nds.
