Victor Harbor Day Tour with return via McLaren Vale
This tour was very enjoyable, the driver, Roger was informative and supplied lots of information as we left Adelaide via Mt Barker and headed to Strathalbyn for a short break. A very nice country town with lots of interesting buildings. We then headed to Goolwa and looked at the lake and barrages, before heading into Victor Harbor. The causeway was amazing and the granite island offered many magnificent views. Plenty of wildlife around on the walk. Had a quick lunch break, before heading back to Adelaide via the McLaren Vale wine region.

Fun, quirky, and extremely informative.
Pete, the driver, was fantastic. His knowledge of the history of Adelaide was accurate and interestingly informative. He also had a quirky sense of humour, and his knowledge of interesting but unusual facts was hilarious. I liked his honest assessment of places to eat. I would most certainly recommend this tour company after 2 awesome experiences.
Operator response

Very good Athol gave a very good commentary throughout the whole trip. He has a goid sense of humour. A very good drive
A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. A SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO PARK THE BUS IN THE OLD AREA OF STRATHALBYN SO WE COULD ENJOY A WALK UP & DOWN THE STREET TO ENJOY THE HOUSES.
Operator response

Your suggestion about parking the bus in the old area of Strathalbyn has been noted. We always strive to make our guests' experiences enjoyable and your feedback plays a big role in that.

Big bus tour
OK, but this is a "big bus" tour, not the same service as you get with a good guide on a 10-12 seater. Also targeted at retirees. Not fantastic for younger travelers, but some good sight seeing.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback, Scott. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion as we aim to provide a comfortable and scenic journey for all travelers. We're glad you enjoyed the sightseeing and appreciate your thoughts!
Kind Regards, Holly from Adelaide Sightseeing

Need a refund
This experience was cancelled by the operator due to lack of other participants. I am wondering why Trip Advisor does not know this? I was told by operator that they will refund trip advisor, and trip advisor will refund me. So far no communications / email from trip advisor, instead a request for a review…. This is very poor.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback, and we were sorry that the tour was cancelled. The refund has now been processed, and you should receive your full payment in due course.

Wonderful Saturday in the Southern Adelaide
The driver and guide were fantastic! I suggest making a stop in Gowla to fully appreciate the main attractions before heading straight to Victor Harbor. Spending at least two hours in Victor Harbor will allow us to enjoy the beautiful city and its stunning views. Overall, it was a worthwhile investment and a wonderful Saturday. Thank you for the opportunity
