10 Bus Tours in Adelaide That You Shouldn't Miss

June 13, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

The capital city of South Australia is simply enchanting, a treasure trove of shopping, fine arts, gastronomy and outdoor activity. Adelaide is the heart of the world's opal industry, selling gorgeous stones from South Australian mines. Be sure to hike the aptly named Mt. Lofty Ranges and catch a wave off the Fleurieu Peninsula. Indulge your adventurous palate and traipse into nearby wine regions like the famed Barossa Valley to pick up a deliciously drinkable souvenir.

We used sealink to get from kangaroo Island to Adelaide and the service was generally good. Check in was easy in KI however clerk was not that helpful as I was unsure about luggage. Next time I will know! There is a luggage van - self serve - which actually comes off the ferry when it arrives. Easy once you know. Actual crossing was pretty rough so suggest sit in seats near rear of boat and very convenient to bathrooms! Our link from ferry to bus at Cape Jervois was easy - remember you have to collect your bag and put it on to bus yourself. There is a food outlet on the ferry but we only found this out near the end of our trip and it had just closed - arghh. (They don’t tell you!). A little more organisation and this would have been a wonderful experience.

My husband and I had a wonderful day being guided by Matthew around McLaren Vale. He took the time to get to know us and from there he really personalised the tour to suit our style. This tour was part of our honeymoon trip and we were treated to some of the most delicious and refined wineries and restaurants on offer. We were even gifted some beautiful wine glasses to remember this special trip. As first time visitors to South Australia, Matthew’s exceptional knowledge made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We were able to take our time and really enjoy every moment. The extra surprise of a drop off at ‘Big Easy Radio’ at the end of the tour for cocktails and live music was yet another highlight from a stellar tour. Thanks Matthew!

Our wine tour felt like a behind the scenes tour of mclaren vale, which included a mix of the bigger wineries and some of the small boutiques. Our favourite stop was at Hugh Hamilton with the 360 stunning views and amazing tasting wine. I highly recommend anyone thinking about booking this tour, definitely book it!

As a solo traveller this tour was a fun and easy way to visit a selection of wineries. The driver/guide Nathan was most friendly and informative and made everyone feel relaxed for the day. The ability to choose which wineries to visit and picked up after an hour was great and as a couple of us decided to extend our time at one winery a quick text to Nathan was all that was needed. A fabulous day out at a very reasonable cost. Can highly recommend.
