This was the 2nd wine tour of our trip, 3rd overall and best by far. Craig, our driver and guide was totally professional, knowledgeable and thoroughly helpful. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide and the day could not have been better. We went to two wineries, were given many free tastings and had loads of time to enjoy the experience, in addition to taking in some amazing sights of the coastal towns around Adelaide. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he ensured everyone onboard had a great day, which sadly can't be said of another company we went with. Don't be put off with the relatively low price, the quality of service and experience cannot be beaten. Will certainly book again when we next visit Adelaide!

We had a great day with this company. Pre-tour, we dealt with James whose communication was immediate and thorough. He gave his honest option on car sickness, which was very accurate. Thankfully his recommendation of what to do worked out well and I got through it in one piece. Word to the wise, you do spend a lot of time in the car on the one day tour so car sickness might be a problem for some people. If this sounds like you and you have the additional day up your sleeve, best to pick their 2 day option. Alas, we only had one day, so we had to bite the bullet. On the day, Aaron was our guide. We got some incredible snaps, as he had a great talent for getting us to great picture spots when there wouldn’t be a lot of people there. I’m not sure if this was by accident or on purpose, but I expect the latter. He was also very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and we got to meet his wife en-route and she came out of her house beside the road, to wave to us and to give Aaron his work packed lunch for the day. It was nice to know we were being driven around by a real local. And because he was local, he really did seem to deliver us to some delightfully quiet but equally picturesque spots along the way.

10/10. The tour was informative, interesting and so so fun. The WTT team help you out so much with your travel plans as well as giving great advise if you’re looking to continue Aussie life working. WTT set you up with an Aussie SIM card, bank account and give you a two hour one on one to determine what you may wish to do once the trip has ended. Great help if you’re unsure what your plans are. The tour itself is so much fun and great value for money. Billy is a great guide with a good sense of humour, the trip was jam packed but never rushed and very relaxed. Surfing was a particular highlight for me personally and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned from the lesson to the great ocean road (a trip WTT helped with too!) We made great friends along the way too. #Steffen65 eating 65 dumplings at the all you can eat dumpling restaurant was a very amusing highlight ❤️ Thank you guys for a fabulous week!!
