This tour operator is a joke!! Booked a limo tour... it was a van that tuned up...their rationale, it’s registered as limo... their website says the wine tastings are included in cost... We had to pay for every wine tasting... I requested at least a reimbursement on the tastings and was told that not in 15 year had they ever had such a request. I suspect that in their 15 years of operating they’re used to ripping off international tourist and don’t actually deal with Adelaide locals. My partner and I are Travel agents and neither of us have ever dealt with such a stubborn operator who wouldn’t recognise where they did wrong. Woe to the next person who deals with these people.

We were fortunate enough to win a $50 voucher from SA Tourism and spent it on a Devonshire Tea cruise for two on the Popeye. It was wonderful! I am from Adelaide, and my partner is from out of state. Neither of us had been on the Popeye before, but now I feel so happy to have experienced it. I would definitely recommend to others for any occassion. Great Skipper, with new information and interesting, funny commentary. Also the scones we got on the Tea Cruise were plentiful and delicious!

Very enjoyable. Katina is a knowledgeable guide & she makes the most of the city centre. The end stop was our downfall & an absolute pleasure. I forgot how interesting our city can be & the variety of cultures and tastes

I’ve been to Adelaide Markets several times with family but had never done a food tour. I would highly recommend it. This company is now called Food Tours Australia. Our guide was very knowledgeable, very informative and managed to get us all around in the allotted time. We had a good amount of time to stock up as well. Wonderful!
