Top 10 Tours in Adelaide, South Australia

April 20, 2022 Mollie Coke

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.

Morialta Wilderness and Wildlife Hike was a nice activity. It provided serenity with beautiful display of nature. Even a red belly gave us a salute, of course from the distance. Thanks Uli for the 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!

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!

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.
