“Beware the packages.. not so groovy”

Reviewed 4 February 2012

I’d booked onto the 13 day Sparkling Chardonnay package to end my month long trip around the east coast as it covered lots of things I wanted to and had heard good things about the company. I had to book it a couple of months ago so I could make sure I got a reasonably cheap flight back home to... More

Dear Claire F, Our Package Deals are separate tours booked together to receive a discounted price, allowing flexibility for our customers to explore the cities in between tours if they wish. This is made evident on the Package Deals page of our website where it states in bold: “Please note: Accommodations in Adelaide between tours is at your own expense.... More

“The true outback experience”

Reviewed 23 January 2012

I had a fantastic tour with Groovy Grapes travelling with a small group from Alice Springs, in the center of Australia, to Adelaide, in the South. We hiked quite a lot, and slept in sleeping bags and SWAGS outside in the desert. We were lucky to have a great group, but we also had an amazing guide called Daniel who... More

“Not quite up to expectations”

Reviewed 20 January 2012

Spent a lot of time on transit on the 2-day kangaroo island tour. It is a big island and by the time you add travel from Adelaide to ferry, then the ferry ride, its becomes a lot of time in a confined space. It's a very rugged place, quite desolate so not quite as visually stunning as I expected. Our... More

Dear Travelbec, Thanks for your honest review. From your experience, you can see why we don't operate 1 day tours on Kangaroo Island. The island is 150km in length which proves to be a challenge logistically even for our 2 & 3 day tours, but it makes up for it with its abundance of wildlife and quality of beaches -... More

“The Rock Patrol - amazing week, so much fun!!!”

Reviewed 7 December 2011

I just got back from the 6day/5night Rock Patrol tour from Adelaide to Alice Springs. It's been one of the best things I've done in Australia so far. I just loved seeing the landscape change from the coast to the red centre. The landscape around Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon is stunning. You do need to be prepared for... More

Dear Kirsten, Thanks so much for your review. Not sure if you knew, but this was actually the very first Rock Patrol Tour that Penny guided herself! Our tour guides really make an effort to entertain their groups and give regular breaks on those days where there is a lot of driving between attractions. Groovy Grape Getaways prides itself on...

“Best thing we did in Australia!”

Reviewed 10 November 2011

My husband and I did the Rock 2 Water tour, 5 days/4 nights from Alice Springs to Adelaide. I was a little nervous starting out because I didn't know what to expect of the group and what the camping situation would be like. Our group was 16 women and 4 men (though I don't think that's typical!). There was a... More

So much better than we could have imagined. We did the Rock2Water and Great Ocean Road tours. We did Uluru, Kings Canyon etc first, the walks were just the right length, not too short or long.
