          A marvellous day out
          Roger was extremely knowledgable and made sure that not only did we do all the things we said we wanted to do, but that we learned more about the families, the region and the history. The only thing I'd change if we were doing it again (and we'll probably do it again!) Is that I would have asked Roger to just take us to all the places he thought were best - since all the places he took us were amazing!

          Roger was friendly and knowledgeable and all round a great guide. The tour was fully customisable and Roger worked with me to visit the kinds of places I wanted to see without feeling rushed. I would definitely use Ambler Touring again.

          Memorable
          Highly recommend Roger. Tour to Coorong was memorable. Best part though are his stories and his willingness to adapt to the interests of his clients. After the Coorong tour, we contacted Roger to ask if he was free for a 4-5 hour trip to the Adelaide Hills. Fortunately, he was, and because we'd already spent time with us, he knew what we enjoyed seeing and doing. Another lovely day.

          Wonderful day tour through McLaren Vale, highly recommend, just do it
          Wanted to say Thankyou to Ambler Touring for making my trip to Adelaide so special. it was good to see the surrounding areas, this tour took me through McLaren Vale, a particular big Thankyou to my driver Di. Di is a local and shared lots of information and history about the area, was friendly and attentive and took me into wineries and art galleries I would never think of going myself or knew existed which is the point of going on a tour with a local :-) my personal favourite was Taranga Winery, the rose and grenache outstanding with a dozen delivered to QLD address no problem, the day tour ended with a loop around Adelaide beaches and return to city. Adelaide is well worth a visit & look around, Adelaide city pleasant & easy to navigate with its North, South, East and West terraces, a guided walk around botanic gardens with an amazing cacti display & glasshouse, ate at Restaurant Botanic and would go again, need to book ahead through, a trip to Kangaroo Island and got to see the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula down to Cape Jervis along the way, all this is possble in few days, 5/7 days perfect. Just do it.

          Great day trip, would HIGHLY recommend!
          We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private wine tour in the beautiful Barossa Valley with Di from Ambler Touring. We were provided with a number of great recommendations but were able to fully customise our itinerary. We chose to visit a diverse selection of wineries inbcluding Yaldara, Yalumba, Rusden and Seppeltsfield Road Distillers, allowing us to appreciate the different styles and nuances of Barossa Valley wines, as well as a stop at the Maggie Beer Farm for lunch, and a number of lookouts and points of interest in the region. Our lovely guide Di had an expert knowledge of the local area, and made this tour an unforgettable experience. We were not only treated to an array of outstanding wines but also given insights into the region's unique history and culture. Di's attention to detail and warm, friendly demeanor made us feel well looked after, and she ensured we had a fantastic and memorable day out. She even bought us cookies! Our tour in the Barossa Valley was an absolute delight and we would happily book with Ambler again to try some of the venues we missed. We highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a truly immersive and memorable wine journey in one of Australia's most renowned wine regions. Thank you to Di and Roger for curating a perfect day and for looking after us! -Alex and Bridie

        The whole day was incredible. A few days prior, when confirming my pickup location, Roger let me know that since I would be the only one on the tour that day, that the itinerary could be more flexible. We still went to the main itinerary locations, including Red Cacao and Hahndorf, but Roger also managed to include other opportunities for chocolate, cheese and fruit picking! I also got a city and North Adelaide tour, as I enjoy learning about the history of the area, and Roger was kind enough to stop back at my hotel to drop off all my souvenirs before taking me to Glenelg at the end of the day so I could explore the area there for the evening.
        With a wealth of knowledge, Roger made the entire trip comfortable, engaging and informative. I loved how flexible and personalised it ended up being; the whole day was accommodating to what I was interested in so if you're looking for affordable and flexible small group, semi-private or even completely private tours, Ambler Touring absolutely delivers a great experience that is worth every cent!

        Roger was great to deal with by phone in picking our first tour , to Murray River and lunch cruise with several stops there and back . We were picked up by Di our chauffeur and guide who explained all the localities we visited , she was prepared to stop anywhere we wanted to ( only us on tour ) and suggested places that she felt would suit our interests . We booked a second day trip , again just 2 of us to the coast with an excellent lunch at Flying Fish restaurant and a first class winery tasting at Olivers Taranga ( McLaren Vale 0 , a look at the Dali sculptures at D'Arenberg and other stops suiting our interests.
        Modern , very comfortable vehicles that made for two excellent days out.

        We had an exceptional day out on an all day tour of the McLaren Vale region with Roger from Ambler Touring. We found Roger to not only be a highly knowledgeable guide, he was also great company.

        Although we had a pre-set itinerary, Roger was highly flexible with the tour arrangements on the day and after speaking with my partner and I as to our preferences, made a few subtle changes to the list of venues to better match them with our interests. Roger absolutely nailed it in this regard, starting with a local cafe for coffee, D'Arenberg Cube for a tour and tasting, Agostino for lunch, Goodieson Brewery, Settlers Spirits and Samuel's Gorge to finish. We loved them all and are already planning to go back.

        Roger was highly generous with both his hospitality and time (we returned to our accommodation 90 minutes past schedule)! If you're contemplating a tour to any of SA's wine regions, then you can't go past Roger at Ambler Touring.

        Both Di and Roger gave us 3 days of touring which arguably were the best we've ever had locally or overseas. Although we went via another tour operator, Ambler Touring through both Di & Roger provided service that was incomparable. Nothing was too much trouble and the knowledge of the local areas that they married with our desires suited us perfectly. I can honestly say that they showed us things that fitted with our likes without us telling them so. Perfect touring.

        The tour lets you do whatever you want really, we had the freedom to choose our itinerary and Di provided some really great suggestions.

        We were picked up and dropped off at our apartment and Di made the day really easy and enjoyable, we never once felt rushed even though it was a long day!

        What a special 55th wedding anniversary treat to be picked up by Roger in his extremely comfortable vehicle with only one other couple, and being whizzed up into the scenic Adelaide Hills in their glorious Autumn colours. Here we were introduced to the art of making delicious chocolate at Red Cacao, shown some of the beautiful old mansions in this area, and headed via Hahndorf to Murray Bridge to board the Captain Proud Paddle Boat 3 hour lunch cruise. After the cruise Roger was there to take us to some of his special spots- he knows this area so well and his commentary was most informative, to say nothing of his driving skills through some of the demanding roads in the Adelaide Hills.
        This personalised trip with Roger was one to be highly recommended, and we look would certainly choose to travel with him again when planning a special day’s outing!

        What a lovely day we had with Ambler Touring. Di was a wonderful guide, as it was just the 3 of us she made it very flexible asking where we wanted to go and offering wonderful suggestions. We went to Mt Lofty, Adelaide Hills and then to Hanhdorf. She suggested we do a tour of The Cedars, Hans Heyson house, studio and grounds and it was great. A very relaxing day, it was like travelling with another friend. Thank you Di. Definitely recommend Ambler Touring if in Adelaide.

        Hahndorf is a bit odd as a place. It's half real and half artificial, catering more for tourists than for locals. There's a lot of German-themed pubs, food places and shops here, but it feels a bit as if they're trying a bit too hard. It doesn't feel very genuine as you walk up and down the main drag.
