Not the experience we signed up for . Twenty minute whip around Adelaide before we had to collect a full day tour experience - they decided to combine both trips. Off to Hahndorf-cakes in a pub that we didn’t know were part of the tour(irony is because we hadn’t signed up for it , we would have to pay). Two hour aimless walk around Hahndorf . Beautiful place but half an hour would have been adequate. Then lunch back at the same place - again not part of our tour . We then went to Mount Lofty - not the tour operator’s fault but it was cloudy and he was reluctant to take us there .Then we could have gone to a strawberry farm. Why? The guide himself , Paul, obviously thought he was very funny. Nobody else did ! If you asked a question he would reply “ I’m a tour operator not a historian!” or “I’m not educated “. His narration of Adelaide history was narrated in a tone of “I’ve done it so many times before”. Before we went to Adelaide we were in Perth and now in Melbourne . Both city tours and surrounding areas have been excellent . Paul questioned what else we would have wanted- we said maybe stopping for photos in Adelaide . His response was”we are not a walking tour” . Strange that we had to walk in Hahndorf for two hours and would have had to walk around a strawberry farm while the guide , no doubt, had free time. At first this excursion really put me off Adelaide . Fortunately we had some very successful trips thereafter. I’m sure he’ll have a rude rebuttal of my comments,as he has with others that have dared to complain ! It really wasn’t the best start to Adelaide.

Amazing experience! We got to try over 25 wines at the different locations and had a really good lunch! Definitely exceeded my expectations. 100% would recommend if you’re in the area😍 I also found that the prices were very reasonable at the wineries!

Took the full day Barossa valley tour on 30 Dec. Deep was a lovely , knowledgeable and funny guide and he drove us around beautifully as well . We stopped at 5 places overall and had the most amazing day and sampled almost 28 wines along the day , with a nice lunch thrown in as well. You are picked up at 8:30/9 in the city and reach by about 6 pm or a bit . 1. Kersbrook Hill - Lovely wines and a great host 2. Maggie Beers Farm - a good stop for quick shopping , farm tour and pictures 3. Chateau Dorrein - Tasted Meads 4. Kies - This is where we had lunch before our tasting - they do a good job in collecting orders from a set menu - Veg options are available , food is part of your package , drinks are extra . Wines were ok 5. Chateau Tanunda - Classy and premium place . Overall a wonderful experience . The van transport is also nice , we are not more than 25/30 people and it makes for lovely company getting to know many others as well . The tour ends in Glenelg usually , so would make sense to get dropped off there and enjoy the sunset and dinner at the beach before heading back to Adelaide city if that is where you stay . Highly recommended - even for first time wine tasters .

Great trip to get a feel for where everything is around Adelaide city. Hahndorf was a lovely little town. We spent 2 hours there and that was long enough to see most things. Great value for money and Deep was a very friendly and engaging tour guide.

What a beautiful day out. Our guide Deep was very informative. Each stop was different and provided a different "flavour" of the Barossa. A stand out was the visit to Hahndorf. What a beautiful town.

Had a great day visiting some fabulous cellar doors - Kersbrook Hill, Kies, Maggie Beer Foundation, Chateau Dorrien, and Chateau Tanunda. The wine tasting was free and the trip included a nice meal at the Monkey Nut Cafe. Perry, the guide kept us entertained and he knows his trade well.

My wife and I took a full-day tour of Adelaide and the surrounding areas with Roger Brock from Ambler Touring. Roger grew up in the Adelaide area and provided a lot of very interesting background. He personalized the tour to match our interests including a visit and tasting at one very interesting winery, d’Arenberg’s. This winery’s tasting facility is shaped like a Rubik’s Cube with some very unusual art. We picked up a couple of bottles. We roamed the countryside visiting Mount Lofty, the Malaren Vale, and Hahndorf. His car was spotless and very comfortable. Roger was quite the historian and seemed to know people at every stop. One super stop was to the Woodside Cheese Wrights. We tasted some award-winning cheeses and bought some to take back to our place. We have been to many countries and taken lots of tours. Roger’s was the best. We highly recommend him.

Excellent service by Bums on seat Driver was very helpful and knowledgeable and food and wineries were also very good. Would highly recommend this trip

Fabulous way to see as much of Barossa Valley AND Hahndhorf. Maggie Beer's Farm Shop is a quaint first stop for brekky to load up for some wine. Both Château Tanunda and Kies Family Winery presented their top-tier wine for tasting. The final perusal through Hahndorf was a nice taster as 1 hour gives you plenty to see if you're not going to shop, but I recommend coming back after the tour if you really want to spend more time in the village.

Great tour. Deep, the tour guide, was full of information and was amusing. Each winery was interesting and different. Maggie Beers farm was great, as was the chocolate factory. Hahndorf was delightful as always, but very busy. All in all, a great tour showcasing a little of South Australia.

Highly recommend. Great tour leader/driver Pete. Loved Chateau Tanunda. Fabulous scenery on way to Hahndorf after a yummy vegan lunch

Great trip,lovely lunch. The day went very quickly. The wine tasting venues were great, they were all a bit different and offered a variety of local wines, the chocolate factory was an added bonus.

Highly recommend this tour and company. The whole family enjoyed out winery tour. Our driver/tour guide Parry, was amazing. He made the tour extra memorable. The wineries we went to were all amazing but my favorite was Sew & Sew, a lovely small boutique winery. We also had a very special visit to Graham Stevens winery which has been sold. Graham was a delight and his wines are highly awarded. A lovely and well respected wine maker in SA. This tour is a must. You will not be disappointed with Bums on Seats tours as they cater for small and big groups. Thank you Parry for a perfect day!

Anil was amazing!! We told him what we wanted to see and he made sure we saw everything and more. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the areas. We had an elderly passenger with mobility issues and Anil went out of his way to ensure he was ok and could access everything. He was kind, patient and could not do enough for us. Thank you so much bums on seats. We would recommend your service time and again. Thank you Anil for a perfect day! The Gold Coasters

We couldn't have chosen a better tour than the Barossa Valley and Handorf Tour - Great guide (Pete). Great wine. Great food. With two senior couples on board Pete was very friendly and considerate. He kept us well informed about the places we were visiting and we enjoyed the friendly banter.
